Dear Ann and Katherine,

Just a reminder that virtually all young babies have GER (GE
Reflux)...that is they spit up.  Yet very, very few of them (about 2% of
all babies)have GERD (GE Reflux Disease) or pathological reflux that
causes symptoms of severe emesis, poor weight gain, or pain and crying.
This is probably in large part due to genetic predisposition to reflux
although in some babies it results from a food allergy.
