A member asked:
Can an exposure to allergens in the air cause an increase in histamine, which leads to an increase in acid production in the stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: doesn't work that way, increased acid production in the stomach is due to several other causes, and can affect people who don't suffer from allergies too
