El reflujo gastroesofágico, de acidez estomacal a enfermedad

Alicante/Madrid, June 15 (efesalud.com). When the muscular ring of the lower esophageal sphincter does not properly seal the entrance to the stomach pouch, the digestive contents, composed of nutrients, pepsin, and acids, can leak out and even regurgitate into the throat, causing discomfort, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. "If the liquid reaches the respiratory tract, it will cause coughing, possibly inflame the throat, or trigger asthma attacks.

Heartburn is one of the symptoms that indicate a malfunctioning digestive system. FULL TEXT: https://efesalud.com/porques-reflujo-... MORE HEALTH INFORMATION: http://www.efesalud.com/
