Reflux-Enteritis

Reflux - enteritis

Definition of reflux. Reflux is the backflow of the contents of the duodenum, as well as gastric juice, back into the esophagus. A person often experiences malfunctions in the functioning of the sphincter between the stomach and esophagus - it opens when excessively swallowing air or overeating, which causes a reverse reaction of the stomach. Severe reflux begins due to weakness of the lower esophageal sphincter valve, which opens not only when swallowing food, but also during chewing or loud conversation. This condition can lead to digestive problems, since there will be hydrochloric acid in the esophagus. How do the esophageal sphincters work? Such a valve, due to its structure, instantly closes when food or drink arrives.
