In other words, you consume a particular substance. It triggers this burning sensation, or if you bend over, tie your shoes, or pick up an object and this reproducibly causes the heartburn, then that’s a pretty good index that you do have gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, the mere fact that individuals have reflux doesn’t necessarily mean that they have a disease or a serious condition. That determination one would arrive at because of the fact that it’s altering your normal activities. It’s making you feel uncomfortable.
