Dear lybrate user normally our stomach secrete hcl and is helpful for killing bacterias and digestion but when disorder comes this acid secretion becomes abnormal also there is a sphincter present at lower oesophagus where it joins the upper portion of stomach and due to its low nerve senstivity or proper nerve supply may become loose and result in reflux of food and acidity this all is the pathologic or crude eye view what is behind all this is susceptibility and tendency which needs to be cured by constitutional treatment for permanent cure, a palliative or suppressive treatment to neutralize acid is not the cure and may lead further aggravation or even suppression to a deeper level also some blame hpylori bacteria too for acidity but bacterias are always secondary the primary cause remains hidden inside and cannot be seen under a microscope at present.

It is not acidity rather its a misnomer actual term is hyperacidity since there is already acid present normally in the stomach and it is necessary for normal digestion, but when abnormally increased which can lead to burning sensation in stomach (heart burn) eructations gastric/peptic ulcers and is also called as" hurry curry worry syndrome" avoid hurried lifestyle, take balanced diet of non-chilly type, and avoid tension. Addictions must be avoided. Some medicines may be prescribed after a counseling session. Regards.
