When these foods are eaten, the acid collects, irritates the walls of the stomach, and causes the food to ferment while it is digesting. This fermenting food also gives off gas which distends the stomach, causing that full, uncomfortable feeling so often noticed after eating. The rodt of. the trouble is tire acid fermentation. To successfully prevent the fermentation, this acidity must be neutralised, and for this purpose ordinary bisurated magnesia has been found most valuable.
