Acid in esophagus: Acid reflux or GERD is characterized by gastric acid contents to reflux back to the esophagus, worse at night, after a big meal, after mint candies or gum, after eating tomato sauce, alcohol, spicy foods. The acid may reflux to the back of your throat, specially at night. Life style modifications and medications are the primary treatment for GERD. See your family doctor.
