When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
Certain foods can contribute to acid reflux, such as chocolate, drinks with caffeine, fried food, mint and peppermint flavored candy, spicy food, garlic, onions and of course citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemon and limes.
The thing about surgery for acid reflux and indigestion is that the recovery can be difficult and the results are not always consistent. Many people will feel complete relief and others won’t. In addition, it is often possible for the problem to reoccur, even after surgery and more surgery may be necessary.
The most popular and largely used drug for this disease is PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitors), this is the drug which is generally prescribed by the doctors for relief from the pains causing due to the attacks of Acid Reflux. PPI helps in stopping the production of the acidic contents in the stomach which pushes into esophagus and cause acid reflux.
