It would be helpful if you start researching sites such as the above to address 
your problem as you know your symptoms better than anyone.  Places such as this 
list provide good leads and sources to alternatives, but ultimately, it is you 
who must take responsibility for your health decisions.  Good luck and may you 
have a speedy recovery.

 For instance, if one is lacking in hydrochloric acid...it is usually the 
result of something else that is out of balance as well within the digestive 
system, so just adding HC,  Zinc or lessening our stress/worry factors as 
individually remedies may not fix the problems entirely or permanently. 
 *******Question on this:  As I have both ridges on my fingernails and 
digestive problems (acid reflux and frequent violent burping), I probably am 
lacking hydrochloric acid and perhaps zinc as well.  How does one go about 
solving the lack of hydrochloric acid?    Thanks.      MA
