indigestion or dyspepsia is caused when a stomach acid enters your gullet.
This is the hydrochloric acid.
Food enters the stomach from the oesophagus/gullet through a ring of muscle called a sphincter. Acid and protease (an enzyme) are then secreted into the stomach to start protein digestion. The muscular wall of the stomach also moves to cause the food to become a liquid called chyme (this is pronounced as kime).

The chewed food passes from our mouth to the oesophagus (gullet) . When it reaches our stomach the enzymes that are inside speed up the digestion process. This shows that a chemical reaction is taking place, when food is being digested. Later, the food passes from our stomach to other parts of our body and the things we ate before comes out when we excrete.
if there is too much acid in your stomach it bubbles up you oesaphagus (the tube from mouth to stomach ) and causes ingestion .
There is very strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It is a good experiment to see what happens to milk by adding strong hydrochloric acid.
the chemicals in the stomach are there to break down the food that enters, there are certain chemicals that stop the acid in the stomach burning the stomach walls and infecting your body.
The uncomfortable sensation of acid in the stomach is caused by the stomach's production of excess stomach acid, which can be triggered by factors such as stress, certain foods, or medical conditions like acid reflux or gastritis.
Potential causes of heartburn on an empty stomach include increased stomach acid production, irritation of the esophagus due to acid reflux, and a weakened lower esophageal sphincter that allows stomach acid to flow back up into the esophagus.
No, the acid causes more of a stomach ache.
Bicarbonate is the secretion that neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine. Bicarbonate is necessary because chyme is highly acidic. Bicarbonate is created in the pancreas.
