Yes if your stomach is sensitive and mucous membrane inflammed
No. The most acidic foods (like orange juice) we might consume have a pH of 3-4, but your stomach acid is normally at pH 1-2, much more acidic than anything that we would usually ingest.
Yes it can
Excess acidic food intake with other gastric conditions can cause symptoms in most people.
Tomatoes, red sauce, citrus, peppermint, caffeine, alcohol, NSAIDs, aspirin, smoking, and fatty foods can cause epigastric pain and heartburn.
