  • If your stomach acid is tested at a pH of 5 this means you have almost no hydrochloric acid and is called achlorhydria. (gutsneedlove.com)
Stomach9
  • The Heidelberg Diagnostic test is used to diagnose Hypochlorhydria (reduced acid production), Hyperchlorhydria (excessive acid production), Achlorhydria (no acid production), Pyloric Insufficiency, Heavy Stomach Mucus (from infection or ulceration), Acute and Sub-acute Gastritis. (wikipedia.org)
  • It may help people with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) or achlorhydria (no stomach acid). (barnesjewish.org)
  • Reduced production of stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) or even a total lack of acid production (achlorhydria) affects as many as one in five people in their 50s, rising to almost one in three of those aged 60 or more. (healthspan.co.uk)
  • Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) can often be difficult to diagnose because it can present symptoms similar to high stomach acid, like heartburn. (belmarrahealth.com)

(garligest.com)
  • Hypochlorhydria or low stomach acid can lead to lowered pressure within the stomach and result in the lower esophageal sphincter not closing as it should. (lakesidenaturalmedicine.com)
Gastric acid2
  • In most patients, hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria occurs because of inhibited gastric acid secretion. (medscape.com)

Bacteria1
  • The development of cancer has been attributed to alterations in DNA caused by chronic inflammation, recruitment and engraftment of bone marrow-derived cells, an imbalance between epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis, and, in a milieu of atrophy and achlorhydria, gastric colonization by enteric bacteria with nitrate reductase activity, which facilitates the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. (clinicalgate.com)
Nutritional2
  • Some people have done all they can think of doing for their health: vitamins, exercise, etc., and still do not feel right due to the poor nutritional status of unrecognized hypochlorhydria. (rwhurstdc.com)
