The Experts Agree: Acid Reflux Can Be Very Dangerous If Left Untreated

In time, when acid from the stomach leaks into the esophagus and comes into contact with the delicate esophageal cells, it can lead to more serious medical conditions than heartburn that may require surgery.

GERD, if left untreated, can over time go beyond being plain painful or irritating and lead to dangerous complications such as dissolving of the enamel of the teeth, fluids in the sinuses, lungs and middle ears, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, multiple scars within the esophagus and Barrett’s esophagus.

Here's what two leading experts are saying:

"Cancer of the esophagus related to heartburn and GERD is the most rapidly increasing cancer in western countries"

"Heartburn's not trivial. An interesting study was done of factory workers who were taking lots of over-the-counter medications. And about 40% of them had severe diseases capable of being handled better. We're having an epidemic of GERD. And it's dragging cancer with it. Cancer of the esophagus related to heartburn and GERD is the most rapidly increasing cancer in western countries. We're not sure why there's such an epidemic of GERD and bringing cancer with it. "

"Ulceration of the esophagus can result in hemorrhage...the formation of an abnormal lining of the esophagus can become cancerous. "

"The complication is chronic inflammation of the lining of the esophagus caused by the acid that is in contact with the lining for hours when one is recumbent. The complications are stricturing, which is scaring of the esophagus, which can cause obstruction, ulceration of the esophagus that can result in hemorrhage, and the formation of an abnormal lining of the esophagus that can become cancerous.
