Contrary to common misconception, IBS isn't the same as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The exact causes of IBS are unclear, but several factors like gastrointestinal infections, inflammation, altered gut microbiota, and disruptions in the gut-brain axis might contribute.

GERD arises when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) weakens or relaxes inappropriately, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Factors causing LES dysfunction include obesity, certain foods and beverages, and some medications.

Key symptoms include burning stomach pain, bloating, burping, nausea, and weight loss. The pain often worsens on an empty stomach and may be temporarily relieved by certain foods or antacids.

Barrett's esophagus results from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and damage to the esophageal lining. Over time, this repetitive injury triggers changes in the cells lining the lower esophagus, leading to the development of Barrett's esophagus. Other factors, including obesity, smoking, and hiatal hernia, can exacerbate GERD and increase the risk of Barrett's esophagus. Understanding these causes is crucial for preventing and managing the condition, as well as reducing the risk of esophageal cancer.
