Often there is low acid because of dehydration problems and drinking 2 glasses of water two hours before meals can prevent this problem (helps mucus formation as well)
The Australian Bush Flower Essences Crowea and Paw Paw can also be helpful for acid balance (for two high or two low) though there are other for better digestion and assimilation too.

Google "home test for low stomach acid". I have read that around 80% of cases of "acid reflux" are actually caused by too little stomach acid. I do not know how much increasing stomach acid levels will do to reducing an existing C. Difficile infection, but low stomach acid will keep conditions favorable for it to keep recurring, so my view is you want to directly attack the bacterial overgrowth, and promote a proper level of acid in the stomach so you don't keep getting new infections. I take Betaine HCL with pepsin to increase stomach acid. sol At 08:12 PM 1/20/2010, you wrote: >how do you do that > >In a message dated 1/20/2010 8:49:42 P.M.
