Understanding Acidity: Causes and Misconceptions

I wrote – Asmaa Morsi

Acidity is one of the disorders of the digestive system, and it occurs as a result of gastric reflux and secretions outside the stomach, which results in heartburn, a feeling of discomfort, and a burning sensation in the chest.

In this regard, Dr. Hossam Mowafi, Professor of Critical Cases at Kasr Al-Ainy College of Medicine, revealed that acidity is a symptom, not a disease, and there is an unhealthy way that many people commit to treat acidity symptoms.

Mowafi continued, during his presentation of the program “My Lord, Increase Me Knowledge” broadcast on “Sadi Al-Balad” channel: “Treatment of acidity by drinking soft drinks is wrong, as it does not treat acidity, but rather increases its symptoms, because it contains an amount of caffeine.”

He added: “It also causes soft drinks to cause flatulence.”
