A report co-authored by Dr. David Gremse, professor and chair of pediatrics at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, is receiving national attention.
The report, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, says pediatricians should differentiate between gastroesophageal reflux (GER), marked by the constant regurgitation of stomach contents, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) before determining a course of treatment.
