There is valve at the lower end of the esophagus
called lower esophageal sphincter or LES which
is like a gatekeeper to prevent any acid flowing
backwards into the esophagus from stomach. Acid
reflux occurs when LES opens too frequently or if
it is too loose. Another main reason for acid
reflux is obesity where increased pressure in the
abdomen overcomes the barrier between the stomach
and the esophagus.
