GERD is no longer a rare affliction; it is a widespread condition affecting a substantial portion of the population. In the U.S. alone, GERD is estimated to affect over 20% of adults regularly, with millions experiencing symptoms intermittently. Globally, GERD’s prevalence is on the rise and is one of the driving forces behind the surge in GERD diagnosis. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that 63% of respondents were familiar with GERD symptoms, indicating improved public awareness.

Furthermore, people are more informed than ever about GERD’s signs and symptoms, through an abundance of information available online and through healthcare providers. Public health campaigns, medical literature, and online resources have made it easier for individuals to recognize the signs of GERD, such as heartburn, regurgitation, and persistent coughing, leading to a proactive approach in seeking medical evaluation.
