The human stomach is filled with a naturally produced acidic liquid that is capable of dissolving a wide variety of consumed foods. This acid is incredibly strong; it has to be strong to effectively process food so that the intestines can absorb the vitamins and nutrients necessary for healthy function. However, excess stomach acid can cause severe problems and painful symptoms. The most common symptom associated with excess stomach acid is heartburn. Heartburn is actually a misnomer: the heart itself is not burning. Instead, excess acid leaks into the esophagus and causes a burning sensation near where the heart is located.
Consistent heartburn and acid reflux can cause severe damage to the sensitive tissue of the esophagus and throat. Dealing with excess stomach acid is possible and individuals can follow some basic steps to help regulate the pH levels of their stomach contents.
