Answer 1

false

Step-by-step explanation:

(GERD) is the excessive retrograde movement of acid-containing gastric secretions or bile and acid-containing secretions from the duodenum and stomach into the esophagus. A study by Richter and a Gallup Organization National Survey estimated that 25-40% of healthy adult Americans experience symptomatic GERD, most commonly manifested clinically by pyrosis (heartburn), at least once a month. Furthermore, approximately 7-10% of the adult population in the United States experiences such symptoms on a daily basis. GERD has an estimated worldwide prevalence of 8-33%, [1, 2, 3] There are 3 subtypes of GERD: nonerosive reflux disease, reflux esophagitis, and Barrett esophagus. [4, 5]
