A member asked:
Is it possible to have low stomach acid at my age? i had endo in jan, doc saw acid reflux and gastritis. but meds aren't helping and my hair is weak?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid reflux: Acid reflux would not be caused by a low amount of stomach acid. It also would not have anything to do with your hair. If your reflux treatment is not working, you should double down on anti-reflux measures, including avoiding caffeine, alcohol.,chocolate, and any foods which makes the problem worse. See your doctor for changes in your medication since you are not improving. Good luck.
