Concerning the condition of Acid Reflux,(heartburn) are the onset and symptoms of this condition attributed more to the Lower Esophageal Sphincter weakening, not being strong enough to return to a properly closed/sealed state after ingestion, or, could we attribute the on-set and symptoms more to muscle distension which would allow excessive or unused acidic content to force its way easily back into esophagus since the only direction unused acids can go if not down is up?
Also, since the brain controls the L.E.S. function,(I.e. regulates pressure to keep it closed, is there a possibility that a malfunctioning L.E.S. may be neuroligical in nature? Or, is there a possibility of the brain and LES not communicating properly.(i.e. LES sending inaccurate information to the brain, The brain sending incomplete instructions, or possibly the messages being distorted on their passage through the spinal cord? I was just curious, Thanks for your time..
