New Acid Reflux Theory

[Lager]

Some people are sure that acid reflux is a food related problem. You’re stuffing the wrong things into your stomach, and your stomach is taking it out on you. That’s the kind of thinking that does make a lot of logical sense, but it ignores a lot of what is actually going on in your body. Other explanations include problems with the lower esophagus or with the composition of stomach acids.

So what is the problem? In a new program called Rapid Reflux Relief, Nick O’Connor says none of these things are what’s really behind painful acid reflux. According to O’Connor, there’s a completely different suspect and it’s living in your stomach. It’s called H. Pylori—and it turns out that it creates a hostile environment inside the gut that results in an acid reflux backlash.

Isn't that the same bacteria that can cause abcesses?
Perhaps not very new?

No the bacteria is well known....WHO has it on it's list as a cancer causing bacteria.
It's the acid reflux connection that seems to be surprising....but yes not very new
