A faulty valve. The main cause of acid reflux disease is a problem with the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle. This muscle, which is the âvalveâ between the stomach and the esophagus, normally closes tightly after food has passed through to the stomach. The LES does not stay closed in people with acid reflux disease. When this happens, acid and stomach contents may back up (reflux) into the esophagus. This acid backup can sometimes cause the painful, burning sensation known as heartburn or other symptoms.
Because the acid is slowly eating your stomach wall because it has little else.... Both are acidic fruits, and over increase the concentration(amount) of acid in your stomach. When your stomach digests a meal, the level of acid is greatly, greatly influential. If there is too little acid(drinking too much water or milk), your stomach acid is diluted and takes longer to digest(then you eat too much slowly digesting food and you feel sick).
