Is GERD caused by a virus?
I know someone who suffers from GERD and he told he thinks it caused by a virus. Is that correct?
Thank you. I don't believe from what I have read that it is actual symptom of a virus; but I agree if you have a virus it can be worse (if that make's sense.
Just I have a friend who suffer's from it and he doesn't understand what cause's it.

Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
Not sure if a virus can cause it, but I know it can trigger symptoms to flare....just as having a cold can....stress can as well.....
So being sick with a virus could have some relation to their GERD...as any meds they took for it could also be a trigger.....
