![]() Explaining Acid Reflux DifficultiesAcid reflux disease and heartburn are common names for symptoms of GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. The latter is a chronic condition in which the acid contents of the stomach flow backward into the esophagus. If left untreated, this condition can lead to esophageal damage or scarring which could necessitate surgery or become life-threatening. To prevent further complications from acid reflux, once medical treatment for acid reflux disease has begun, it is usually necessary to maintain treatment for the remainder of your life. There are medications which can help to repair the damage but, if discontinued, the symptoms and their damage can reoccur.Specifically, there is a location as the esophagus passes through the diaphragm where the lower end of the esophagus attaches to the stomach and this connection is controlled by a structure called the, "lower esophageal sphincter," or LES. When this structure fails to close completely after swallowing, or it gets pushed apart, stomach acid can travel back upward into the esophagus. There is some disagreement as to the best way to manage this, but the most common causes are widely known and, fortunately, most of them are things which the patient can control to at least some degree. Tension from the stomach and its contents can push against the LES allowing acid to leak out. Being overweight and eating large amounts are two things which increase this pressure. Excess acid can also weaken the LES, whether the acid is in the food itself or is secreted by the stomach to digest the food. Bulky, heavy or fatty foods take longer to digest and require more acid for this process, so they can actually create problems in two ways. One of the convenient, least stressful ways to improve acid reflux disease is merely to eat a normal diet over the day in many small meals, as opposed to three large ones. This change has also helped many people to lose weight because they don't feel starved and overeat before feeling satisfied. Controlling Acid Reflux Culprits And Lessening Symptoms Many people suffer from the symptoms of acid reflux. This causes a burning sensation in the chest which is referred to as heartburn. Describing Heartburn And Related Problems Associated With It Acid reflux disease is the name commonly used for GERD, which is gastroesophageal reflux disease, although technically acid reflux is a symptom of GERD. It is often a chronic condition wherein the acid contents of the stomach back up into the esophagus.
