Dr Tom Smith on acid reflux
Average rating:
'A frenetic lifestyle, for example snatching meals on the hoof, means that there are plenty of hours during the day where the stomach secretes acid and pepsin (a protein-digesting enzyme) into its cavity, but has no food to digest. This can erode both the stomach wall and the oesophagus above it, leading to acid reflux.'
