The dose of pantoprazole was increased to 40 mg twice a day, and ranitidine and GERD behavior modification were continued. Moreover, women who had gained a substantial amount of weight--22 or more pounds for that 5-foot-6-inch woman, for example--were more than twice as likely to experience symptoms of GERD as they did before the weight gain. GERD occurs when the esophageal sphincter, the ring of muscle at the top of the stomach, allows acid to creep up the esophagus. |
