Answer

For almost everyone, acid reflux is due to the their stomach acid not being acidic enough, as strange as that may sound. Our stomach acid pH is supposed to be 1.3-2, extremely acidic.

The esophageal sphincter (Beavis n Butthead chuckle) can’t shut all the way if our stomach acid isn’t acidic enough, hence reflux
