Supplements of hydrochloric acid taken at meals are usually of great benefit in relieving it and improving digestion in general. Most of the time the burning sensation is caused by fermentation, not by a surplus of stomach acid. Usually people produce less stomach acid with age. Digestive enzymes taken with meals also help.
