Causes
Of Acid Reflux
There are many causes of acid reflux
disease which bring on heartburn,
stomach pains, and other discomforts.
Some of these causes include smoking,
over-salting your food, obesity, poor
posture, fried and fatty foods, mint
flavorings, eating large meals, eating right
before bed, pregnancy, diabetes, hiatal
hernias, and even rapid weight gain.
Despite recent controversy, drinking
alcohol or teas does NOT increase your risk
of developing acid reflux. Although it
definitely doesn't help to prevent the
disease it is not a known cause.
Two common causes, smoking and
over-salting foods, are said to increase
your risk of getting acid reflux disease up
to 70%! Fatty foods and mint flavorings are
also known to trigger the disease due to the
high acid and fat content in the foods.
Eating large meals and eating right before
bed are two causes that you can completely
control.

When you eat right before bed or when you
choose to eat large meals your stomach
produces an excessive amount of body acid
which doesn't necessarily agree with the
foods and can cause severe heartburn and
other unpleasant events. But before I
explain more about the causes of acid reflux
disease it's important that you understand
what exactly is going on when you have acid
reflux disease.
As we all know, when you consume anything
through your mouth it travels down your
esophagus and into your stomach... easy enough.
Well, in people who have acid reflux disease
the lining of their esophagus and stomach
has been damaged due to a lower acidic
tolerance.
What does that mean?
The cause of acid reflux disease could
easily be related to some acidic food you
ate earlier, like spicy Mexican food, tangy
citrus drinks, or even a can of soda!
Since the lining of the digestive tract
is weak, the stomach will frequently reject
those foods causing severe heartburn or even
regurgitation. As the lining of the
esophagus and stomach continue to become
damaged, it makes it harder and harder to
continue to eat those foods. The effects of
this damage can be life-long and if gone
neglected for too long then the damage could
need to be repaired.
The cause of acid reflux disease is
something that can be treated and we will
discuss how you might treat it in future
articles, but the key to treating it most
effectively is that you must first determine
the cause of acid reflux disease.
So... what is your trigger... determine the
trigger and you most likely will learn the
causes of your acid reflux disease.
