Ever wonder about those uncomfortable burning sensations or belching after meals?
What Is Heartburn? Heartburn happens when stomach acid—a strong digestive fluid—backs up into your esophagus. Your stomach is protected by a thick mucus layer, but the esophagus lacks this barrier. Normally, the junction between the stomach and esophagus stays closed, opening only briefly for food or drink to pass. When acid flows back up, it irritates the esophagus lining, often causing a burning pain behind the breastbone.
