If you don&#8217;t get enough of these nutrients, moderate to serious health conditions will arise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">E.g., vitamin B12 requires assistance with stomach acid to distinguish it from the protein it carries. It does not bind with other substances that transport it across your intestinal wall and through your bloodstream if it does not detach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your body requires both B12 and iron in healthy red <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-to-increase-white-blood-cell-with-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blood cells<\/a>, and you may experience anemia because you lack adequate healthy Red blood cells if you are exceptionally poor with these nutrients. You can feel drained, sluggish and constipated, and, in extreme situations, tingling in your hands and feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heartburn is another popular <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/panadol-side-effects-of-panadol-its-used\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">side effect<\/a> of low stomach acid. This gradual, intense burn arises as the stomach acid passes through your esophagus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In contrary to the common misconception, an acidic Stomach is typically not liable for heartburn. Instead, burn is likely to be due to low acid GI symptoms. Mary Stratus, PA-C, a physician at Parsley Health, said previously,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> &#8220;For the sake of breaking down the food, malignancy of food is overgrowing into the GI and GI pathogen, perpetuating the problem.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stomach acid often has disinfecting effects at safe doses, which helps avoid infectious bacteria from entering the IG tract&#8217;s remainder. This implies that as the acid levels decline, the chance of GI contamination (e.g., cold, salmonella, H. pylori) increases, as stated in the Food Safety Article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Untreated, low stomach acid can contribute to allergies, asthma, autoimmune conditions, and skin issues, including acne and psoriasis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;If hydrochloric acid levels are affected, there is a snubbing impact in the IG track, like a leaky intestinal tract, a disorder in which tiny holes create an imbalance of good and poor bacteria in the stomach in the intestine or symbiosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">She claims these gastrointestinal complications will potentially deceive the <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/signs-of-strong-immune-system-healthy-cyte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">immune system<\/a>, rendering you more vulnerable to autoimmunity and skin problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risk_factors_for_low_stomach_acid\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Risk factors for low stomach acid<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3073\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3073\" src=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/New-Project-2020-12-27T215502.926.jpg\" alt=\"Low acid in stomach symptoms\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/New-Project-2020-12-27T215502.926.jpg 750w, https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/New-Project-2020-12-27T215502.926-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/New-Project-2020-12-27T215502.926-585x312.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Low acid in stomach symptoms<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hypochlorhydrate risk factors for low acid in the stomach include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vitamin_deficiency#:~:text=Vitamin%20deficiency%20is%20the%20condition,is%20called%20a%20secondary%20deficiency.\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Deficiency in vitamins<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">High tension rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">more than 65 years ago<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ongoing application of medicine to suppress stomach acid<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Catching an H-caused infection.

Your diet will impact how your body digests your food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take little bites and chew the meal to promote your digestive enzymes.
