Acid Reflux – Symptoms and causes

Gastro esophageal reflux disease or acid reflux occurs when the digestive acids in the stomach get unbalanced, creating a back up reflux and affecting the esophagus. There are many causes for these symptoms to appear and one of them could be due to abnormalities of the Lower Esophageal sphincter. The LES is a valve that works as a door between the esophagus and the stomach and malfunction of the LES can create the acid reflux.
