Recurring heartburn is a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), caused by a weak lower esophagus. Luckily, antacids, as well as prescription and over-the-counter medications, offer relief for most sufferers. A small percentage of GERD sufferers (less than 5 percent), however, don’t respond to traditional treatments and must seek surgical intervention.
