Acidity & GERD Treatment

Indian patient receiving evaluation for acidity and GERD symptoms in Mumbai

Overview

Acidity occurs when the stomach produces more acid than needed for digestion. When this acidic fluid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe, it can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly called GERD. Frequent backflow may irritate the lining of the throat and esophagus over time.

Common Symptoms

  • Frequent heartburn or a burning sensation in the chest after eating
  • A sour taste in the mouth or fluid rising into the throat
  • Difficulty swallowing solid food comfortably
  • Persistent dry cough or throat irritation, especially at night
  • Bloating and heavy discomfort in the upper stomach

Treatment and Care

Managing GERD may involve lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes and medicines that reduce acid production. If daily heartburn affects sleep or work, consulting an acidity doctor in Parel can help identify the cause and plan treatment. For long-term symptoms, the doctor may recommend an endoscopy in Parel to inspect the food pipe and stomach lining. Patients from Matunga can also consult a gastroenterologist for a personalised plan to protect their digestive health.

Care Highlights

Evaluation of recurring heartburn and reflux symptoms
Diet, lifestyle and medicine guidance based on symptoms
Endoscopy assessment when clinically indicated

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between acidity and GERD?

Occasional acidity may happen after certain meals. GERD refers to repeated acid backflow that causes persistent symptoms or irritation of the food pipe.

When may an endoscopy be advised for acid reflux?

A doctor may consider endoscopy when symptoms are persistent, swallowing is difficult, treatment is not helping, or the food pipe and stomach lining need to be examined.

Can dietary changes help with GERD?

Dietary and lifestyle changes can be part of treatment, but the plan should be based on the person’s symptoms and medical evaluation.

Had consulted Dr Parekh a couple of years back for severe GERD. My experience was that he took the time to listen and understand my symptoms which prior doctors had not done. For patients who are already suffering, finding the right doctor is a boon but finding one who leads with proficiency and empathy is rare - definitely recommend.
