Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, or GERD, is another name for heartburn, which is a chronic condition. It occurs when the sphincter of the esophogus, going into the stomach, allows some stomach acid to rise into the esophogus, and irritate the tissue there. It is a very painful, damaging, condition.
