Acid reflux can be an excruciating illness and if left untreated it can outcome in damage to the esophagus and larynx (voice box) leading to crucial complications. When you gulp down food it passes down your throat and through your esophagus - a tube that transports food from your throat to your stomach. A muscle termed the lower esophageal sphincter dominates the opening between the esophagus and the stomach, and remains firmly closed except when you swallow food.

This backward movement is called reflux which if persisted causes blisters in the lining of the esophagus, leading to pain and various other symptoms.
