Dyspepsia and Acid Reflux
Dyspepsia & Acid Reflux (GORD) Treatment – Redwood Pharmacy
Dyspepsia, also known as indigestion, and GORD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease) are common digestive conditions that affect many people in the UK. They are often caused by stomach acid flowing back into the oesophagus, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn, bloating, and acid reflux.
At Redwood Pharmacy, we offer a private consultation and treatment service for dyspepsia and GORD, including effective medications like Omeprazole and Lansoprazole, available without needing to see your GP.
🔍 What Is Dyspepsia / GORD?
GORD is a long-term condition where acid from the stomach leaks up into the oesophagus, often due to a weakened lower oesophageal sphincter. Dyspepsia refers more broadly to indigestion-related symptoms, which can include:
-
Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)
-
Sour taste in the mouth
-
Upper abdominal discomfort or pain
-
Bloating or belching
-
Nausea after eating
-
Feeling full too quickly during meals
These symptoms can be occasional or chronic, and may worsen after meals, when lying down, or during times of stress.
