Dr Lufiani Mulyadi and Dr Leah Machmud discuss Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD/GERD)

Reflux is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions in Australia.

It is estimated to occur in 10–15% of the population, with a rising prevalence, most likely due to obesity. 

Other risk factors include advanced age, male gender, Caucasian ethnicity, diets high in fats, sugars and salt, and smoking.

In this episode, we discuss symptoms, triggers and lifestyle changes you can implement to help alleviate your symptoms of reflux.
