Gastrointestinal complaints are usually caused by excess gastric acid or because gastric acid does not remain in the stomach but returns to the esophageal reflux or flows into the duodenum. After a heavy meal, for example, too much acid may be present, but if the acid is not present too much, complaints may occur because the stomach is irritated or the stomach's closing mechanisms do not work well. Operation
