Complex issue: The potential to reflux is constant throughout life as long as the stomach generates pressure by squeezing its contents.As you swallow your spit (intermittent), the stomach opens and pressured contents may reflux.Nicotine & caffeine prevent closure of the entrance.Laying down increases reflux pressure.The PPI reduces acid and healing can reduce some of the symptoms, but nothing stops it completely
