The wall of the stomach secretes gastric juice which contains hydrochloric acid.Sometimes, for reasons not fully understood, the amount of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice goes up and the juice becomes more acidic.This can harm the stomach wall.It was believed till recently that the main causes of acidity are tension and worry.Now it is believed that a bacterium called heliobacter pylori, is responsible for infecting the stomach walls and causing acidity.Smoking, eating spicy food and fried dtuff hurts those with acidity.
Those suffering from acidity are advised to keep away from these things.
