What is the acidity of stomach acid?

Since last few months, I've been having a lot of acidity problems after meals. My friends say it's because my stomach acid is too strong. Just wondering, actually, what is the normal acidity level for stomach acid?

Stomach acid is very, very acidic, around pH 1.5 to 3.5. It's strong to break down food. If you're having issues like severe heartburn or indigestion, try some simple home remedies first, but if it persists, please see a doctor. You don't want to mess with your stomach lining.

Betaji, your stomach acid is naturally very strong, like a strong cleanser, with a pH around 1.5 to 3.5. That's how it digests everything! Sometimes if you eat too much or too quickly, it feels like it's coming up. Don't worry, it's normal, but eat simple and on time.

It's incredibly acidic, generally a pH of 1.5 to 3.5. This kind of acidity sounds terrifying if it gets out of control, right? That's why managing acid reflux is so important. If you feel burning a lot, please consult a gastroenterologist. Don't ignore it like I almost did.

Our stomach acid is quite acidic, roughly pH 1.5 to 3.5. It's meant to break down food. If you feel too much acidity, maybe try eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoid very spicy food. For persistent problems, a doctor visit is a simple and workable solution.

Wow, stomach acid is super strong! I read somewhere it's usually between a pH of 1.5 to 3.5. That's why it can dissolve so much stuff. Pretty wild how our bodies work, right? Just trying to understand how digestion happens.
