Acid reflux is when stomach acids rise into the esophagus and burn the walls. The stomach can bear the harsh acids because the stomach is lined with walls that protect the other organs. Some people get ulcers which are holes in the stomach's lining (very painful) :( If the stomach acids make their way too far to the top of the esophagus the walls of the esophagus are burned because they do not have protective lining walls mostly because acid is not meant to be there! :) hope this helped
