Q: Is the stomach normally acid? How do you know when there is too much acid down there?
Television commercials portray the “acid stomach” as needing immediate ROLAIDS. Is the stomach normally acid? How do you know when there is too much acid down there?
A: yes ur stomach is normally acidic… the stomach releases several enzymes that mix together to make an acidic solution. normally this isnt a problem because of a mucosal lining that protects ur stomach. if there is a break in this or too much acid, trust me u will know…. it will hurt lol
Q: Whats is a word equation to show how an indiegestion tablet nutralises the stomach acid?
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!
A: continualy added // for neutralizing stomac acid a cap 1/2 full,, not the potent vinegar speas 1/2 of one percent 0.500 3% rough not recommended for drink
Q: Acid stomach and mild pain when stomach is empty?
For the last 6 month I seemed to have developed acid stomach. It especially attacks when my stomach is empty. I always have to keep some food in my stomach to avoid an attack. I am also generally have blood sugar issues and need to eat often. I pee a lot and drink a lot of liquids. My grandmother had diabeties and I am worried that I have it too. I have an appointment with my doctor in a couple of weeks but I am concerned. Anybody know what this is?
A: I believe you have acid reflux disease. If you do have diabetes you may or may not it doesn’t affect stomach acid!
Diabetes Symptoms
* Frequent urination
* Excessive thirst
* Unexplained weight loss
* Extreme hunger
* Sudden vision changes
* Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
* Feeling very tired much of the time
* Very dry skin
* Sores that are slow to heal
* More infections than usual.
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: What prevents stomach acid from entering into the small intestine?
If my stomach is full of acid whats keeping the acid from leaving my stomach and going into my intestines like gravity would intend?
A: The acid does go into your intestines. The pH of the stomach contents is measured inside the intestines, and a hormone known as Secretin is released. Secretin stimulates the release of Sodium Bicarbonate from the pancreas, neutralizing the acid from your stomach.
Q: What foods can i take from low stomach acid to high stomach acid?
Dear all,
I have bad breath problem from mouth for last 3 years. After knowing the articles, i understood that It might be happened by
LOW stomach acid. I want to get HIGH stomach acid.So,
what foods can I take to INCREASE my stomach acid from low stomach acid.
which foods should not take and which should i take for relieving from low stomach acid.
Thanks a lot. Have a nice weak end.
A: FIRST CLEANSE YOUR STOMACH with , cremalax tablet one tablet after dinner for two days
Start eating curd and fibre- rich food, avoid boiled egg.
Q: What are the health benefits of reducing stomach acid?
I recently suspected I was developing an ulcer, and my doctor gave me a prescription of an acid reducing medication. Immediately, my nausea and headaches went away, but also I feel like my digestion is better and have pretty much stopped having diarrhea as well.
How else did too much stomach acid negatively affect my health, and what other benefits could I experience?
Okram: nope. Because I wasn’t experiencing any pain (only nausea), he said to try the acid reducers for a month first.
A: Excessive acid production can erode the lining of your esophagus and over time cause lacerations called strictures. These can cause esophageal cancer, which is difficult to treat. Treating this with acid reducers called proton pump inhibitors (e.g. Nexium) is the best way to cut acid production. These should only be used as long as your physician recommends. The benefits will include healing of any erosions on your esophagus and healing of ulcers. Your doctor did test you for H. pylori infection though, didn’t he?
Q: when you are mixing hydrochloric acid with water to create simulated stomach acid, what is the accurate pH?
when you are mixing hydrochloric acid with water to create simulated stomach acid, what pH do you need the solution to be, to be accurate? i read that stomach acid has a pH of 2-4, but i also read that Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid at a pH of 1, which means that it is at
a concentration of 0.1 moles/liter. so what pH should i dilute my final solution to?
A: The secretions from the wall of the stomach have a pH of between 0.8 and 1. This is a very corrosive level of acidity which would normally destroy tissue cells. Although the stomach wall is protected by a layer of mucus that prevents contact with the cells themselves, it would be a little risky to have that level of acidity persisting continually in the stomach.
In practice, during digestion, the stomach will contain liquids ingested by mouth. It will also have other substances such as proteins which buffer the acidity at a higher level. These factors will reduce the actually average acidity to around pH 2 -4 depending on how much additional water and other stomach contents have been ingested.
I would use a pH of 2 -4 , say 3, as being the normal average pH or maybe 2 if you want to simulate the conditions at the very start of the digestive process.
Take care using concentrated HCl !!!
Q: Do Hydrochloric acid supplements really work for low stomach acid?
Whats better, the tablet or the capsule? One of the side effects of low stomach acid is itchy anus, what causes this?
A: Yes, that’s exactly what it’s designed for. Hydrochloric Acid is the equivalent of stomach acid, so taking it at the end of the meal would be just like if your stomach released more acid to digest your food.
A capsule vs tablet is entirely personal preference. Most people tend to prefer capsules because they dissolve quicker and are easier to swallow.
I haven’t personally heard of low stomach acid being an itchy anus, but it makes sense. If you have low stomach acid, your food won’t all digest properly, so the undigested food would come out of the anus, which could irritate it more than feces.
Oh, and the reason it’s called a “supplement” is that it’s taken in addition to your diet… it is “supplementing” your food and what’s already in your diet, not being a sole source of it. Your stomach already has Hydrochloric Acid in it, so you’re just adding to it. It’s the very definition of supplementing.
Q: What volume of stomach acid is there within the stomach?
Does anybody know the volume of stomach acid within the stomach, what concentration it is (moles per decimetres cubed) and the approximate pressure acting on it from within the body (I assume the diapraghm contraction/relaxing cycle increases and decreases pressure on organs below it).
Thanks.
In an average sized stomach.
In an average stomach, not in specific ones.
A: there really is no average… what do you need to know this for, school? because this is kind of a bad question. stomach acid is always in flux. it constantly changes. acid increases when you are hungry, upon the sight or smell of food, or when food actually enters the stomach. it can decrease when the acid and food mixture is moved from the stomach to the small intestine. there is literally no time when someone would take a measurement of acid in the stomach and assume it is an average. the capacity of the average human stomach is about 1 quart. stomach acid is primarily Hydrochloric acid at a molarity of about 0.16M
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: How can you tell if you have overproduction of stomach acid versus low stomach acid?
I’ve heard that they share many of the same symptoms. Are there some symptoms that are unique to each? Also can you still have acid reflux if you have low stomach acid? (Sources would be appreciated.) Thanks.
A: Yep, teaspoon of vinegar will ease the low acid burn.
Eat, less gassy foods, like onions, ect.
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
