What mechanisms prevent gastric reflux into the esophagus when lying down or bending over?

Gastro oesophageal reflux is a condition where the acidic content of the stomach regurgitates back into the oesophagus. The distal oesophageal mucosa is non glandular in type (it is squamous epithelium), therefore, it can easily be damaged by chronic acid reflux.To prevent this, there are several mechanisms in place:The lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) is tonically active but relaxes on swallowing. The tonic activity of the LOS between meals prevents reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus.The prominent smooth muscle of the lower oesophagus acts as a internal phincter to prevent reflux.The right crus of the diaphragm which surrounds the oesophagus exerts a pinch-cock like action on the oesophagus to prevent reflux (external sphincter).The oblique or sling fibers of the stomach wall create a flap valve that helps close off the esophagogastric junction and prevent regurgitation when intragastric pressure rises.Another factor that helps to prevent reflux is a valvelike mechanism of a short portion of the esophagus that extends slightly into the stomach. Increased intra-abdominal pressure caves the esophagus inward at this point. Thus, this valvelike closure of the lower esophagus helps to prevent high intra-abdominal pressure from forcing stomach contents backward into the esophagus.

Post Surgery Dumping Gastric Bypass Syndrome?

Health problems can sometimes occur following Gastric Bypass surgery. One of the most common problems is Dumping Syndrome. Dumping Gastric Bypass occurs when the patient's stomach empties too quickly and food enters the small intestine undigested. Symptoms of early dumping after Gastric Bypass include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, dizziness, bloating and fatigue. While symptoms of late dumping include weakness, dizziness and sweating. In order to prevent Dumping Syndrome, Gastric Bypass patients should eat small meals that are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. Medications can also be given to slow the digestive process, if necessary.
