Backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus and possibly the throat and nose.
A condition in which contents from the stomach slosh back up into the esophagus and is usually accompanied by a painful sensation behind the breast bone called "heartburn."
The backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Acid reflux generally occurs because the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxes allowing stomach juices back up into the esophagus. This is also called gastroesophageal reflux.
a disorder in which acid in the stomach comes up into the oesophagus, because the valve separating the stomach and oesophagus does not function properly
a condition by which acidic fluid or gasses in the stomach are introduced into the esophagus, often delivering abnormally high levels of mouth alcohol and potentially resulting in falsely high breath alcohol readings.
the backflow of stomach content into the esophagus. Acid reflux generally occurs because the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxes and allows harsh stomach juices to flow back up into the esophagus.
the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Acid reflux generally occurs because the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allows harsh stomach juices flow into the esophagus. Also known as gastroesophageal reflux.
Movement of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus. This occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter or the valve between the esophagus and stomach relaxes. This normally occurs in everybody only occasionally. People who have symptoms have acid reflux commonly.
A common condition and an abnormal one in which acid in the stomach rises up into the esophagus. This occurs because the valve separating the contents of the stomach from the esophagus does not function properly. See also: GERD.
A condition caused by backflow of stomach contents into the oesophagus (gullet). Acid reflux frequently happens when the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS), a gate between the stomach and the oesophagus, relaxes more often than it should and/or at inappropriate times. This allows stomach contents to flow back up into the oesophagus.
chronic symptoms produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus
Acid reflux is a condition that causes heartburn when acid from the stomach flows up into the throat.
