To recognize GERD Awareness Week, IFFGD will launch a campaign to emphasize the importance of understanding GERD symptoms, triggers, and treatments available to help individuals find relief and improve their quality of life. We encourage you to get involved by using the hashtags #GERDAwarenessWeek and #ManageGERD.
