Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) digestive disorder caused by gastric acid flowing from the stomach into the oesophagus. The lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) is a muscle that connects the stomach and oesophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux describes a backflow of acid from the stomach into the swallowing tube or oesophagus.
