Pain in the Stomach : Low Acid or Hypochlorhydria
Finding the root cause of your pain or discomfort is not always easy!
😕👩🔬
One of the most commonly misdiagnosed issues I see with my functional medicine patients is hypochlorhydria or LOW stomach acid.

It can be really confusing when acid reflux or heartburn is actually being caused by not enough stomach acid! Taking antacids just really put it over the edge too! Simple blood tests like looking at your Sodium and Calcium levels can easily show us if this is your issue. Once we know, there is so much we can do to heal your tummy! 💗
