What Is Acid Reflux?
Struggling with frequent heartburn or a sour taste in your mouth? These may be acid reflux symptoms, a condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. At Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates, our practice helps patients identify and manage acid reflux causes, which can include overeating, obesity, certain trigger foods, or a weakened lower esophageal sphincter. If left untreated, acid reflux can progress into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or lead to dysphagia, which is difficulty swallowing. If you're experiencing chest discomfort, regurgitation, or a chronic sore throat, connect with our team in Rochester Hills, MI to learn more about diagnosis and treatment options.
How Is Acid Reflux Diagnosed?
Patients experiencing frequent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, or other symptoms of GERD may need a thorough evaluation to confirm whether acid reflux is the underlying issue. To diagnose the condition, specialists at Tayeb Gastroenterology & Associates may recommend an upper endoscopy, pH monitoring, or esophageal manometry, tests designed to assess acid levels and esophageal function. These tools help determine the severity of reflux and rule out complications, like dysphagia. Based on the results, personalized acid reflux treatments may include lifestyle changes, medications, or advanced therapies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Our team is committed to helping patients explore the best options for long-term relief.
