The typical person's stomach is very acidic, with an average ph range of between 1.5 and 3. It is activated by pepsin, an enzyme that is able to digest proteins in an acidic environment. Milk can be soothing to an upset stomach, because its acid level is low. However, many people find milk products difficult to digest.
