How do I know if I'm pooping out stomach acid?
Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant • View Credentials
You cannot literally “poop out” stomach acid, but low stomach acid can show up indirectly through digestive symptoms. Common clues include bloating after meals, feeling overly full, burping, undigested food in stool, reflux, and deficiencies like iron or B12. These signs are not specific, so stool changes alone cannot confirm low stomach acid.
