What causes a build up of acid in your system or to be too "acidic"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acidosis: Acidosis can occur when the body produces too much acid (such as Lactic Acid or during diabetic ketoacidosis), when the kidneys are too sick to excrete the acids normally produced during metabolism, or when the lungs are too sick to breathe off carbon dioxide. The doctors who diagnose and treat this condition are typically nephrologists (kidney specialists).
