ed84c Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Why doesnt eating a lot of food dilute stomache acid rather than inducing acid heartburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 well eating alot of food simply fills the cavity (our stomach) leaving little room for the HCl. after mastacation (chewing) the food then enters the stomach, part of it`s job is to move around ensuring a good mix of acid and peptic enzyme throught the product. if your stomach is too full, the movement can result in limited reverse peristalsis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 In this context, the wave of muscular contraction that moves food through parts of the digestive tract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I could have said vomit or partial vomit, but figured that may have been a bit too gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
