What is the difference between gastric acid and gastric juice ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing really: The stomach is designed to make acid and in general, that is usually what is in it. Occasionally, some contents of the small intestine can get into the stomach and mix with the acid but that is uncommon.
