A member asked:
Will a lax esophageal sphincter heal in time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lax LES: Try to avoid foods that can decrease LES pressure such as chocolate, coffee, tea, peppermint, fatty foods. Alcohol and tobacco can also lower LES pressure. Also avoid lying down with a full stomach. If nothing helps, there are surgical techniques that can work
