eli5 why plain water causes reflux?

405 viewsBiologyOther

sometimes when I drink plain water (nothing added like cordial, lemon/lime etc) I will get the worst reflux/heartburn feeling. Sometimes it feels like water is still sitting in my throat. Why does this happen?

It could be that your body senses you drink the water and it activates the digestive process. This increases the acid production and in turn, the reflux.
