What Causes Hypochlorhydria In A 50 Year Old?

Thank you. I have read online ; - ) that low stomach acid is very common in people over 50. My doc says a gastroenterologist would disagree and it is not that common. What do you say. I m trying to find out the truth. I have some symptoms of low stomach acid but it could be my excitable nervous system. Sorry, I didn t realize I would have to pay.
