Have you ever felt burning pain in your lower
chest after a meal? It might be acid reflux,
which also often comes with bloating,
burping, coughing, heartburn and a sour
taste in your mouth. Persistent acid reflux-
occurring twice a week or more – is called
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Fortunately, you don’t have to live with the
pain of acid reflux. There are ways to prevent
and treat the condition, which affects nearly.
20 percent of Americans.
Causes and Triggers of Acid Reflux
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acids and
food back up into the esophagus through the
lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally,
the LES acts as a “gate” between the
esophagus and stomach. It opens to allow
food to pass into the stomach and closes to
prevent acid from moving upward. When the
LES is weak, the contents of your stomach
can move back into the esophagus, causing
acid reflux symptoms.
Occasional acid reflux is common, but there
are certain foods and other factors that
make acid reflux more likely. These include:
.
• Alcohol
• Carbonated drinks
• Chocolate
• Citrus fruits
Fatty foods
• Tomato-based foods like pasta sauce and
ketchup
Peppermint
Spicy foods
• Medications such as antidepressants,
antihistamines, painkillers, sedatives
Being overweight or obese
• Hiatal hernia
• Pressure on the abdomen from pregnancy
or tight clothing
.
.
Smoking
• Stress

uncomfortable, but there are changes you
