Pineapple is great for digestion if you don't have enough HCL.

Kind regards,

Thank you V -- I appreciate that. Actually, I'm a pretty generous user of salt -- I ignore all the warnings of how salt causes high blood pressure, and take a lot of flak from my fam and hubby over that. Also -- I actually have a bottle of *Panzyme-HCL* and didn't realize that that was Hydrochloride. And I forget to take it. :-( I did try something that my chiropractor recommended -- taking a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar -- yeccccccccchhhhhhh. I'd rather have acid reflux!! Thanks again for the info -- I'll do better!! :-) MA
