Warning Signs Of Achlorhydria

Acid Reflux

In acid reflux, stomach acids move backward into the esophagus. It is generally caused by a lower esophageal sphincter that is weak or otherwise does not work properly, which is common when talking about achlorhydria. The lower esophageal sphincter is a circular muscle between the esophagus and stomach, and it is supposed to tighten the lower esophagus after food reaches the stomach. Heartburn is the most common indicator of acid reflux. Other symptoms of acid reflux include a sour taste in the mouth or at the back of the throat, coughing, sore throat, and a feeling of pressure paired with a burning sensation that extends up the breastbone.
