Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Bob, We help people with this all day long, and, most of the time, this easy solution works for those I know who have tried it: Betaine HCl (betaine hydrochloride) plus pepsin taken before meals seems to work most of the time. It's a digestive enzyme that's found in most health food stores (and buyers clubs). It's packaged by Bluebonnet, Twin Labs, and others. (In this case, I prefer the Bluebonnet brand.) After a while of taking this I've been told our clients stop taking the betaine HCl because the acid reflux seems to go away. When the acid reflux starts up again, they start taking the betaine HCl again. I heard about this from Lark Lands (www.larklands.net). She explains that sometimes the valve that keeps your digestive juices from backing up into your esophagus gets stuck in the open position. This could be caused by a lack of betaine HCl and the only way to unstick the valve is to add more. If it gets better, then the problems was probably a deficiency of betaine HCl. If the acid reflux gets worse, then see your doctor about being treated for acid reflux disease.
