The stomach is an elongated curved pouch with muscular walls and a mucous lining. Digestive fluids are released through tiny tubes in the lining, mixing with food to soften and prepare it for absorption. Proper digestion requires ample gastric juice, about fourteen to twenty pounds daily, and sufficient muscular action to keep contents moving. Dr. Frank Woodbury notes that stomach inflammation with excess mucus, or gastric catarrh, is a common cause of digestive disorder and chronic indigestion.
