Learn more about Acid Reflux, LPR (Silent Reflux) and GERD in this educational video by Dr. Pasha.

Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is acid reflux that enters into the esophagus and is often associated with heartburn. On the other hand, Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) occurs when contents (acid and enzymes) from the stomach enter the throat and is not associated with heartburn or a “burning” sensation in the chest, earning it the nickname “silent reflux.”

Treating acid reflux, especially LPR, begins with behavior changes. Dr. Pasha feels that most cases of LPR can be treated with behavior changes alone, avoiding the potential complications of medications.

For persistent problems, Dr. Pasha may send you to a surgeon that performs surgery for acid reflux. One such procedure is called a fundoplication, which involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus to create a stronger valve between the esophagus and stomach. It can be done laparoscopically (with small surgical incisions) or as a traditional open operation with a larger incision.
