Weight Loss and GERD
GERD is a condition that presents as reflux and can affect the digestive system as it presents with symptoms of abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas and heartburn. Weight loss can demonstrate great improvement in this condition, as can the changing of the particular foods that are consumed. As well as improving the condition itself, or even eradicating the condition completely, weight loss can greatly decrease the pain that is associated with GERD.Unfortunately the correlation between a high body fat percentage and an individual’s weight is often more common in women than men, and therefore women have more to gain when weight loss is achieved.
