Cause Of HeartburnHeartburn is caused by stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, the organ that connects the mouth to the stomach, also called gullet. Your food passes from your mouth down the esophagus to your stomach. A ringlike valve at the bottom of your esophagus, called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is the muscle between the esophagus and the stomach. When a person swallows, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxes during swallowing to allow food to pass from the esophagus to the stomach. It stays closed at other times to keep stomach contents from flowing back up into the esophagus. If the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) doesn't close or stays relaxed more frequently than normal, acid and food particles seep out of the stomach and up into the esophagus. This is called reflux. The stomach acid can irritate the esophagus. This is the cause of heartburn.Other Factors That May Cause Heartburn
