That burning in your chest after eating?
That’s acid reflux! 🔥
Acid reflux occurs when the valve that controls the food - specifically, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) - weakens or relaxes inappropriately.
This ring of muscle, located at the bottom of the esophagus (the tube connecting the throat to the stomach), normally acts as a one-way gate, opening to allow food and liquid into the stomach and then closing tightly to keep them from coming back up.
When the LES doesn’t close completely or opens too often, stomach contents and acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation known as acid reflux.
