Our food pipe carries food from the throat to the stomach. The lower esophagus has a specialized muscle around it that usually stays tightly closed, opening only to allow food and liquid into the stomach. It acts to prevent the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus.

In GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), people regularly have acid reflux, heartburn, or other symptoms caused by gastric acid moving up in the esophagus. These symptoms include heartburn, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and bitter fluid flowing into the mouth.  Certain foods may cause the lower esophageal muscle to relax, causing reflux.
