It comes as no surprise as researchers delve further into GERD, the causes and possible treatments that also should discover other symptoms. It has been recently published (GERD and Chronic Cough) that a chronic cough may be indicia of GERD in patients that are non-smokers and aren’t taking ACE inhibitors. This is currently being described as silent GERD and may account for 43 to 75% of all GERD cases, it also referred to as larygopharyngeal reflux disease. Just because a person isn’t symptomatic in a typical fashion (chronic heartburn, burping/belching, regurgitation) does not mean that they do not suffer from GERD. The reality is that a far greater number of people may have undiagnosed GERD which means that a larger percentage of the population may not be good subject’s for breath testing due to the mouth alcohol contamination caused by GERD.
