Stress, heavy meals or snacks, parties with a little too much to drink... our lifestyles tend to put a strain on the stomach, leading to heartburn and acid reflux. Trivial but annoying symptoms, they can really spoil everyday life. Let's take a look at some of these little gastric worries...
Acid reflux, heartburn... These are two typical symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD occurs when some of the acidic contents of the stomach back up into the esophagus. The stomach is lined with mucus to protect it from acidity, but the esophagus is unprotected: in the event of acid reflux, the sensations will be most unpleasant.
Maalox Reflux mint sugar-free sachet is indicated for heartburn, acid reflux (pyrosis) and heartburn.
These symptoms can occur, for example, after meals or during pregnancy, or when the esophagus is inflamed.

Heartburn is a widespread digestive disorder, regardless of age or gender. Everyone is subject to heartburn at least once in their lives. Although generally not serious, heartburn can sometimes considerably alter daily life, especially when aggravated by stress.
Heartburn often stems from "digestive stress".
Digestive stress refers to 2 types of stress whose repercussions are felt during digestion, and are generally grouped together in what are known as functional digestive disorders.
The combination of these factors can lead to digestive disorders in predisposed individuals, with manifestations in the liver, intestine, oesophagus or colon.
