Reflux into esoph: The swallowing tube (esophagus) enters the stomach below the lower breast bone. Sometimes food and acid washes back into the esophagus after entering the stomach. The result is burning and gas (belching) and perhaps nausea. Gravity plays a role in this and remaining upright until stomach empties prevents it. Antacids generally provide relief.
