Achlorhydria and SIBO

Yes, a severe lack or complete absence of stomach acid (achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria) is a primary underlying factor in the development of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
Stomach acid (hydrochloric acid or HCl) plays a critical role as the first line of defense in the digestive tract.
Adequate gastric acidity is necessary to sterilize ingested food, water, and air, killing off pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and parasites before they can colonize the small intestine.
When stomach acid is absent or severely depleted, the normal barrier function is lost, allowing ingested microbes to survive and proliferate in the upper GI tract.
Furthermore, low stomach acid impairs proper protein digestion and reduces the stimulation of pancreatic enzymes and bile release, creating an environment of undigested food debris that further feeds bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
Restoring proper gastric function and addressing the root cause of low acid output is therefore essential for successfully resolving chronic SIBO cases.
