Acid reflux, also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort or even damage to the lining of the esophagus. While acid reflux can be caused by a variety of factors, there are several common causes that contribute to the development of this condition.

Acid reflux can also be exacerbated by a diet heavy in fatty and spicy foods. These meals can ind...
