Most likely...: Do the 'sugary foods' you're eating have anything else in common? High fat? Citrus? Tomatoes? Caffeine? All of these food elements can allow stomach acid to back up into the esophagus much more easily. Talk with your doctor; they may suggest trying an over the counter proton pump inhibitor -- a powerful acid blocker like Prevacid (lansoprazole) or prilosec. Good luck!

Pain in lower esophagus as food passes through. Acid reflux when sleeping. Sitting up helps. Certain foods are a problem. Food takes long to digest. Feels like something sore inside the path that the food goes through?
