Acid Reflux

Acid reflux, also known as “reflux esophagitis”, is an inflammation of the esophagus caused by regurgitation of the contents of the stomach. Acid reflux is most often recognized by its symptom of “heartburn” which reportedly affects 1 out of every 10 adults in the U.S. on a daily basis.When stomach acid leaks back up into the oesophagus, it is called acid reflux. Normally the sphincter, a muscle at the join between the oesophagus and stomach, tightens up to stop acid and food coming back up out of the stomach. Acid reflux happens when the sphincter does not work very well, or when the stomach is very full (for example, after a large meal).

Causes of Acid Reflux
Anyone who a large amount of acidic foods can have mild and temporary heartburn. This is especially true when lifting, bending over, or taking a nap after eating a large meal high in fatty, acidic foods. Persistent GERD, however, may be due to various conditions, including abnormal biologic or structural factors.Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) develops when stomach acid and juices back up, or reflux, into the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This happens when the valve between the lower end of the esophagus and the stomach (the lower esophageal sphincter) does not close tightly enough.

I currently have acid reflux and was wondering if it was related to the diet I had been doing for a few months. I was eating mainly berries (particularly strawberries and raspberries) and bananas and a lot of water. I didn’t really think it was a bad thing at the time since it was fruit, but now I’m starting to wonder if the reflux was a sign of malnutrition or something.
