This is interesting; never thought about having too little acid. My daughter has quite a bit of trouble and think perhaps I should try the Betaine Hcl. Will places like Puritans Pride hav it or do you have to get at a special place?

The bacteria Heli-cobacter Pylori burrows into the stomach lining and has the ability to emit and surround itself with sodium-bi-carbonate ,which as we know is highly alkiline,neutralizing the HCL acid in the stomach.Using acid blockers,Tums,etc., is pure insanity in one of its' truest forms. I know,because I went down that road to my detriment.
