<<HOME <<Disease HOMEAcidityThese days one of the five people suffers from acidity. Acidity is an inequality between the abdomen and proximal intestine arrangement and makes sure their safety defensive mechanisms. The abdomen generally secretes acid that helps to smash down the food, but its surplus ion leads to acidity. Abdomen acidity causes different symptoms like heartburn, indigestion and erosion of the abdominal lining. In later stages, most of the cases provoke development of ulcers. Likewise, regular drinking of alcohol, highly spicy food, non-vegetarian diets turn up the acidity condition to gastric acidity. Abdomen acidity or hyperacidity situations are a general problem. If you ask the person sitting next to you in train or bus that is he/she had experienced attack of acidity. Chances are very high that he/she would reply you with a yes. Now question is, Why is this so? Actually our stomach generates acid to digest the foodstuff that we eat. This is a usual and natural procedure. Every time we eat, cells within the lining of the abdomen force acid to dissolve our foodstuff. Problem starts when these cells start producing excess of acid, more than our stomach requires. When this occurs, we will suffer from stomach or abdomen acidity. You would identify if you were suffering from acidity that time you feel a burning feeling just above the stomach, or right under (the void portion) your breastbone. This is the most common symptom of acidity. Some people also experience acid regurgitation. This happens when you are lying straight on your bed that time you may experience a sour flavour in your mouth, which feels like the taste of an orange juice that had gone rotten. Sometime acid regurgitation also results to heartburn, or pain near the heart.
