Reflux disease manifests in many ways, ranging from “classic” GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) to more complex and sometimes difficult to diagnose syndromes. In this continuing education series, gastroenterologists Prof. Mark Fox, MD, PD Henriette Heinrich, MD, and Prof. Stephan Vavricka, MD, present six patient cases and use these examples to explain the diagnosis and treatment of GERD, laryngopharyngeal reflux, Barrett’s esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, and rumination syndrome.
