My experience with low acid causing GERD was to take Betaine HCL 500mgs.Starting with 1 cap. 15 minutes B4 first meal, next meal take 2 caps 15 min B4,next meal 3 B4, keep doing this until a burning peppery feeling is reached,then back off 1 cap.I had to reach 7 B4 I got this feeling.This protocol was followed until the peppery burn was experienced with less and less number of capsules.Now I very rarely have to take one.AND this along with a radical change of diet put a welcome end to GERD,and H-Pylori, the Ulcer causing Bacteria.
