What do antacids do to your stomach acids?

It depends on the actual product, but the reaction you get and the relief you should feel will not be instant. If you are looking for relief that will help you right away, rather than having to first digest and process something, then use a liquid.

Something like Gingera or Brioschi antacid is in an effervescent liquid format. Just pour some into water, watch it fizz and it begins to work right away rather than having to wait for a pill or tablet to fist breakdown in your system.

THe nice part of Brioschi and Gingera is that they are both all natural, so you won't be adding more chemicals to the acidic off balance in your stomach.

I think the previous answer would be fine if this weren't listed in "Chemistry". So, I propose an additional answer:

Cells in your stomach secrete HCl (hydrochloric acid) at a concentration of about 0.155 M. When this acid is in excess, a base (alkaline) substance may be used to neutralize the acid in an acid-base reaction. Common antacids or indigestion tablets use a carbonate or hydroxy paired with a metal like calcium, magnesium, or aluminum. A common compound is Calcium Carbonate CaCO3.

The resulting reaction is as follows:

2HCl + CaCO3 ----> H2O (water) + CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) + CaCl (harmless form of salt)

Other antacids such as Milk of Mangnesium contain... well... magnesium and use the hydroxide base to neutralize acid. The reaction is as follows:

2HCl + Mg(OH)3 -----> 2H2O (water) + MgCl2 (another harmless salt)

What foods exit the stomach the quickest?

What is the explanation of eating so much without getting the stomach full?

Technically, the brain tells you when you are "full". The stomach is elastic and can stretch to massive sizes before it actually bursts. Your brain should signal you to stop eating well before this happens.

There is a condition that effects 1 in 32 million people that prevents this signal from being issued by the brain. These people are in a constant state of hunger even after eating massive amounts of food and must be monitored at all times to prevent them from eating themselves to death.

No. Antacids neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It is a chemical change.

Stomach pump and respiratory arrest if someone was intubated because they had stopped breathing could you also put a tube down them to pump their stomach at same time meaning TWO tubes at same time?

Yes this is an option that is available. When using an airway device referred to as a Combitube you can provide airway management, artificial breathing, and access to the stomach.(for pumping it) The combitube is simply two tubes glued together that gets stuffed down the throat.

The only caveat for pumping the stomach is that the holes in the combitube are somewhat small and no chunks bigger than about half a green pea would fit.

This is all assuming that you purposely placed the combitube into the esophagus instead of the trachea.

Could you be feeling stomach pains 5 days after conception?

Its very unlikely. It takes 14 days AFTER sex until your body realizes its actually pregnant. So symptoms will occur 2-8 weeks after conception not 3 days after.

It is possible though. Once fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg remains in the fallopian tube for 3 days. It then enters the uterus where it gets very close to the endometrium (lining of the uterus) and begins to invade this endometrium to implant. You can feel implantation cramping usually 6 to 10 days after ovulation. However it can happen a few days earlier or later.

What cause bloating?

Bloat is the inability to remove gases (through belching) from the stomach. This is often a result in gorging on too much grain, or high protein feeds such as alfalfa or clover. Gas will continue to build up expanding the stomach and putting pressure on major organs such as the lungs.
