Connecting you to resources to help you manage your upper GI symptoms

Welcome to YourDigestiveHealth.ca! If you are visiting this website then you are likely among one of the millions of Canadians who experience stomach troubles on a regular basis.

You know the symptoms: abdominal pain or discomfort, heartburn (a burning feeling rising from your stomach or lower chest towards your neck), sour taste in mouth/acid regurgitation, excessive burping/belching, increased abdominal bloating, nausea and early satiety (feeling full just after eating or not able to finish meals).

If you suffer from one or more of these upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, you know the significant impact they can have on your daily activities. What you may not know is that some of these upper GI symptoms may be due to an acid-related disease (ARD) such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or ulcers. Acid-related diseases are real diseases with potentially serious long-term implications.

This website is designed to provide you with current information about upper GI symptoms and ARDs, the available options for symptom relief and to help you understand the potential long-term damage to your upper GI tract that can be caused by untreated upper GI symptoms of acid-related disease. We also want to hear from you. Please share with us how you are coping with your symptoms.
