HOW SIGNIFICANT IS YOUR HEARTBURN?
What are the chances that it is something more serious? A panel of experts from the American College of Gastroenterology developed a self-test to help gauge the severity of heartburn problems.

Take this "Acid Test" to find out if you might suffer from GERD and if you are taking the right steps to treat it.

DO YOU FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:

a	An uncomfortable feeling behind the breastbone that seems to be moving upward from the stomach?	Yes	No
b	A burning sensation in the back of your throat?	Yes	No
c	A bitter, acid taste in your mouth?	Yes	No

DO YOU OFTEN EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE PROBLEMS AFTER MEALS?	Yes	No
DO YOU EXPERIENCE HEARTBURN OR ACID INDIGESTION TWO OR MORE TIMES PER WEEK?	Yes	No
DO YOU FIND THAT ANTACIDS ONLY PROVIDE TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM YOUR SYMPTOMS?	Yes	No
ARE YOU TAKING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION TO TREAT HEARTBURN BUT YOU ARE STILL EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS?	Yes	No

IF YOU SAID YES TO TWO OR MORE QUESTIONS, YOU MAY HAVE GERD. TO KNOW FOR SURE, SEE YOUR DOCTOR OR A GASTROINTESTINAL SPECIALIST.

GERD - GASTRO ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (When mild commonly known as Heartburn)

Alzheimer's Disease Treatment

Dementia occurs in people with Alzheimer's disease because healthy brain tissue degenerates, causing a steady decline in memory and mental abilities.
