In today's episode, we're talking about how inflammation can block iron and general nutrient absorption.
Whether from stomach gastric cell atrophy due to an H. pylori infection or acid blocking medications used for heartburn, the lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid production makes it so that iron is not converted to a bioavailable form.
Not to mention when you turn off HCL, (the major incinerator of food) via a proton pump inhibitor, the pH of the stomach is only getting down to a 4 or 5 instead of 2, you can’t completely break down the food, let alone absorb the minerals in the food.
Iron deficiency for so many in the Western world is not due to a lack of iron input, unless perhaps you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, but it is because of chronic low grade inflammation induced by our Standard American Diet and high stress lifestyle.
