Answer 1

Hypochlorhydria is a condition in which the quantity of stomach acids is reduced. When severe forms of hypochlorhydria arise, then it leads to a condition termed as Achlorhydria. The stomach stops producing hydrochloric acid at all in such a condition.

The effects of Achlorhydria would be devastating on the body. It will

• weaken or entirely stop the digestive process.
• impair the gastrointestinal system.
• stop the proper digestion of proteins.
• cause gastrointestinal infections to occur which would entirely damage the digestive system.
• lead to iron deficiency
