Heal Low Stomach Acid Naturally with Ayurveda & Functional Medicine
What is Low Stomach Acid & Why Does It Matter?
Low stomach acid (Hypochlorhydria) occurs when the stomach doesn’t produce enough hydrochloric acid (HCl), leading to poor digestion, nutrient deficiencies, bloating, and acid reflux.
🔹 Ayurveda links low stomach acid to weakened Agni (digestive fire), caused by stress, poor diet, and excessive medication use. Functional medicine identifies gut infections, inflammation, and nutrient imbalances as key factors.
Common Symptoms of Low Stomach Acid:
✔ Bloating & gas after meals
✔ Acid reflux or heartburn (often mistaken for high acid)
✔ Feeling full quickly while eating
✔ Burping & indigestion
✔ Nutrient deficiencies (B12, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium)
✔ Frequent infections, poor immunity
✔ Weak hair, nails, & brittle bones
Why Conventional Treatments Often Fail
🚫 Antacids & PPIs Worsen the Issue – Many people mistakenly take acid-blocking medications, further reducing stomach acid and worsening digestion.
🚫 Ignoring Root Causes – Low stomach acid is often caused by stress, gut infections, or nutritional deficiencies, yet conventional medicine rarely investigates these factors.
🚫 Overlooking Enzyme & Bile Flow Support – Good digestion requires proper enzyme production and bile flow, which are often neglected in conventional treatments.
🚫 No Dietary or Lifestyle Modifications – Simply taking supplements without addressing diet, hydration, and stress won’t provide lasting relief.
The Root-Cause Approach: How Ayurveda & Functional Medicine Fix Low Stomach Acid
Unlike conventional medicine, Ayurveda & Functional Medicine focus on restoring stomach acid naturally, improving digestion, and enhancing nutrient absorption.
1️⃣ Stimulate Natural Stomach Acid Production
✔ Use Ayurvedic remedies like Triphala, Rock Salt, Ginger, and Hing (Asafoetida)
✔ Support HCl production with Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemon Water, and Betaine HCl
✔ Eat bitter foods like Methi (Fenugreek), Bitter Gourd, and Dandelion Greens
2️⃣ Improve Digestive Function & Nutrient Absorption
✔ Strengthen digestion with Ajwain, Fennel, and Cumin Seeds
✔ Enhance bile flow with Turmeric, Milk Thistle, and Black Pepper
✔ Support enzyme production with Papaya, Pineapple, and digestive bitters
3️⃣ Heal the Gut & Reduce Inflammation
✔ Repair gut lining using Aloe Vera, Slippery Elm, and L-Glutamine
✔ Balance gut bacteria with probiotics (Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium)
✔ Reduce stress-induced digestive issues with Ashwagandha & Brahmi
Functional Lab Tests to Diagnose Low Stomach Acid
🧪 Gastric pH Test – Measures stomach acid levels
🧪 H. Pylori Breath or Stool Test – Identifies bacterial overgrowth suppressing acid production
🧪 Organic Acids Test (OAT) – Evaluates digestion, metabolism & nutrient deficiencies
🧪 SIBO Breath Test – Detects bacterial overgrowth that impairs stomach acid function
