Science Homework Help. Hialeah High School Use of Antacids to Reduce Stomach Acid Discussion

As the contents of the stomach move into the small intestine, cells produce bicarbonate (HCO31-) that neutralizes the gastric acid until the pH is about 5. Where do you stand on using antacids to neutralize the excess stomach acid? Why?
