AND how do you know if you need to? +++Hi Amy. Most candida sufferers have poor digestion, particularly low stomach acid. The symptoms of low stomach acid are exactly the same as high stomach acid, which is why such problems are misdiagnosed and treated with antiacids or acid inhibiting drugs. It is most important there is enough stomach acid (HCl) in the contents emptying out of the stomach, since having enough triggers the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes, and, most importantly, to produce baking soda in order to alkalize the contents for proper digestion in the intestines. That's why I do not recommend anyone take pancreatic digestive enzymes and instead they get their pancreas to do its job by ensuring they have enough stomach acid. Here's an article on Stomach Acid Problems so you can see whether you require HCl, or alternatively eating sauerkraut or kimchi like the article describes: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig14.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Or you could eat sauerkraut - that's how I healed my acid reflux. It also works better than any antacid tablets if you have heartburn. My dad, the Great Sceptic, tried this the other day and was amazed by the results. You might not like the taste; I didn't either at first. However if you don't mind it, and you need it for a longer period of time, it's cheaper than the HCL. andra > > > > > Is it necessary for anyone on the program to take HCL or only if you > > need to?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 hi susie did you have any burning discomfort when you first started the HCL? did you start slowly and ease up? thanks monique Amy, I know Bee will give the best answer but I can tell you that HCL stopped or cured my acid reflux/GERD.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 > > hi susie did you have any burning discomfort when you first started the HCL? did you start slowly and ease up? thanks, monique No burning or discomfort ever. I started with 250 mg of HCL & have never taken more than 250 mg per meal. Sometimes I cut one in half so it's just 125 mg if I'm having one raw egg, for instance. Remember, if you get a burning sensation, reduce the amount next time and/or take 1/4 tsp. of baking soda in water & sip it.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi , Just wanted to chime in: I get burning (it's very painful) even when I take just one HCL, unless it's with a very big/heavy meal. So, instead, I eat sauerkraut. It's much more comfortable for me. > > hi susie > > did you have any burning discomfort when you first started the HCL? did you start slowly and ease up? > > thanks > monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
