Achlorhydria occurs when there’s an absence of hydrochloric (HCl) acids in the stomach. It’s a more severe form of a hypochlorhydria, a deficiency of stomach acids.
Both conditions can impair the digestive process and lead to damage of the gastrointestinal system. Without stomach acid, your body won’t properly break down protein. You’ll also be more susceptible to gastrointestinal infections.
HCl acids break down our food and activate digestive enzymes that dissolve proteins and other nutrients. It also helps kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites in the stomach, protecting you from infection and disease. Left untreated, achlorhydria and hypochlorhydria can have life-threatening consequences.
