You know Hygeia_, this is a great topic, especially for those, like myself, with advanced stage of PA/AMAG with no gastric acid (achlorhydria). One of the primary functions of gastric acid is to sterilize your ingested food so those with achlorhydria are very susceptible to becoming ill or food poisoning, or bouts of diarrhea. From experience, I am very careful about the food I eat. If I eat ground beef I make sure it's fully cooked, veggies I wash well, I don't typically eat leftover food, if I find a spot if mold on an otherwise perfectly looking peach I do not cut off that small piece of mold and eat it. Now at any sign of mold I consider the entire thing bad. I found this chef called "a Chef Without a Stomach" who had his entire stomach removed due to cancer. He has a bunch of YouTube videos on preparing food. I found him when they were considering removing my stomach a couple of years ago. Lol imagine my jaw dropping to the floor when I heard that! I still have it though.

Anyway, I ramble and not even sure I answered your question. 🙃
