Why do you have stomach acid?

Gastric acid is due to increased secretion of gastric acid by the cells lining the stomach, which may be related to Helicobacter pylori infection, food stimulation, etc. The human body’s gastric acid secretion is continuous, its general state of the base secretion rate is about 10% of the maximum secretion rate, and is diurnal, peaks a few hours after going to sleep, and is lowest in the early morning before waking up. When food enters the stomach, it stimulates the gastric cells to begin secreting gastric acid. Gastric juice has a pH of about 7.0 to 7.2 when the stomach is fasting, and when food enters the stomach, the pH can drop to between 2 and 3. Therefore, in most cases stomach acid, mainly occurs after eating, when the secretion of stomach acid increases.
