Sometimes people complain about having an “acid stomach”.The substance in the indigestion tablet is calcium carbonate.
A: Hcl Acid + Ca CO3= lower HclAcid. Best i can do.
Q: What percentage of what’s in a person’s stomach is acid?
I’m doing a science project and I need to know how much vinegar to use. The vinegar represents hydrochloric acid (stomach acid).
Thanks!

Q: Remedies for acid stomach that help arthritis pain?
My arthritis in shoulder, elbow & hands is more painful when I have acidic stomach. This occurs mostly if I eat meat , apart from Gaviscon medicine is there a quick fix, like lemon juice ? Any suggestions welcome. I am a believer that diet helps arthritis, I avoid too many painkillers and I try to avoid eating meat.
A: I answered your other question. try the milk or dry bread for tonight, make sure you are taking anti-inflammatory pills for the arthritis, if you have run out…crank up the heating for tonight so that you are warm and comfy.
Dont drink anything acidic……….that will only make things worse. leave the Lemons alone.
Q: what to do to neutralize the acid stomach?
I think I have a little bit high acid in my stomach, and I want to neutralize it to balance out my body so I can gain wt…b/c I am underweight and thanks
A: Two questions in one,is the acid stomach ongoing after every meal,or infrequent?Is the stool black at times?I would have it checked once by doctor to rule out bleeding ulcer or growth in the stomach (very unlikely).Use antacids (Maalox,Mylanta,Tums) lightly until checked for instant relief and hold off acid-blockers until seen.Underweight warrants a visit to MD/nutritionist as well.

A: try over the counter zantac. or some liquid mylanta.
Q: What is the substance in antacids that soothes ur heartburn or acid stomach?
A: Reading my tums now: Calcium Carbonate 750 mg
Calcium carbonate is a base, (thus neutralizes acids). I’m guessing the calcium is there as opposed to any other spectator ion because its calcium enriched.
Q: Can iced tea cause acid stomach? Is decaf tea any better about being acid?
It’s summer and I’m drinking a good bit of iced tea (black iced tea). I’m also getting an acid stomach in the evening. Tea has a ph of 4.9 which is fairly acid. Is decaf (black) tea any less acid?
A: You should switch to decaffeinated if you suffer from acid stomach. My mom has the same problem. She switched and has less problems with acid reflux.
Q: How effective is stomach acid in killing bacteria, viruses and other germs?
How effective is stomach acid in killing bacteria, viruses and other germs? Are there certain bacteria or viruses that stomach acid cannot kill? And if so, what effect do they have on our body?
A: Although the acid is strong enough to kill most bacterai and inactivate viruses, the presence of food and liquids dilute the acid, coats the microbes and protects the cells and viruses against the acids and digestive enzymes. One bacteria associated with ulcer formation, secretes chemicals that neutralize the acids.
The fact that a number of infectious diseases are transmitted through food and water indicates microbes have adapted well to the hostile conditions of the digestive tract. Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, Escherichia, polio virus, Norwalk viruses all can survive in the intestinal tract.
Q: Why do I burp stomach acid and it takes my breath away while sleeping?
When I am sleeping, sometimes I will burp in my sleep and stomach acid will come up but what happens is that it takes my breath away, I can not breath for a bout 10 seconds until it kinda clears out. Why?
A: Sounds like acid reflux. Sometimes you can regurgitate fluid into the lungs when acid backs up while sleeping. See your doctor or try using medication like Pepsid Complete for the reflux. You might want to rethink your diet too and avoid eating late or spicy foods,etc.
Q: Is more Hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach in the presence of proteins and fats?
I thought maybe since proteins and fats take longer to digest than carbohydrates, more HCl will be produced by the stomach to digest them?
Please tell me if i’m right or wrong and explain why!
Thanks! 
A: HCl is also secreted in response to gastric distention (=when food gets into the stomach and dilates it). It does have a major role in digestion, as it lowers the gastric pH so that the enzymes have the suited environment to get activated. When tactile receptors sense the presence of food in the stomach, several hormones are released into the circulation, influencing the HCl secretion. For example, the G cells release gastrin when amino acids and peptides (products of protein digestion) are present on the luminal surface, which stimulates the acid secretion, whereas fat solutions that reach the duodenum an jejunum inhibit it.
Q: How much acid necessary for stomach acid experiment?
I’m doing an experiment involving in the effects on pH in stomach acid when liquids are mixed in. Would i need the exact amount of acid for each “stomach” or can i go less on each of them?
A: Mabye you find the answers on google. Good luck

Q: What to use as acid in the science project “Which antacid neutralizes the most stomach acid?”?
I am entering the science fair and want to experiment “Which antacid neutralizes the most stomach acid?”
What would I use as the acid?
A: Hydrochloric Acid is the primary acid in the stomach. It’s also sold commercially as muriatic acid
Q: Does morning sickness feel like stomach acid creeping up in your throat all the time?
This week when I bend over or for no reason at all stomach acid creeps up in the back of my throat. Saturday I woke up in the middle of the night with my throat on fire. I have a pretty strong stomach and managed to not get sick, but I feel like it was always a possibility. Did anyone else get this?
A: that’s heartburn, not morning sickness. they say that if u get a lot of heartburn during pregnancy that mean ur baby will have lots of hair. i had really bad heartburn during my first trimester, so it is normal, just pack up on anti acid pills like Rolaids or Tums and drink lots of water
ps. do not drink milk or eat b4 bed, it gives u more heartburn, trust me, i’ve had heartburn for over 7 years now. try using 2 pillows to keep ur head up, that’s one of the best ways besides pills, once i got pregnant and got heartburn more than usual, i started using 2 pillows, haven’t woken up from heartburn ever since.
