When hypo, it can cause low stomach acid and the discomfort can be quite bad. If we mention it to the GP they are apt to prescribe ant-acids which is the opposite to what we need for relief.
Many members take Digestive enzymes with a meal (this provides the acid necessary to dissolve protein). Also you can use a good Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with juice or water (only use several teaspoons as it is quite strong (some take a tablespoon but I found that too much).
Because we are hypo (slow) everything slows down, digestion, heartbeat, pulse until we slowly increase levothyroxine.
I do have high stomach acid not low. My probably is major gas and reflux that got worse.
That is very unpleasant to say the least. I assume doctor has checked for H. pylori : -
