Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a digestive disorder. It’s caused when gastric acid from your stomach flows back up into your food pipe (esophagus). Heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD.

Detailed explanation-2: -GERD: The most common esophageal disorder occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t close properly. As a result, stomach acid and contents flow backward into your esophagus. Achalasia: The lower esophageal sphincter doesn’t open or relax, preventing food from going into the stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -A band of muscle fibers, the lower esophageal sphincter, closes off the esophagus from the stomach. If the sphincter does not close properly, food and liquid can move backward into the esophagus and cause heartburn and other symptoms known as gastroesophageal disease (GERD).
