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.
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.
