What is acid reflux disease?
If you are suffering from heartburn for two or more even though you are taking medicines and have made diet changes, then it is highly possible you have acid reflux disease.
Acid reflux disease is also known as GERD. GERD is short for gastroesophageal reflux disease (gas-tro-eh-sof-uh-JEE-ul RE-fluks disease).
How does it happen?
Acid reflux disease happens when a valve does not close properly. Esophagus is a valve that connects the mouth to the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter is the valve that opens to allow food and liquids into the stomach. This valve closes to keep acid and food in the stomach. Sometimes this valve does not close properly, which leads to the entry of stomach acid into the esophagus. It is normal for the stomach to send acid to the esophagus, but unnecessary and overly frequent exposure of stomach acid may lead to esophagus damage. This condition leads to heartburn in many people.
