its for my homework. I need help !! :/

they neutralise acid in the stomach for a couple of hours. Higher pH less reflux symptoms

Since you are honest and admit it for your homework (unlike a lot of people on here…)!

Antacids are alkalis and neutralize the acid. Just like your chemistry course work. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid and a typical antacid is magnesium carbonate.

HCl + MgCO3 = MgCl + CO2 + H2O (unbalanced equation)

Antacids do not relieve anything except hyper acidity

I get indigestion occasionally, and almost every time I get a lot of shaking, with nausea (and eventually vomiting if I don't take an antacid or something). If I vomit, all symptoms go away immediately and I feel better. Problem is, I don't _want_ to vomit because I hate that feeling! so, anyone with similar issues who knows a virtually guaranteed way to quell nausea quickly? I have an anti-nausea syrup but it tastes funky and takes 15 mins to a half-hour to work.

Try Ginger Tea. Take a slice of Ginger root, steep it in boiling water and sweeten to taste with honey. You can make ahead of time so that it is ready when needed.

I'd pay close attention to what triggers the indigestion and then be certain I avoid the trigger!

Add enzymes to your diet…I'm no expert "enzymologist" but they sure can help absorb and break down all of the food you intake…
