Acid reflux is a condition that affects the opening at the end of your esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES. The LES is a muscular opening that keeps food in your stomach and prevents it from refluxing, or moving backward, into the esophagus and throat. When the LES becomes weak or other wise malfunctions, chronic acid reflux can occur resulting in a condition called gastrointestinal reflux disease, or GERD. Acid reflux and GERD can cause symptoms like pain or burning in the upper stomach and lower chest area, hoarseness and sore throat. Proudman has applied to have the case, which is now due to be overseen by another judge who has yet to be named, struck out.

Spicy or fried foods and caffeinated or carbonated beverages can also cause acid reflux, and smoking can also contribute to acid reflux and the development of GERD.
