What Causes Low Stomach Acid?
Low stomach acid can develop for a number of reasons, and may be influenced by diet, nutrient status, and microbial balance. Stomach acid is essential for breaking down food, supporting nutrient absorption, and maintaining healthy digestion.
1. Microbial Imbalance
Lactic acid bacteria and lactic acid yeast normally help acidify the colon and aid digestion. When the microbiome in the large intestine is lacking, an overgrowth of bacteria may occur in the small intestine (a condition known as SIBO). This can cause regurgitation of fluids and digestive discomfort.
Traditional support: the probiotic strain Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) has been studied for supporting gut balance.
2. Excessive Red Meat Intake
Diets high in red meat may slow digestion. For pets, balancing meals with pureed vegetables and less meat can sometimes help overall digestive ease.
3. Low Salt Intake
A deficiency of natural salts may affect stomach acid production. Using mineral-rich salts such as Celtic salt, rather than refined table salt, may help maintain balance.
4. Potassium Deficiency
Low potassium can contribute to reduced stomach acid. Potassium chloride provides a direct source; humans typically require 4,000–5,000 mg per day.
5. Zinc Deficiency
Zinc plays a role in digestive function. Low zinc status has been linked with reduced stomach acid and poor assimilation. Zinc picolinate is a form commonly used for support.
6. Iodine Deficiency
Iodine supports thyroid health. In both humans and animals, low thyroid activity (hypothyroidism) can be associated with reduced stomach acid.
7. Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium supports smooth muscle relaxation, including in the lower oesophageal sphincter. Deficiency may contribute to acid reflux or regurgitation. Symptoms of deficiency can include muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), or even neurological signs like nystagmus.
