Stomach disorders

chronic disease caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus

congenital disorder of digestive system

Gastroparesis (gastro- from Ancient Greek  – gaster, "stomach"; and -paresis, πάρεσις – "partial paralysis") is a medical disorder of ineffective neuromuscular contractions (peristalsis) of the stomach, resulting in food and liquid remaining in the stomach for a prolonged period. Stomach contents thus exit more slowly into the duodenum of the digestive tract, a medical sign called delayed gastric emptying. The opposite of this, where stomach contents exit quickly into the duodenum, is called dumping syndrome.

Human disease

Achlorhydria and hypochlorhydria are states where the production of hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions of the stomach is absent or low, respectively. Achlorhydria is commonly a complication of some other disease, such as chronic Helicobacter pylori infection or autoimmune pernicious anemia, as well as a possible side effect of long-term use of proton pump inhibitors.
