if acid not neutralised in stomach
Hydrochloric acid of the stomach would have a pH of ~ 2.
A base or a basic salt that neutralises the stomach acidity is called an antacid.
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.
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...
