Gastric Acid Secretions, Treatments, and Nutritional Consequences

  • Chapter
Book cover Preventive Nutrition

Abstract

The objectives of this chapter are to provide an overview of the roles of gastric acid in health and disease, to discuss the use of acid-suppressive therapies that are used to mitigate prevalent acid-related symptoms and/or diseases and to review potential detrimental nutritional and related consequences. Particular emphasis is placed on reviewing the body of evidence related to drug–drug, and drug–nutrient interactions, and further, the nutritional consequences of gastric acid imbalance as it is related to vitamin and mineral status. Finally, there is a brief discussion related to the consequences of reduced gastric acid with regard to disturbances in the natural bacterial population and balance (microbiome) throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
