(Submit Articles) Acidity is provoked by a surplus secretion of acid by gastric glands from the stomach. It is well known the fact that the acid secreted by our stomach is very necessary for a normal digestive process because this acid produces different digestive enzymes (pepsin for example) that break complex particles of food in elements that can be digested by our body. If the quantity of acid is more than usually, we feel an immense heartburn and we have the sensation that out threat is inflamed. Formation of dyspepsia and ulcers are other symptoms of acidity.
The acidity is also provoked by consumption of NSAID's (non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), alcohol, and very spicy food because these trigger the acid formation.
