When we eat and swallow our food it is allowed into the stomach area to be digested by the esophageal sphincter valve which should then close back up in order to stop the hydrochloric acid from escaping. It is when the esophageal sphincter doesn’t close after food has passed through that the stomach fluids try to escape upwards and that is why it is called acid reflux.
