Question

Our stomach contains hydrochloric acid. It helps us to digest food.
What will happen if the acid amount increases? Will it harm us?
If yes, how can we control it?

Answer 1

Dear student
Our stomach produces hydrochloric acid , some cells produces mucus lining, which protects stomach lining from acid. In conditions where acid amount increases, the stomach cells are affected by this acid, in some cases burning sensation or ulcers occurs.
Intake of adequate amount of water, taking antacids on consulting doctor generally controls the condition.
