At the top of the stomach where it connects to the esophagus is a sphincter. At the lower end of the stomach where it connects to the small intestines is a second sphincter. Both of these openings will open to let material pass through, then close to prevent back-flow. Acid Reflux occurs when stomach acids leak through the faulty sphincter and the acids irritate the esophagus.
