Treatment Options

 

As part of your care at our Heartburn and Reflux Program, you will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team involving a gastroenterologist, a dietitian, and if needed, a surgeon. The team will review your symptoms, medical history, and test results to develop a treatment plan that best addresses your needs. The severity of GERD can range from mild to severe and can change over time. For some individuals, treatment may be needed on a regular basis. For others, treatment needs can increase over time, especially if symptoms worsen.

Treatment involves a step-wise approach based on the severity and duration of your symptoms:

Diet and Lifestyle:

You will meet with a dietitian who will help you make changes to your diet and lifestyle to help minimize symptoms. Even if you seek medication or surgical intervention, lifestyle changes are often a necessary complement.

Medication:

Our team will prescribe appropriate medications that may provide temporary symptom control but does not treat the underlying anatomical problem. Medications will be monitored and adjusted as appropriate.

Anti-Reflux Surgery:

Chronic GERD sufferers may benefit from interventions designed to reconstruct the anatomical components of the anti-reflux barrier. This approach restores the body’s normal defense against reflux.
