The 38 pages that link to Gastroesophageal reflux disease, each with the reason it gives.

• PeristalsisCompared with: Reflux moves contents backward, unlike the forward propulsion peristalsis normally provides.

• Gastric acidRelated: Reflux exposes the esophagus to acidic stomach contents.

• Peptic ulcer diseaseCompared with: Reflux usually affects the esophagus, whereas peptic ulcers are sores in the stomach or duodenum.

• Proton pump inhibitorRelated: Acid suppression can relieve symptoms and heal reflux-related esophageal injury.

• Gastrointestinal tractRelated: It results when the junction between the esophagus and stomach fails to prevent reflux.

• AntacidNarrower topic: Frequent symptoms may indicate a condition that antacids alone do not control.

• Aspiration pneumoniaRelated: Reflux can bring gastric contents upward where they may be aspirated.

• Angina pectorisCompared with: Reflux can resemble cardiac chest discomfort but arises from the esophagus.

• StomachCompared with: It shows the consequences of stomach contents crossing the boundary meant to contain them.

• CoughRelated: Reflux can provoke persistent cough through esophageal-airway interactions or aspiration.

• Dental erosionRelated: Repeated reflux can expose teeth to stomach acid.

• MetoclopramideRelated: Its use for reflux is limited because benefits are modest and adverse effects constrain treatment.

• RegurgitationBroader topic: Repeated regurgitation is a characteristic symptom of this disease.

• FamotidineRelated: Famotidine can reduce the acidity of reflux and relieve some associated symptoms.

• PepsinRelated: Reflux can expose esophageal tissue to pepsin, which may remain damaging beyond the stomach.

• BruxismCompared with: Reflux can erode teeth, producing damage that may be confused with grinding-related wear.

• PharyngitisCompared with: Reflux can irritate the throat and mimic persistent infectious soreness.

• AchalasiaCompared with: Reflux commonly reflects a weak barrier, whereas achalasia involves impaired sphincter relaxation.

• OmeprazoleRelated: Omeprazole reduces acid exposure and is commonly used to treat reflux symptoms and esophagitis.

• ACE inhibitor coughCompared with: Reflux is another common cause of persistent cough and can coexist with medication-related cough.

• CimetidineRelated: Cimetidine can relieve reflux symptoms by lowering gastric acidity.

• Systemic sclerosisRelated: Esophageal dysfunction makes reflux a frequent digestive complication of systemic sclerosis.

• Postnasal dripCompared with: Reflux can also irritate the throat and cause cough, without nasal mucus drainage.

• Congenital diaphragmatic herniaRelated: Reflux is a common longer-term problem after congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

• Eosinophilic esophagitisCompared with: Reflux can mimic symptoms and produce esophageal eosinophils, but it is a distinct diagnosis.

• Sore throatRelated: Reflux reaching the throat can cause irritation and pain, particularly without infection.

• Apple cider vinegarRelated: Vinegar is sometimes promoted for reflux, but evidence does not establish it as a treatment.

• ChymeRelated: Reflux can carry acidic stomach contents, including chyme, into the esophagus.

• EmetophobiaCompared with: Physical symptoms can prompt fear, but reflux is a medical condition rather than a phobia.

• LansoprazoleRelated: Lansoprazole reduces acid exposure and is used to treat reflux symptoms and heal esophagitis.

• PantoprazoleBroader topic: Pantoprazole reduces acid exposure that drives symptoms and esophageal damage.

• BelchingRelated: Frequent belching may occur alongside its characteristic reflux symptoms.

• EsomeprazoleRelated: Esomeprazole reduces acid exposure that drives symptoms and esophageal injury.

• RanitidineRelated: Ranitidine was used to reduce acid exposure in reflux.

• Cornelia de Lange syndromeRelated: Reflux and feeding difficulties are common management concerns in the syndrome.

• Digestive System and Oral Physiological PhenomenaRelated: Reflux exposes the role of barriers and motility in digestive function.

• Gastrointestinal diseaseBroader topic: It illustrates disease centered on the boundary between the esophagus and stomach.

• Herpes esophagitisCompared with: Reflux can inflame the esophagus, but it does not produce HSV-positive ulcer-edge cells.
