Gastroenterology is the official medical journal of the American Gastroenterological Association. Its first issue was published in 1943. It is currently published by Elsevier. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 20.877, ranking it first among 76 journals in the category "Gastroenterology  & Hepatology".

The Journal consists of Acid reflux, chronic disease, and Gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, Heartburn, and Pyrosis. Acid reflux happens when contents from your stomach move up into your esophagus. It’s also called acid regurgitation or gastroesophageal reflux. If any person is having symptoms of acid reflux more than twice a week, that person might have a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a long-term condition in which stomach contents rise up into the esophagus, resulting in either symptoms or complications. Symptoms include the taste of acid in the back of the mouth, heartburn, bad breath, chest pain, regurgitation, breathing problems, and wearing away of the teeth. Complications include esophagitis, esophageal stricture, and Barrett's esophagus.

The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation initiated a scientific program to assess the incidence, prevalence, mortality and economic impact of digestive disorders across Canada. The current article presents the updated findings from the study concerning gastroesophageal reflux disease – a condition that develops when the reflux of stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms and/or complications.
