The condition is caused by not spicy foods but the acidic stomach content passing by the esophageal sphincter in to the esophagus where unprotected tissue in the lower esophagus and esophageal sphincter is damaged. If this condition is allowed to occur over and over again, the esophageal sphincter will eventually be unable to protect the esophagus from damaging acidic stomach content. This will allow you to fall victim to the unpleasant “heart burn†symptoms chronically.
