Sub-Conditions
The esophagus is the "food tube" connecting the throat to the stomach. A valve at the end opens and closes to control the movement of food and liquids into the stomach and to protect the esophagus from a back wash of the stomach's natural digestive acids. Heartburn occurs when the value doesn't work properly. Click below to learn more about the acid reflux of heartburn and other conditions of the esophagus.
