2. The plumber’s number one mistake: overfilling and the 80% rule
Let’s start with an approach based on fluid dynamics, or more simply, plumbing. Why does this valve open when it shouldn’t? Besides a hiatal hernia, a very common reason is bloating and distension of the stomach, with internal pressure doing the rest. The stomach is an elastic muscle, but it has its limits. If you eat until you’re full, gastric distension increases internal pressure. This pressure can overcome the valve’s resistance. It’s a simple matter of physics: pressure always seeks a way out.
