Are gas and acidity the same thing?

No. Gas and acidity are two different discomforts. Acidity is caused due to improper functioning of the sphincter (valve located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe). As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the food pipe's upper part, causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc., from the body.
