Reflux: basically, reflux means that gastric contents are refluxed into the esophagus. This can be exacerbated by fatty meals, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, peppermint, licorice. Acid levels can be normal or even low, but can burn the esophagus. Treatment includes acid blockers such as PPI's orH2 blockers. Sometimes the reflux can be caused by bile, which is non acidic and is treated with sucralfate
