In the passage of stomach contents into the esophagus, between the esophagus and the stomach, there is a natural barrier formed by the lower esophageal sphincter that opens to allow the passage of ingested material into the stomach and, at the same time, prevents the natural passage gastric contents into the esophagus, when this mechanism fails frequently or continuously is when this condition occurs. This barrier mechanism fails when the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter is permanently low or more frequently when the relaxation of this sphincter occurs at a time when there is no progression of ingested material through the esophagus.
