Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). This action can irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. | Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach).

+ | |||
+ | An antacid is any substance, generally a base or basic salt, which counteracts stomach acidity. Antacids are not contraindicated for Marshall Protocol (MP) patients. As with other over-the-counter medications and supplements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note, however, that according to a recent literature review, antacids are no better than placebo in a literature review.(({{pubmed> | ||
+ | |||
+ | MP patients should not take antacids at least one hour before or two hours after taking other medications. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Proton-pump inhibitors === | ||
Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of drugs whose main action is a pronounced and long-lasting reduction of gastric acid production. They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available today. | Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a group of drugs whose main action is a pronounced and long-lasting reduction of gastric acid production.
