What is anyone's experience finding out you have very little to no stomach acid?

I have a feeling this is why my sibo (bacteria) came back. Took the HCL pills & was up to 6 of them, so I know I don't produce stomach acid. But however, the pills didn't make me feel very well. so stopped taking them. Anyways just curious anybody having experience w/low stomach acid
