GERD : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease is a chronic symptom of mucosal damage caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus
The treatments for GERD include lifestyle modifications, medications, and possibly surgery. Initial treatment is frequently with a proton-pump inhibitor such as omeprazole.
Zollinger–Ellison syndrome : Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs when one or more tumors form in the pancreas and duodenum. The tumors, called gastrinomas, release large amounts of gastrin that cause the stomach to produce large amounts of acid. Normally, the body releases small amounts of gastrin after eating, which triggers the stomach to make gastric acid that helps break down food and liquid in the stomach. The extra acid causes peptic ulcers to form in the duodenum and elsewhere in the upper intestine.
The tumors seen with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are sometimes cancerous and may spread to other areas of the body.
MEDICATION : A class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) includes:
esomeprazole (Nexium)
lansoprazole (Prevacid)
pantoprazole (Protonix)
omeprazole (Prilosec or Zegerid)
dexlansoprazole (Dexilant)
