Es el ascenso de ácidos estomacales hacia el esófago durante la digestión, el cual produce ardor en la zona media del pecho, sabor agrio y sensación de que el alimento se regresa a la boca (regurgitar). En condiciones normales, el estómago produce ácido clorhídrico para digerir los alimentos. Sin embargo, esta sustancia puede ser excesiva si se consumen alimentos irritantes y muy condimentados, o si la persona afectada es muy nerviosa. 2, record 1, Spanish, - acidez%20estomacal
