Acid indigestion is a type of
indigestion involving an excess of
hydrochloric acid in the
stomach. Frequent occurrence of acid indigestion can lead to aggravation of the
duodenum or to an aggravation of the lining of the stomach, both of which can lead to
ulcers which can be life-threatening. However, it is important to note that some 85...95% of all stomach ulcers are caused by infection with the bacterium
Helicobacter pylori, and not by excess acidity.
