About zero acidity of the stomach

Normally, in a healthy person, gastric juice has a strongly acidic reaction. An acidic environment in the stomach is necessary, first of all, for the normal process of food digestion, in particular, for the complete breakdown of proteins. On the other hand, the aggressive (acidic) environment in the stomach is a kind of antibacterial filter that prevents many microorganisms from penetrating the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and further spreading throughout the body.

For one reason or another, the acidity of gastric juice can change, both upwards and downwards. In some cases, we are talking about zero acidity - a pathological condition that occurs as a result of a violation of the normal mechanism of acid formation in the mucous membrane of the stomach.

The zero acidity of the stomach promotes the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms into the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, which contributes to the development of the inflammatory process, which in turn disrupts intestinal motility, which leads to constipation.

With zero acidity of the stomach, proteins are poorly digested, which can lead to intoxication of the body and the development of tumor processes.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to talk about complete treatment with zero stomach acidity. Drug therapy is aimed at short-term normalization of acidity, as well as improvement of digestion processes, which is achieved with the help of enzyme preparations.

Nutrition occupies a special place in the treatment of zero acidity of the stomach . Food should be approached responsibly, not allowing yourself products and dishes that can harm.
