Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
if acid not neutralised in stomach
Hydrochloric acid of the stomach would have a pH of ~ 2.
curd contain lactic acid so acid concentration increases so acidity increases
Well actually they reduce stomach acid and it raises the pH to reduce the acidity in the stomach. It also relieves heartburn.
Yes, it can increase the acidity within the stomach triggering symptoms of reflux.
Yes, if you have high acidity and sometimes not enough acid in the stomach. The next time you are in to see your doctor please ask him/her about it.
Antacids commonly contain ions such as calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), or aluminum (Al3+) to reduce acidity in the stomach. These ions bind to excess stomach acid, neutralizing it and reducing the overall acidity of the stomach.
In our stomach the acidity level (pH) is between 1-2.
In our stomach the acidity level (pH) is between 1-2.
The only acid that I know in the stomach is: Gastric Acid(Which is made up of Hydrochloric Acid.)
As part of the process of digestion, the stomach secretes a strong acid, hydrochloric acid. Sometimes there is too much acid or too little acid, or the acid doesn't remain in the stomach and travels up the esophagus (which is called acid reflux) and any of these things can cause painful problems for the person to whom it happens. The sensation of excess stomach acidity is also (misleadingly) called heartburn. It does not involve the heart.
The doctors usually advise people with acidity not to remain on empty stomach. It is because the people with acidity tend to have higher amount of acid content in their stomach... If they continue being with the empty stomach then they tend to get affected from ulcer.... So people with acidity should never stay with an empty stomach...
