According to what I have read, stomach acid problems are actually caused by not having ENOUGH stomach acid, therefore food is not being digested properly. Taking digestive enzymes helps with digestion, and helps with acid as well. Some amino acids help, among them L-glutamine.

I am not sure why low carb helps with acid reflux, etc. I think (and I am no doctor or scientist) that eating low carb is easier on the digestive system, therefore things run more smoothly. Sugars are hard to digest, as are grains, for some people. I know that, myself, have had minimal stomach problems while low-carbing.
