Acid reflux, also known as acid indigestion, is extremely common. It occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t close properly.
This is the muscle located between the esophagus and the stomach. It’s a one-way valve that normally opens for limited amounts of time when we swallow. When it fails to close completely, stomach contents and digestive juices can come back up into the esophagus.
The most common symptom of acid reflux is heartburn, which causes a burning sensation in the chest. Other symptoms may include regurgitation, difficulty swallowing and these can become chronic for many people and often results in a surgery called fundoplication.
Acid reflux can be seen in those of us with an underactive thyroid. This is especially true if it is due to Hashimoto’s Dis-ease.
It is thought that Hashimoto’s Dis-ease is associated with an esophageal motility disorder that can lead to heartburn and reflux symptoms.
