Concentrated Hydrochloric acid is produced by the stomach to aid digestion and eliminate bacteria and fungi. There is a valve, the cardiac sphincter, that keeps the contents of the stomach from coming back up toward the mouth. If this valve malfunctions, the acidic content of the stomach moves into the oesophagus, causing the sensation known as heartburn.
