INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS ACID REFLUX
Acid reflux is a common digestive condition that characterize a sensational burning pain in the chest area known as heartburn. It occurs when the acid in the stomach enters into the food pipe.
Most times people get confused about the difference between Acid Reflux, Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Heartburn.
The word acid reflux, GERD and heartburn, are often used without differentiation, but these three digestive disorders are different from each other. It’s normal to have experience heartburn at some point in life-that burning sensational pain you feel in the chest after a sumptuous meal. While having this pains occasional might not mean anything serious, but when the sensational pain occurs more than once or twice in a week or becomes something that disturbs your sleep- that is sure thing to worry about and might indicate you have gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is advice to visit the doctor.
––––––––
Acid reflux is a condition or disease that cause you have heartburn. It is the major reason you are experiencing that symptoms. Because stomach acid has escaped into the esophagus. Naturally when food is consumed, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a collection of muscles that gives way for the fluid or food to pass through the stomach and obstruct any content from the stomach from entering the esophagus.
Reflux is a declining condition of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) Acid reflux does not translate to a chronic condition. Whenever there is a malfunctioning in the function of the LES, what you are experiencing is a reflux. So, weather you have reflux once a month or once a year, the bottom line is you are still regarded to have acid reflux.
––––––––
Heartburn is one of the many symptom of acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the most common of the all. Heartburn is never a disease or condition. It’s a condition where you have a burning pain in the lower chest as a results of the stomach contents finding a way into the esophagus.
GERD is a chronic digestive condition affecting the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that cause the continuous inflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Most patient are diagnosed with GERD if they frequently experience heartburn or other reflux symptoms, like two times or more in a week. It may not be necessary to treat Acid reflux, but treating GERD is important.
Sadly more than 100 million Americans have acid reflux without realizing they have this condition
CAUSES OF ACID REFLUX
Why do we have so many people with acid reflux condition? Acid reflux condition may be as a result of many reasons.
Let’s see some of common causes of acid reflux disease. One major reason is the increased rate of acid in most of the foods we eat, especially canned or bottled foods
In this present era, some of the so called canned or bottled foods contain as much acid as that of the stomach itself.
Stomach abnormalities. This is another reason for acid reflux disease known as hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernia occur as a result of the higher section of the stomach and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) move above the diaphragm. This abnormalities can happen in persons of any age. Diaphragm: This is the muscle enclosure that divides the stomach and the chest. A proper functional diaphragm usually helps prevent acid from springing up into the esophagus. But hiatal hernia condition will make it easy for acid to rise into your esophagus.
Smoking. Smoking may be a contributing factor to acid reflux condition through any of the following:
Reducing salivation, which neutralizes the effect of acid
Reducing LES muscle function
Increasing acid secretion
Impairing muscle reflexes in the throat
Damaging mucus membranes
Pregnancy: Most pregnant women encounter acid reflux, especially during their first pregnancy period. This occur by rising levels of hormones integrating with pressure from the developing fetus. Worst during the third trimester, the symptoms usually almost vanished after delivery.
Other Common Causes Of Acid Reflux Disease Include:
Being obese or overweight
Eating a sumptuous meal and lying down on your back after meal
Going to bed immediately after eating or lying down immediately after a meal
Taking some certain blood pressure medications or muscle relaxers.
Some of the common Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease
Heartburn: It’s a condition where you have a burning pain in the lower chest as a results of the stomach contents finding a way into the esophagus.
Regurgitation:
Regurgitation is the forcibly ejection of food from the stomach or esophagus without nausea.
Other symptoms of acid reflux disease include:
Chronic sore throat
Dry cough
Wheezing
Hoarseness
Weight loss
Nausea
Hiccups that don't let up
Dysphagia—the a physical feeling of food being stuck in your throat
Burping
Bloody vomiting or Bloody or black stools
Bloating
Chest pain
List Of Some Of The Common Foods That Trigger Acid Reflux Symptoms:
Citrus fruits, such as lemons or oranges
Coffee or tea (decaffeinated or regular)
Chocolate
Carbonated beverages
Alcohol
Fried or Fatty foods
Foods containing tomato, such as pizza, salsa, or spaghetti sauce
Garlic and onions
Mint
Spicy foods
Excessive alcohol drinking also heighten the risk of esophageal cancer. Regular drinkers have a greater risk than occasional drinkers. When mixed with smoking, the risk becomes greater than for using either tobacco or alcohol alone.

Ways To Prevention Heartburn
Limit the amount of food you eat to smaller Servings.
Be sensitive to food that triggers your heartburn.
