Malabsorption Issues, Many Allergies and Hypochlorhydria (not having enough stomach acid), July 15, 2009
This review is from: Betaine HCl (Betaine Hydrochloric Acid) 250 Capsules A Natural Vegetarian Professional and Complementary Vitamin and Mineral Health Supplement Formula by Highland Labs (Health and Beauty)
I was diagnosed with "not enough stomach acid" or hypochlorhydria with a diagnostic tool called the Heidelburg Test. I am only 36 and my body has been malfunctioning because it has malabsorption problems producing MANY issues. One of the many, is, my body has been overreacting to MANY allergens. My son has the worst case of malabsorption Dr. Allen Lieberman has ever seen, probably due to hypochlorhydria (he too, did the Heidelburg Test). We both started the Betaine HCL. My son is doing better, but the doctor and I realized that this particular product had pork in it (for an added enzyme). I am allergic to pork. I started researching again to find an HCL with no added enzymes and also a vegetarian capsule. After much work I found this product. After being on this product for 2 weeks, my bowels are normalizing. Nutrients from the food are actually being absorbed through my gut lining and not just passing through me. Finally, a product that is heading me in the right direction. Thank you Dr. Bruce MacFarland for showing me this product.
