Q It gets better with treatment, but flares up again when I'm stressed or overeat. Can recurrence be prevented?
A GERD is closely tied to lifestyle and stress, so management matters. Restoring gastric function while managing diet and stress together can lengthen the intervals between flare-ups and lower their intensity.
Detailed Answer
Stress and overeating disrupt gastric motility and bring symptoms back. Getting better once is not the end; you must also manage the lifestyle factors that invite recurrence to maintain stability.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment focuses on building a foundation so that, even after symptoms subside, the stomach is less shaken by stress or overeating. We set a management method tailored to your lifestyle patterns to reduce recurrence.
