So many patients in the UK with reflux symptoms are misdiagnosed and mistreated. Did you know?
- Around 20-30% of the UK population suffer from gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and an even greater portion (up to 40%) suffer from moderate or severe reflux symptoms.
- 30% of patients with GERD do not respond well to standard medications such as proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs like Omeprazole).
- 60% of GERD patients have non-acidic symptoms, which will not be alleviated by PPIs.
