What happens if you have too much stomach acid?

Excessive stomach acid is a common problem, but we all know that this phenomenon is also very harmful to health. It can easily cause patients to suffer from frequent acid reflux or heartburn. It is recommended to eat more alkaline foods, such as soda crackers or bread.

1. Acid reflux: Acidic contents in the stomach flow back, often due to excessive gastric acid secretion, more common in functional dyspepsia

2. Heartburn: The reflux of acidic contents in the stomach stimulates the esophageal mucosa and produces a burning sensation behind the sternum. It is more common in functional dyspepsia,

3. It is not good to drink milk or soy milk when you have heartburn . Although milk and soy milk can temporarily dilute gastric acid, the calcium protein they contain will stimulate gastric acid secretion, so it is not advisable to drink too much.
