Thanks for the suggestion. You made me " research " this, and it seems

that sometimes you are not acidic enough, instead of the better-known

opposite condition. I found this, for what it's worth:

I'm not running out to buy hydrochloric acid, but the possible

explanation is worth having in mind.

I use Betaine Hydrochloride by Natural Factors. It was inexpensive $6 verses

another one at 20 or 30, and I found it very helpful.

After taking it for a short time I noticed that I no longer needed to take it

every meal, si I just take it with higher protein meals.

Helge, Thank you for the links. I have tried this digestive aid

and

didn't get any changes. Your link has helped me to

consider to

try again. By the one link mentioning about the dosage to use.

My doctor told me that if I wanted to try it, buy 10 mg tablets and

increase it until your stomach burns and then cut back 1 tablet.

BUT!

I cannot find it in 10 mg tablets. This article explains that 60mg is

equal to 1grain. So, if what he meant was 10 grains I have to

try

this again. I have candida overgrowth for some reason.

The tablets I found says it has 60 mg of Hcl in it along with pepsin,

can you imagine how many I have to take just to get up to 10 grains?

If anyones knows of a good source of Hydrochloric acid please let

me know.
