Abstract
As a result of a number of studies of gastric secretion in children, the authors find it to be different in healthy and sick infants and in older children. In both breastfed and formula-fed infants, the absence of HCl in the gastric juice during digestion and its presence in the stomach only on an empty stomach are noted. Total acidity in healthy infants when fed with woman's milk averages 0.50 and with cow's milk ranges from 1.0 to 1.80 (per liter of gastric juice).
