	Acid indigestion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		It should be distinguished from heartburn, which typically involves aggravation of the esophagus.

		Acids in the stomach help the body digest food -- however, in some cases, these acids can "reflux" or back up into the esophagus, thus causing the burning sensation of indigestion.
