This leads to clinical manifestations such as vomiting, regurgitation, discomfort during feeding, and even growth disturbances. In infants, this condition may manifest itself as episodic regurgitation, which, however, rarely leads to serious complications. In most cases, GER is a temporary phenomenon associated with the immaturity of the digestive system, and dyspepsia goes away with time. However, in rare cases, this condition can transform into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is characterized by more pronounced symptoms and disorders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

of the disease and interesting historical facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Gastroesophageal reflux disease has been known to medicine since ancient times. The first mentions of symptoms corresponding to GER can be found in the works of Hippocrates, who described ailments associated with problems of the digestive system. However, much time has passed since the formulation of the term \u201creflux\u201d, and it was only in the 20th century that this disease began to be actively studied. By the time gastroesophageal reflux disease was described as a separate clinical syndrome in the 1970s, doctors began to recognize its multifaceted nature. Current research, such as Takoo et al. (2021), emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of GER, taking into account not only physical but also psychoemotional aspects.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%AD%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Epidemiology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Epidemiological data show that GERD in infants occurs in 30-40% newborns, and this figure significantly decreases by 12 months of life. According to a study conducted in Europe (Molton et al., 2020), approximately 5% infants have symptoms indicating the presence of gastroesophageal reflux, which requires active treatment. Studies of various populations have found that reflux is more common in children with low birth weight and those born prematurely, while late development of GERD is observed in 0.3-1% children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%93%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C_%D0%BA_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8E\"><\/span>Genetic predisposition to this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is evidence that gastroesophageal reflux may have a genetic predisposition. Some studies have identified mutations in genes associated with connective tissue development and esophageal sphincter function.
