A member asked:
Can food be up in your esophagus if you eat too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Food can reflux into your esophagus if you eat too much. The stomach acid can lower the pressure of the valve between the stomach and esophagus and food can reflux into the esophagus. Portion control is important if you feel this is happening. Smaller meals would be helpful.
