Answer:
Once you start eating, your body produces a strong gastric acid called hydrochloric acid, or HCL, to begin the process of stomach digestion. During this process, foods are broken down into very small particles of nutrients and other substances that can ultimately be absorbed through your intestinal walls and into your bloodstream. Normally, your body produces just the amount of HCL and other chemicals it needs for digestion, but, under certain conditions, you may produce more gastric acid than is necessary. At that point, you may have to change your diet or take medications that decrease the amount of active HCL in your stomach.
