digestive disease, GERD is defined as experiencing acid
reflux and heartburn at least twice a week. It affects 20

Staying hydrated, eating more fiber, or over-the-counter
creams may provide relief from hemorrhoids.

also recommend a diet high in fiber and consumption of
probiotics found in yogurt.
