- Hiatal Hernia:
- The upper part of the stomach has herniated through the diaphragm.
- The stomach then has two chambers, one inside the abdominal
cavity and the other in the thoracic cavity.
- This causes gastric acid to be regurgitated back up into the esophagus.
- The gastric contents move in the wrong direction at the right rate.
