~ ~~~ Stomach Hydrochloric acid, believe it or not, is so important for our digestion. Hydrochloric acid breaks down food and is certainly important for digestive activity. ~~~ Hypochlorhydria surfaces when the stomach is unable to produce adequate amount of hydrochloric acid. ~~~ Hydrochloric Acid is essential for digestion of protein. Hydrochloric acid sterilises and wipes out bacteria (very essential to protect the gut from infections, such as gastroenteritis and other gut disorders). It's vital to have this acidic environment for the ability to absorb certain micronutrients and to get rid of undesirable bacteria. ~~~ The ability to produce stomach acid declines as one matures in age. So it's extremely important for the individual to understand how and what to eat in order to keep an equalibrium for a healthy gut. ~~~ The problem we encounter with hypochlorhydria (low hydrochloric acid) is the lack of digesting foods properly. Many expressed conditions are affiliated with hypochlorhydria: increased ageing because of malabsorption, wind ,gas, bloating, IBS, Allergies (if foods are poorly digested the immune system reacts and unfortunately results are Allergies), Gastritis, reflux, iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, candida symbiosis.
