What is "reflux"?

Reflux is when liquid or in our stomach, namely acid alone or acid mixed with food contents, doesn't flow directly into the small intestine as it should but comes back up into the oesophagus, (what we call reflux back up into the oesophageal area) and as a result causes irritation and potentially damage to the lining of the oesophagus.
