RELATED ITEM(S)   
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common condition that often occurs without symptoms after meals. In some people, the reflux is related to a problem with the lower esophageal sphincter, a band of muscle fibers that usually closes off the esophagus from the stomach. If this sphincter doesn't close properly, food and liquid can move backward into the esophagus and may cause the symptoms.
Weakening of the the lower esophageal sphincter ( LES ) can be caused by the following factors and conditions:
  • Hiatal hernia - when the stomach and the LES protrude into the chest through the opening in the diaphragm normally occupied by the esophagus
  • Surgical destruction of the LES
  • Neurologic disorders or complications (from diabetes, for example) affecting the LES
  • Scleroderma, a disorder that affects esophageal motility
  • Congenital defects of the gastrointestinal or respiratory tracts
  • Certain medications, such as: Bronchodilators, Calcium channel blockers, Aminophylline, Nitrates, Sildenafil (Viagra)
Other factors that contribute to LES weakening include the following:
  • Smoking
  • Caffeinated beverages
  • Alcohol
  • Fatty foods, especially chocolate and fried foods

Once the LES is weakened, other factors, such as an increase in pressure in the abdomen relative to the chest, can increase the risk of reflux.
