An underactive stomach, medically known as hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria, can be the underlying factor in a myriad of digestive issues. In this post, we'll explore the signs and symptoms of an underactive stomach and introduce you to a natural solution, DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice), to manage these concerns.
