| has gloss | eng: Acid indigestion (also known as Agita) is a type of indigestion. 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, some 85–95% of all stomach ulcers are caused by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, and not by excess acidity. Thus it is up to those who suffer from indigestion or heartburn to properly figure out if it is acidic or alkaline in nature. |
