Ep 24: Low Stomach Acid: A Hidden Cause of Chronic Bloating & Digestive Issues

Chronic bloating, constipation and endless food sensitivities? It could be low stomach acid. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of low stomach acid and how it's a very common underlying root cause of chronic digestive issues like burping, bloating, constipation, and food reactions. Stomach acid plays a key role in digestion. Without it, you'll struggle to digest even the healthiest foods. In this episode we'll cover signs of low stomach acid, root causes, and natural solutions so you can optimize digestion and feel your best again.       WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Low stomach acid can lead to chronic digestive issues and poor nutrient absorption. Stomach acid acts as a barrier against pathogens. Low stomach acid can cause nutrient deficiencies, especially B12. The first phase of digestion happens before you even take a bite of food. Nutrient deficiencies, especially in zinc and B vitamins, can hinder stomach acid production. PPIs, antacids, and antihistamines can exacerbate low stomach acid and make gut issues worse.
