Although the clumps form in spoiled milk, the chemical reaction that causes curdling also occurs in fresh milk, under the right conditions. … Milk is slightly acidic. When the pH is lowered even more by the addition of another acidic ingredient, the protein molecules stop repelling each other.

Health tips to overcome a Gastric problem

If you drink liquids with your meals, you lose stomach acids and can’t break down food as well, which leads to gastric problems. Try drinking about 30 minutes before or after a meal to help your stomach digest better.

Habits like smoking, chewing gum, and drinking through a straw may cause your stomach to fill with air, leading to gas.
