i had acid reflux and it was from low stomach acid. low acid levels cause the top sphincter of your stomach to remain open and give you the symptoms of reflux. you can supplement w betain hcl and even use it to test if you have low acid

if you take the hcl after eating and you get heartburn you know your issue isn’t too little acid. no heartburn indicates low acid.

if you have reflux on an empty stomach it’s likely from too little acid
