Is something wrong with your digestive system if your stomach is reasonably flat but the second you eat it turns into a pot belly and what can you do about this?
You may have a lactose intolerance problem. If your body does not produce lactase your digestive system will not adequately process milk and can give you quit a bit of gas. Also bloating and a pot belly are symptoms of Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance). If you look into Celiac disease and find you have a lot of symptoms you should get tested by your doctor. Then if you are Celiac you must completely avoid gluten. You can also be gluten intolerant and not have CD, which could be causing the pot belly. A gluten free diet should get rid of it.

Stomach PH level?
The stomach contains hydrochloric acid, which has a pH of generally 1-3. These optimal pH levels must be present in order for pepsin (a protein-digesting enzyme) to function. If the pH is not acidic, pepsin will only be present in its inactive form, pepsinogen, and protein digestion will effectively occur. Uhh.. hope that's what you were looking for. The second part is just a bit more detail as to why the pH of stomach is important.
