It is time to visit a GI doctor if you endure acid reflux a minimum of two times a week, as this could be a sign you are suffering from gastrointestinal reflux disease. GERD is a severe form of acid reflux that can cause damage to the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract without proper care. The team at GI Alliance of Illinois can evaluate your current symptoms and diagnose the condition. Our providers can also help you identify any triggers to minimize the effects of acid reflux.
