How does bile reflux affect my body?

Bile is composed of ingredients designed to digest fat. While it isn’t an acidic formula, it’s⁠ harsh on the sensitive linings of your stomach and esophagus. Chronic bile reflux can erode these protective linings, causing painful inflammation and, eventually, tissue damage (esophagitis). You’ll feel it as a burning kind of stomach ache, heartburn or sore throat, or as regurgitation of stomach contents into your esophagus. You may also have frequent nausea, indigestion or even bile vomit.
