There is a valve at the entrance to the stomach, which is also a ring of muscle known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).


If the LES fails to close completely or opens too often, the stomach acid can move up into the esophagus.


Acid reflux disease can be caused by many things – more things than you may be aware of. It can happen to anyone – regardless of age, weight, and gender.


If you are suffering from acid reflux disease, visit the Digestive & Liver Disease Center of San Antonio.
