什么是反流反流?

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by a malfunction of the valve between the stomach and the esophagus. 当这种情况发生时, 胃内容, 包括酸, flow up into the esophagus resulting in an unpleasant sensation – what many people call heartburn or reflux. 食道, 不像胃, 没有保护衬里吗, 所以当它暴露在酸中, 它会变得发炎和疼痛.

Certain eating and drinking habits are commonly known triggers for GERD. Your symptoms may be affected by a variety of contributing factors, including:
