People With GERD More Likely to Develop Asthma August 13, 2008

I read an article today about the link between asthma and GERD. I have both now but I never used to have asthma. I was diagnosed with GERD when I was 15 and put on medication for a month or so. But then the doctors took me off the medication thinking I would grow out of the condition. I never grew out of the condition and my GERD became more severe. I now have to be careful what I eat and how much I eat or else the acid reflux will flare up and then so does my asthma, which I was diagnosed with just a couple of years ago.  Below is a snippet of the article:

People With GERD More Likely to Develop Asthma

FRIDAY, July 25 (HealthDay News) — The first evidence linking gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and asthma has been discovered by Duke University Medical Center researchers.

An association between the two conditions was first noted in the 1970s, and since then studies have shown that between 50 percent and 90 percent of asthma patients also experience GERD symptoms. But the actual link between GERD and asthma hasn’t been clear.

In experiments with mice, the Duke team found that inhaling tiny amounts of stomach fluid that back up into the esophagus — a hallmark of GERD — can cause immune system changes that lead to asthma.

The researchers placed miniscule amounts of gastric fluid into the lungs of mice over an eight-week period. When exposed to allergens, the immune systems of these mice responded differently than those of mice that didn’t have gastric fluid in their lungs.
