Why is it like that when I drink orange juice, my stomach hurts
659 2017-04-15 Gentleman
Orange juice is strong in acid (about pH 2.5), so drinking it can cause heartburn.
Since the acidity of the stomach acid is about pH 1, it is normal to not have heartburn with orange juice.
Still, there are people who have heartburn because their stomachs are broken and if orange juice enters, the stomach acid secreted with orange juice touches the area.
