I’m guessing Metabolic Alkalosis number 3. If one loses a great deal of stomach acid, (pH of aprox 1) the body can’t reabsorb it.

Correct answer: 3
Severe vomiting results in a loss of hydrochloric acid and acids from extracellular fluids, leading to metabolic alkalosis. It is rare that a loss of base intestinal fluids result in metabolic acidosis.
