Welcome to our Gerd Community!
If you are here it's because you, a family member, or loved one suffers from GERd. It could also be because you're trying to get information on what you believe to be your issue. We're not doctors here, but we do have an expert forum for questions you may have for a professional to answer.
I hope you become an active member of the Gerd Community and share your experiences and support. This is one place you can come to vent or just know you are not alone and someone does understand.
Our number one goal is to provide support to each other...it is in giving that we receive!
Please feel free to look around the forum to get familiar with the options on your personal profile.
There's an option to view the 'community archives' located next to the green 'post a question' button. In it you will find the forum’s past questions and posts regarding Gerd and some of the possible treatments you may have had or would like to learn more about. If you have suffered from Gerd issues, check out the 'health pages' option in the upper right corner of the forum. You will find some great, resourceful information on symptoms and the different options available to treat your pain as well as research, testimonials.

You'll also find you have a 'Journal' on your profile. You can write anything you like in your journal and chose to make it public for any other MedHelp member to see, allow only your friends to view it or keep it private for only you. You may also want to fill out a little bit of information about yourself on your personal profile so we can all get to know more about you as you post and comment in the community.
We're so glad you have found us here and really look forward to getting to know you better, as we learn how your condition has affected you and your lifestyle.
