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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

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

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

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