Gut rot and acidity

You ever ingest something that's too acidic, and the consequence is a sort of gut rot and almost a shooting pain up in to the region of your collar bone? I've experienced this once or twice from a batch of kombucha that was too acidic, mountain dew, some of those super acidic coolers, and maybe a batch of beer that I've made, lol, maybe

 

Yeah That's called Heartburn.

There's no reflux problems going on for me in any of these experiences. Heartburn can often be maligned as a medical problem. I don't believe that experiencing the heartburn that I described in the original post is a medical problem. All of those beverages are very acidic and on an empty stomach would probably cause discomfort for a lot of people

 

Anyhow I don't know where I'm taking this. I was musing over making beers that could get too acidic. I don't know enough about the chemistry yet, but I'm guessing that it's possible to create a low mash pH and not raise it to levels more appropriate for final product consumption?

 

Never said it was a medical problem, but that is what I get when I eat/drink acidic stuff. Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about

You stated correctly what it was. I just assume whether from heartburn of mild gastric discomfort it would be noticeable for many people.

Then again mountain dew and Smirnoff ice are consumed by a lot of people
