When was the term GERDS first used? The Year?

When was the term GERDS first used? The Year?

First I would like to know when GERDS was first used? What was it Medically called before?
Most Important, I have had many give different answers to this question?

Can Ulcers be connected to GERDS and I would like a detailed answer if they are in anyway.
If you had GI Bleeding (Scarring now), Could you now just have GERDS?
Thanks!
This seems to be even a set of questions doctors don't agree on.
This is for a Veteran I'm helping.
