People who practice yoga sometimes stand upside down. Does the food and the digestive juices in their digestive system move out of the body through the mouth? Why or why not?

No, the food and the digestive juices in their digestive system do not move out of the body through the mouth.
They stay in the stomach.
The food does not come back up, once it goes inside the stomach because there are muscle fibers in the lower oesophagus that stop the food from rushing up.

When people practice Yoga and sometimes turn upside down, the body is also adaptable to such situations with various functions that occur simultaneously to prevent the flow of food and digestive juices out of the body.
The stomach has a part called esophaegal sphincter and this is closed as the person turns upside down.
