Betaine HCL

[Canadian77]

Good day Friends.

I am considering trying Betaine, I have Autoimmune Gastritis. Have been having what I think is gas pain, it can be in left chest, upper right quadrant, right chest area, it moves around. Sometimes sits just before lower chest area. Sometimes its s stabbing pain in chest/abdomen

When should HCL be taken?

I saw Dr Jonathan Wright, who I think is knowledgeable in this are suggest taking it right after first few bites of food

Hi Canadian77

I take this about 10 mins before a big meal. It works for me.

Thank you. How many pills do you take?

Is One 650 Mg sufficient?

[Wwwdot in reply to Canadian77]

I will check the dose tomorrow but I started with one which wasnt enough to stop stomach discomfort so I increased to two tablets and that worked.

Thank you

345mg (Betaine) and 10mg (Pepsin) by Cytoplan.

I take Betaine HCL near the start of a meal and I find it helps with the heavy feeling in my stomach and the bloating feeling in my lower abdomen.

I would never describe the chest pains as you have and hope that you’ve had those checked out by your GP?

Thanks, GP does not know anything, offers PPI

Hi Canadian77,

I have the same condition as you, the Autoimmune Gastritis for 2 years now and have very similar symptoms. I tried HCL but it didn't make much difference to me. I've done my own research as my GP doesn't know much about it and tried to give me PPI too. What works well so me is zinc L-Carnosine in the morning on empty stomach and a probiotic supplement. Then during a day I take slippery elm supplement 30 mins before food 3 times a day. And NAC if I have a large meal but with this condition I watch my diet carefully as wrong foods is what mainly causes symptoms.

Hope this helps.
