It is usually not too high of acidity that causes acid reflux. Acid reflux is a product of a faulty cardiac sphincter, which allows the highly acidic chyme to flow back into the esophagus. Your esophagus is not protected from the acid like your stomach is with the stomach lining of mucus. The pH range of stomach acid is about 1.5-2, which is strong enough to dissolve iron nails.
