Why does excessive amount of spicy food causes acidity

Answer»

Hi,

Here's the answer:-

It is not that only spicy food CAUSES acidity. Sweet food ALSO causes acidity.

Here's the reason :-

There is a sphincter muscle between the stomach and foodpipe. When we eat food, the stomach secretes HYDROCHLORIC acid to break it down and the acid fills the stomach FULLY. This sphincter muscle PREVENTS the backflow of the acid. However, in some people, the muscle doesn't work properly and hence, a particular amount of the acid flows through the foodpipe, causing a burning sensation, which we call acidity.


I hope you got it :-)
