Posted on Mon, 6 Aug 2012

Question: Is the "gastric lumen" the same as the "stomach lumen?" Would a pH of 2-3 just before I eat be considered normal?

Hello

Thanks for the query

Stomach and gastric lumen means the same thing. Normal ph of the stomach is between 1.5 to 3.5. It is highly acidic because of the gastric juices secreted in the stomach.

I hope I have answered your query, if you have no further queries please accept my answer

I wish you good health

Regards
