Acid Reflux Regurgitation is another common symptom of GERD, other than heartburn. To know the symptoms, remedy and treatment of Acid Regurgitation refer the following article.

Acid reflux occurs due to the abnormal functioning of the lower sphincter muscles which causes the liquid and semi-solid contents of the stomach regurgitate or refluxes back into the esophagus. Some acid and enzymes are used by the stomach to digest the food that person eats. Heartburn is caused by the liquid and the semi-solid content which contain some acid from the stomach, regurgitates or refluxes back up the food pipe and esophagus. Acid reflux is generally experienced at night as many persons eat heavy, oily and spicy food, and go to bed.

Instead of traveling to the small intestine for further digestion, the partly digested food in the stomach mixed with the acid and travels back into the esophagus. Due to overeating, oily and spicy food, and taking a nap immediately after eating, Acid Reflux can also occur during the day. Acid reflux is mostly caused due to improper diet and eating habits such as Cigarettes, caffeine, chocolates, obesity, alcohol, and pregnancy and delayed stomach emptying.

Acid Reflux Regurgitation is the sensation that occurs when acid travels all the way up from the stomach, past both the lower and upper esophageal sphincters, into the mouth. Regurgitation cause sour taste in the mouth and to clear the acid that is refluxing many people swallow repeatedly; but this result in air being swallowed along with saliva.
