Bile reflux, which occurs when bile — a digestive fluid produced in the liver — flows upward (refluxes) from the small intestine into the stomach and esophagus.
Bile reflux often accompanies acid reflux, and together they're a formidable team, inflaming the lining of the esophagus and potentially increasing the risk of esophageal cancer. Bile reflux also affects the stomach, where it causes further inflammation.
Unlike acid reflux, bile reflux usually can't be controlled by changes in diet or lifestyle. Instead, bile reflex is most often managed with certain medications or, in severe cases, with surgery. Neither solution is uniformly effective, however, and some people continue to experience bile reflux even after treatment.

Bile Reflux occurs when bile- a digestive fluid produced in the liver flows upward from the small intestine into the stomach and esophagus. Bile reflux accompanies acid reflux and may cause cancer in time. Currently there are drugs that can be taken for it.
