Sort of. My chiro suggested I take 3 at each meal. I was a little nervous about this so I started with one, and it did burn ever so slightly in the beginning, but this quickly went away. I worked up to 3 at each meal and I'm still there.
The book "Why Stomach Acid Is Good For You" has a lot of good info on this. My recollection is the author suggests working up to 5-7 per meal.
