This closing prevents the food in the stomach from backing up. When the sphincter becomes weak or relaxed, food can re-enter the esophagus. Some people may experience burning after eating certain foods or drinking certain beverages. People's triggers can vary, but in general, it is best to avoid heavy, sweet, and fatty foods. Exercising to lose excess fat around the mid-section is also effective.</span></span></div>
