What GERD Treatment Options Are
Available?

Initial GERD treatment typically involves a combination of lifestyle and dietary changes, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and prescription drug regimens. As the disease progresses, to correct the root cause, an anatomic defect at the gastroesophageal junction, you and your doctor may want to consider surgical intervention, either a conventional laparoscopic procedure or the new incisionless procedure called TIF (Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication).
