Suffering from acid reflux, I read at some point (I guess it was on Mayo Clinic) that something like 80% of people diagnosed as producing too much acid actually produce too little.

Since stomach valves are pH activated, having too little acid causes the valves not to clause, which can result in reflux or downstream acid leakage. I tested this by taking HCL supplements, which did fix the issue.

I would strongly suggest checking your sources. Many internet "doctors" aka charlatans, state low acid is a problem. I asked my doctors at John Hopkins about this and they said it was bunk.

Would love to read the study if you can find it.

I tried that too. But it made no difference whatsoever.
