DDW: Resolve GERD by Losing Weight

Another disease of choice for which the rest of us need not pay.

Among obese patients in a weight loss program, about two-thirds of those with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) reported complete symptom resolution by the end of the intervention, Mandeep Singh, MD, of Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, and colleagues reported during an oral session at Digestive Disease Week here.

"Weight loss leads to a resolution of GERD symptoms, and there appears to be a dose-response relationship," Singh said.
