What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is a common condition which occurs when some of the acid content from your stomach flows up into the oesophagus - the gullet, which is responsible for moving food down from the mouth. In order to help with food digestion, the stomach contains strong acid. The stomach is protected from the acid as it has a special, protective lining which the oesophagus does not have.

A special muscle called the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LOS), acts as a valve that allows the food into the stomach but prevents it from going back up into the oesophagus. When the valve becomes weak or fails and the stomach contents are regurgitated into the oesophagus, you will experience symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux.

What is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

GORD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease) is a common condition affecting many patients in the UK which causes the stomach contents like acid or bile to reflux up into the oesophagus causing symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux and an unpleasant taste in the back of the mouth.

Chronic exposure to refluxed material such as stomach acid, enzymes and bile causes irritation of the oesophagus that can result in inflammation (oesophagitis), ulceration and pain.

Patient Stories

Around 12 million Britons will suffer from acid reflux at some point — and long term it can lead to ulcers and cancer.

Retired investment banker Jeff Sanford, 55, who lives with his wife Ikuyo in Sevenoaks, Kent, underwent a new non-invasive treatment for the problem.
