FAQ

What causes indigestion?

Indigestion is when acid from your stomach irritates your stomach lining or throat. This is called acid reflux. This can be caused or made worse by certain foods and drinks.

What causes Heartburn?

Heartburn occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach, known as the oesophagus. When food is swallowed, a band of muscle around the bottom of the oesophagus relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into the stomach. With heartburn, your stomach acid comes back up and causes an uncomfortable sensation.
