GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) involves a recurring backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, leading to symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux. EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) is a diagnostic procedure to examine the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, and FOBT (fecal occult blood test) is a screening test for colon cancer. IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is a separate condition that affects the large intestine and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea or constipation.
