What is the pH in your stomach before taking an antacid tablet?

The pH in the stomach before taking an antacid tablet is typically between 1 and 2. This highly acidic environment is necessary for the proper digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients. However, it can also cause discomfort and irritation, leading to conditions such as gastritis and ulcers. Antacid tablets work by neutralizing stomach acid, raising the pH and providing relief from these symptoms.
