A member asked:
Is it true that and esophagus can eat itself and how and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly sure: What you mean by "eat itself". There can be changes/erosion due to acid reflux. This can be helped with lifestyle modifications and meds. Do not eat 4 hours before bed, limit alcohol and caffeine. Definitely follow up with your doc.
