Causes of Acidity

The Main Causes of Acidity

Generally, acidity occurs when the lining of the esophagus, i.e. food pipe, is exposed to too much stomach juice for an extended period of time. An esophageal muscular valve normally keeps acid in the stomach and out of the esophagus.

Acid from the stomach flows backward into the esophagus because the valve relaxes too frequently in GERD.
