Happy GERD Awareness Week! GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more than just occasional heartburn — it’s a chronic condition where stomach acid regularly flows back into the esophagus. Common symptoms include:

🌶️ Food-Triggered Symptoms

If you’re experiencing these often, our team is here to help you find relief. Visit our website or call 330-225-6468 to schedule an appointment. Your gut deserves to feel good every day!

Did you know your gut and brain are in constant communication? The “gut-brain axis” links digestion, mood, and even stress levels.

A healthy gut can help improve more than digestion — it can support your overall well-being. Small steps like better sleep, balanced meals, and stress management make a big difference. A healthy gut isn't just about digestion...it supports your whole well-being!
