When Acid Reflux occurs, the partially digested food together with the stomach acids come up into the food pipe.
Symptoms of Acid Reflux can be different, the most common of them are indigestion, heartburn and burping. The pain is actually not caused by the food, but by the stomach acids which are irritating the food pipe.
