Poor plumbing: Hello, Acid Reflux disease is usually due to improper relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter that allows stomach contents to re-enter the esophagus. However, poor motion of your esophagus as well as delayed emptying of your stomach can also contribute. Given your medical history, the most important thing would be to establish a correct diagnosis by speaking with your physician.
