The Science Behind Stomach Acid and Digestion

😣 Ever feel like food just sits in your stomach like a brick?

That post-meal nausea could be your stomach acid and enzymes not doing their job. When you can’t break down food properly, it causes inflammation — and nausea is often the first signal.

🔥 And here’s the kicker — H. pylori or stress can reduce stomach acid, making digestion even worse.

🧠 It’s not just emotional stress. Mold exposure, inflammatory foods, or hormonal changes (like drops in estrogen) all impact your nervous system — especially the sympathetic/parasympathetic balance — and that controls digestion too.

Also: small changes in stomach acid pH (from 2 to 4) = 100x less acidic. That’s huge. If your pH rises to 5, that’s 1,000x less acidic — and food just won’t break down right.

If nausea hits within 60–90 minutes of eating, think:
✅ Low stomach acid
✅ H. pylori
✅ Gut infections
✅ Nervous system imbalances
