6 REASONS FOR LOW STOMACH ACID😦
.
1️⃣ Chronic stress (and past traumas) can keep ur body stuck in "fight or flight" mode which isn't conducive to "rest + digest"
.
2️⃣ H.pylori (a very common bacterial infection) has an enzyme that deactivates stomach acid
.
3️⃣ Low nutrient status for certain minerals like chloride + zinc reduces acid production
.
4️⃣ Antiparietal antibodies attack the cells that make stomach acid (yes, this is an autoimmune situation that can be determined by blood testing thru ur doctor)
.
5️⃣ As we age, it's well known that stomach acid levels drop. This seems to impact adults 65+
.
6️⃣ If u constantly eat on the go rushing to get thru a meal, it's hard for ur body to be fully prepared to digest + absorb ur meal
.
And YES!!! Low stomach acid can absolutely be one of the reasons your skin is struggling 😭
.
Each of these reasons generally had different solutions
While increasing mineral stores or adding in digestive bitters (or betaine HCl) could help one person, someone else might see no improvement (or feel worse 🤮) with that particular solution
.
It certainly can't hurt to generally slow down, appreciate ur food 🙏 + make sure to chew it (as u don't have teeth anywhere else in ur GI tract)
.
That's why I stress that knowing u have low stomach acid is just the first step
