Under normal conditions, the stomach is protected from its own acid by a thick layer of mucus lining the stomach wall.

Acidity occurs when the valve (sphincter) between the stomach and the food pipe does not function properly. This allows stomach acid to flow back into the upper part of the food pipe, leading to a burning sensation known as heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane from the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo Omeprazole Gastro-resistant Capsules IP 20 mg affect laboratory test reports?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
