In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer™, we're talking about a common and little-talked-about side effect of breast cancer treatment and day-to-day living: digestive changes. If you've experienced bloating, reflux, fatigue, or that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, this episode is for you.

You'll learn why hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is often misdiagnosed as high stomach acid, how breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy contribute to poor digestion, and why treating symptoms with acid-blocking medications might be doing more harm than good.

Most importantly, we’ll cover simple, nurturing steps — like mindful eating habits and nutrient support — to help you feel better, absorb more nutrients, and reconnect with your body’s healing capacity.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • How chemotherapy and hormonal therapy disrupt stomach acid production
  • The surprising truth about low vs. high stomach acid symptoms
  • Why PPIs and antacids may worsen digestion in breast cancer survivors
  • Simple ways to support digestion naturally after treatment
  • At-home options to test for low stomach acid
  • The role of eating hygiene in restoring healthy digestion
  • Common symptoms and red flags that signal hypochlorhydria
