In the human stomach produce gastric juice, which includes hydrochloric acid, corroding the bits of food. But the esophagus alkaline medium, therefore, when there is reflux of gastric juice into the esophagus, it becomes irritated – there is a digestive reflux food. Typically, this condition causes heartburn, but in some cases, the acidic contents of the stomach reaches the throat, causing soreness, dryness, burning in throat and chest and feeling of lump in the throat.

Causes of stomach food reflux can vary: it can be diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, for example, gastroezofagealna disease or a hiatal hernia; it may be acute gastritis or intestinal dysbiosis; unpleasant sensations in the throat can be caused by wearing extremely tight clothes – tight jeans, corsets, tight belts tightened, which also lead to the fact, that the gastric juice enters the esophagus and throat. In any case, those suffering from digestive reflux food, you need to contact the doctor-gastroenterologist to diagnose the problem and treat stomach. You also need to stick to your diet - eat less acidic and fried, not drinking alcohol and fizzy drinks, drink more water.

People suffering from digestive food reflux, I advise you to sleep on a high pillow (that night, when the person is in a horizontal position, the gastric juice was difficult to reach the throat), wear loose clothes.
