| It has been estimated that roughly 1/3 of the North American population suffers from indigestion, heartburn or other symptoms of dyspepsia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These symptoms can be so severe that they affect productivity and quality of life. |
| mydyspepsia.com has been designed to be a resource for information and support for those with dyspepsia, GERD, and other disorders affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract, (e.g. ulcers, gallstones, H. pylori infection, hiatal hernia, Barrett's Esophagus), and is part of a research project aimed at assessing the information needs and well-being of those with these disorders. |
