A member asked:
What is reasons for a sudden onslaught of acid reflux lasting about 5 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastritis, ulcer, ..: Assuming you're not female (hormones from periods & pregnancy can worsen reflux), anything that irritates the end of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine -- like ulcers, gastritis or duodenitis (irritation of the lining from acid, alcohol, h pylori [an infection], stress) can make the stomach not empty well. A very high-fat diet/alcohol can slow stomach emptying and allow reflux.
