Low levels of hydrochloric acid can have a profound impact on the body's ability to properly digest and absorb nutrients. Left untreated, hypochlorhydria can cause damage to the gastrointestinal (GI) system, infections, and a number of chronic health issues.

Answer:
There are two functions of Hydrochloric acid in our stomach :
- It helps in the activation of pepsinogen so that it can act upon proteins.
- It kills the bacteria present in the food.
If Hydrochloric acid is not present in our stomach, the above functions cannot be performed.
