Understanding the basics of acid reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux (or better known as "acid reflux" or "acidity") occurs when the acid in the stomach and food invests from the stomach into the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter normally acts as a valve and keeps food on his way down after he swallows it. Reflux in the newborn babies is common because them a baby is still weak, as the necessary muscles have not strengthened yet. The symptoms of acid reflux for adults include a burning sensation in the chest and throat, or a taste bitter, puke - in the mouth. Some people with frequent symptoms of acid reflux can produce a boast of acid in the stomach that stomach spills.

Some remedies for acidity simply imply a change of habits. One of the causes of this evil is over-eating, which makes it a great problem in holiday. "The holiday season is clearly one of the worst times of the year for patients with GERD," says Dr. William Chey, a gastroenterologist at the University of Michigan. "The large amount of food that we consume during the holidays and the types of food served during holidays - especially food with caffeine - and fat can be a recipe for disaster for those who suffer from chronic heartburn".

When we eat large amounts of food, the stomach stretches and naturally relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter. Rather than three large meals or a big meal, try to eat smaller meals continuously throughout the day to maintain the standard acid production.
