heartburn causes
Normally, the diaphragm helps the LES keep acid from rising up into the esophagus. When a hiatal hernia is present, acid reflux can occur more easily. A hiatal hernia can occur in people of any age and is most often a normal finding in otherwise healthy people over age 50. Most of the time, a hiatal hernia produces no symptoms.
Other heartburn causes that may contribute to GERD include:
- obesity
- pregnancy
- smoking
Common foods that can worsen reflux symptoms include:
- citrus fruits
- chocolate
- Drinks with Caffeine or Alcohol
- Fatty and Fried Foods
- Garlic and Onions
- mint flavorings
- spicy foods
- Tomato-Based Foods, like Spaghetti Sauce, Salsa, Chili, and Pizza
