anti-reflux

A number of people suffer from indigestion and heartburn that is caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Your esophagus carries food down your throat into your stomach. When this organ becomes irritated or inflamed, pain and difficulty swallowing can result.

Acid reflux occurs when the digestive acid from your stomach flows up into the esophagus. The result is painful acid indigestion.
