It is a condition where the liquid content of the stomach or the gastric juices usually containing acid and pepsin goes back to esophagus by regurgitation or reflux. In medical parlance, it is known as GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflex Disease). The acid in the refluxed liquid has the potential to damage esophagus lining causing its inflammation, a condition called esophagitis. Sometimes this liquid coming to esophagus from the stomach may also contain bile refluxed from duodenum into the stomach though the damaging potentials of this bile and pepsin are not well known. Both acid reflux and esophagitis if it occurs are chronic conditions. It however needs to be clarified that while acid reflux is common in most individuals, GERD occurs only when the refluxed liquid level is quite high and contains higher than normal level of acid. The body’s defense mechanism controls the refluxed liquid usually sending them back to the stomach when we are awake and our bodies are in upright position. Also activities like swallowing remove the reflux and the bicarbonate produced by the saliva removes any trace of acid staying back in the esophagus. But this all happens when we are awake. When we sleep, protective mechanisms like gravity, swallowing and salivation do not work much or stop altogether allowing the acid to remain longer in the esophagus causing it more harm.
