Hi,
In “LAX LES” the LES is a lower esophagal sphincter which is like a one-way valve which prevents the gastric juices from flowing back during digestion as the stomach add acid juices, as the stomach’s lining is capable of handling these strong acids and so as the esophagus.
Thus the incompetency of esophagus results in GERD known as a gastroesophageal reflux disease which has common symptoms like heartburn.
I suggest to avoid spicy food, nicotine, tomato sauce, peppermint and alcohol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
