Poor stomach acidity: Decreased stomach acid, which can be caused by many medications, can make it harder to effectively digest meat products. As some people get older, they can develop an inability to produce enough stomach acid, which is called hypochlorhydria or achlorhydia. A simple remedy for this is to drink water with lemon juice. Supplements such as digestive enzymes and betaine hcl may help.
