Why does Heartburn feel like it does?

The acidic contents of the stomach getting up to the lower esophagus are causing the sensation of heartburn. This occurs mostly after having large meals, bending or lying down immediately after a meal. An unbalanced diet that’s consisting of many foods that contain preservatives, chemical colorants and generally GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are major factors to the heartburn symptoms.
