Do You Have GERD?
Take this test, based on a test from the American College of Gastroenterology, to see if you're a GERD sufferer and are taking the right steps to treat it.
Do you frequently have one or more of the following
- An uncomfortable feeling behind the breastbone that seems to be moving upward from the stomach?
- A burning sensation in the back of your throat?
- A bitter acid taste in your mouth?
- Do you often experience these problems after meals?
- Do you experience heartburn or acid indigestion two or more times per week?
- Do you find that antacids only provide temporary relief from your symptoms?
- Do you take the maximum dosage of over-the-counter medication?
- Are you taking prescription medication to treat heartburn and still having symptoms?
- Do you have trouble swallowing or persistent abdominal pain?
If you said "yes" to two or more of the above, you may have GERD. To know for sure, see your doctor.
