The stomach typically secretes Acid that is key in the digestive procedure and aids in separating the nourishment acid absorption. Regularly, there are some defensive instruments against the acid, in the stomach and proximal digestive tract. An irregularity between the defensive instruments and the level of acid discharge can cause corrosiveness or acidity.

The human stomach contains gastric glands that secrete a hydrochloric acid which is necessary for the digestion of foods. When the stomach contains an excessive amount of hydrochloric acid, then the condition is called as hyperacidity or acid dyspepsia. The level of acids in the human stomach is generally controlled; but for some reason, the level of acids increases beyond the normal levels and results in hyperacidity. The stomach is equipped with these acids in order to be able to digest the food. The acids are released when foods enter the stomach. However, some foods are difficult to digest than the others. For such foods, the stomach needs to secrete more acids. Continuous secretions of such acids could lead to hyperacidity in the stomach. This excessive production of acids could be made higher due to various factors. Acidity commonly presents as heartburn in the chest or the heart region and dyspepsia.
