Introduction & Symptoms
Acid reflux is a common condition particularly amongst adults aged 40 and above and can also affect children. It is also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and occurs when acid leaks from the stomach into the oesophagus. The oesophagus or gullet is the tube which runs from the mouth to the stomach.
The most common symptoms are:-
- Acid reflux - Stomach acid comes into the mouth leaving a nasty taste
- Heartburn - Burning chest pain after eating
- Difficulty or pain when swallowing
What Causes It?
Acid reflux is caused when the lower oesophageal sphincter opens to let food move into the stomach, but doesn't close properly causing acid to leak up from the stomach.
Contributing factors may include:-
- Eating a high fat diet
- Being overweight
- Pregnancy
