Dietary habits from the perspective of an individual with GERD

Samuel Oliver

Abstract

In this article I describe how taking a class of gastrointestinal module in the 3 rd professional year of my PharmD program enhanced my understanding of the condition of gastrointestinal reflux disease that I had suffered for a long time. Application of the knowledge first to my own health and than to my patient's health is what being a pharmacist means to me.
