Because stomach acid is vital to the digestive process, and therefore the release of nutrients into the body, low stomach acid can lead to many health issues. Food that is not broken down moves from the stomach, into the small intestine and colon, and then exits the body unutilized.
After eating a meal, someone who has low stomach acid may experience a feeling of fullness beyond the normal sense of fullness one feels after a meal. They may also experience bloating, belching and burning. These symptoms are all a direct result of food not being able to be properly digested because of a lack of stomach acid. Constipation or diarrhea may also be a cause for concern, as well as stools that contain chunks of undigested food.
As a result of the nutritional deficiencies that can be caused by low stomach acid, one may experience hair loss and weak or cracked fingernails. This is in addition to the more obvious symptoms, such as weight loss and feeling lethargic.
When the probiotics and the bad bacteria in the digestive track become unbalanced, an itchy rectum may result. A frequently reoccuring candida infection is also a sign of bacterial imbalance and therefore low stomach acid.
Symptoms of low stomach acid:
An unusual sense of “fullness” after eating
Bloating, belching, burning, and flatulence immediately after meals
Chronic Candida infections
Hair loss
Indigestion,
diarrhea, and/or constipation
Itching around the rectum Multiple food allergies and nausea

You can eat to your heart’s content, but if you have low stomach acid your body can reach starvation mode, and begin to display symptoms of nutrient deprivation. When the body is deprived of nutrients the hair and nails are the first to go. High acid levels are required for the break down of many trace minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, boron, selenium, and vitamins B12 and B3, which are vital for hair health.
An iodine deficiency can cause low stomach acid.
It's very important to consult your nutritionist, physician or health care provider to help you test whether you produce enough or low levels of stomach acid.
