Heartburn occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus).
Typically, when food is swallowed, a band of muscle around the bottom of the esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into the stomach. Then the muscle tightens again.
Certain foods and drinks can trigger heartburn in some people, including:
•Spicy foods
•Onions
•Citrus products
•Tomato products, such as ketchup
•Fatty or fried foods
Heartburn that occurs frequently and interferes with your routine is considered gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment may require prescription medications and, occasionally, surgery or other procedures. GERD can seriously damage your esophagus or lead to precancerous changes in the esophagus called Barrett's esophagus.
