Non-H. pylori flora during acid-suppression: in gastric juice and mucosa
This is a wonderful article looking at a problem many have commented on for years–hydrocholoric (stomach) acid is supposed to be there!! It serves many functions, including activation of other enzymes, digestion of proteins, absorption of certain nutrients, and in the case of this study: protection. Stomach acid serves as a barrier to infection from bacteria, and drugs that block the suppression of stomach acid can lead to an overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria.
