LOW STOMACH ACID CAUSES DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

Low stomach acid causes discomfort for many people. Yet, most don't relate their digestive problems with low hydrochloric acid.When you eat, the food passes down into the stomach. The stomach has muscles which act to churn and gyrate your food. The stomach also has two key secretions for digestion. These are hydrochloric acid and pepsin. You need both of these in order to properly digest proteins and to absorb minerals from your food.Your food remains in the stomach, churning and gyrating until a semi-liquid state is achieved.So, if you have low stomach acid, the food sits there longer.
