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
