The state of having insufficient or low stomach acid is called hypochlorhydria. And it's the most common digestive dysfunction I see with my clients struggling to get relief with their digestive distress and microbiome dysbiosis.
When you have a bloated stomach and think you just need some probiotics or digestive enzymes. And while you may experience some relief, the root cause is most likely a disruption that happens earlier on in the digestive process by what does or doesn't happen in your stomach.
Most common SYMPTOMS associated low stomach acid:
+ heartburn
+ acid reflux
+ post-meal bloating in upper GI tract
+ post-meal belching
+ a feeling that food just sits in the stomach
The the most common nutrient deficiencies:
+ iron
+ B vitamins
+ magnesium
+ zi
+ amino acids (due to protein maldigestion and absorption)
+ low vitamin C
Supporting good stomach acid production is the best place to start for digestive relief and supporting your microbiome.
I'll be sharing more on this topic November 14 @ 8PM during the Ferment Festival. And you'll also want to learn and benefit from all the other presentations + fermentation lined up.
