Living with Reflux supports families with children suffering from Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux (GOR) & Reflux Disease (GORD), advised by our 'Medical Advisory Board'. As the Uk's national children's charity we understand feeling unheard and exhausted is too common a phenomenon within families living with infants and children with reflux. That’s why we are here to help support you and your whole family. We have several "admins" that are here to help if you feel you have a question or query, please do not hesitate to contact us at this address: support-admin@livingwithreflux.org We are very proud of the friendliness and supportive nature of our forum, and take pride in the fact that members feel safe and understood here. TOGETHER in numbers we can start to raise the profile of this condition, push for better understanding and gain faster support. Feel free to join us ask questions we look forward to meeting you.

Reflux disease can have a terrible impact on a patients quality of life affecting many aspects of their everyday functioning. For many people, this can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and/or medication prescribed by their GP such as omeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole (as well as others). However there are over 2 million people in the UK who do not respond effectively to this treatment and for these people, there are other options they can consider to treat their disease.
