"Let's see...it is not the amount of acid contained at the stomach that is important, that will depend upon many local factors, even the stomach size concerned. What is important is the acidity of the gastric juice. A healthy stomach has an acidity level (pH) between 1-2, that is around one million times more acid than pure water. The digestive process takes place as food passes through the mouth, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. At the stomach, the
gastric acid helps to break down proteins for further digestion at the small intestine. "

your stomach makes acid, it is used to break down and digest your food. different things cause "too much acid" to be made, things like stress, or spicy foods or allergies, it depends on the individual.
