Most people will suffer with acid reflux at some point in their lives, whether by eating certain foods that trigger the condition or having a sensitivity to it.
What many are unaware of though, is that suffering with acid reflux for a number of years increases a person's risk of Barrett's oesophagus, which could eventually develop into oesophageal cancer.
Oesophageal cancer is the 14th most common cancer in the UK with around 9,300 new cases each year.
