A comprehensive resource on reflux, the symptons, causes and treatments.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux is a condition where the lower oesophageal sphincter (the muscular ring at the lower end of the oesophagus) is abnormally relaxed and allows the stomach's acidic contents to flow back or 'reflux' into the gullet (oesophagus). It can also cause heartburn.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux is a common condition and the most frequent cause of indigestion in the UK.
