Experiences with

Betaine hydrochloride

Hi everyone, Could anyone please explain why I get severe stomach pains after taking HCL, even at a very low dose. I tried it on the recommendation in the hypothyroid hub (re-low stomach acid) I also have to avoid acidic foods and drinks for the same reason. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[/i] [i] [/i] [i]Betaine hydrochloride is a simple and readily available encapsulated form of acidification. Studies in humans are limited but show that betaine hydrochloride appears to be generally well tolerated.

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced and readily available betaine hydrochloride ? I have checked the Solgar one and it seems to be out of stock in most places and of varying prices. Thanks.

Anyone with AF and an underactive thyroid tried taking the above tablets with an anticoagulant? Di

I was on omeprazole for probably 20 years every day, I think originally for IBS symptoms. Never advised to stop. I found out last December what it can do to stomach acid and think this is why I had Vitamin D, B12 and other nutrient deficiencies. I’ve always eaten well and don’t eat any junk food. But

Wwwdot wrote something to the effect that the process of self treating is counter intuitive and someone else wrote that they needed higher amounts than thought to be need to heal. Reading this led me to pondering. If you had told me 4 years ago that I would have to design a way to self-treat that goes

Hello Everyone, Apologies, me again. Weighing in at 42 kg, clearly still malabsorbing, worse since dropping Betaine and Enzymes due to ulcer symptoms. Weird gait/balance, worse ever CFS on last increase of 1/8 grain, so I have dropped it back down again. These are the results, and any thoughts would

hello forum friends I’ve just bought some cytoplan betaine and pepsin. My thinking is to raise my stomach acid to help my body better absorb nutrients. I’m just wondering have any of you tried this, and has it helped? Thanks 💜

I’m still trying to recover from a health crash from Covid in May, better results now and I’m looking better and a lot of symptoms better but I’m still struggling in a lot of ways too. I believe iron and folate supplementation has now made my thyroid dose become too high so I’m knocking that dose

Still clawing my way back to some form of better health after contracting Covid in May but things are seemingly going in the right direction. It seems my thyroid med dose is now too high though! Potentially because my folate and iron are so much better with supplementation. I’ve been feeling extra

hello all, I see some of you take betaine hcl I have read, so my daughter has the product called zypan it contains betaine hcl and other enzymes, is this product different than what most take. or is betaine hcl a product that is sold all by itself?

I see that Wizard6787 posted about 8 months ago, about the prevalence of acne/spots. I am getting them on my scalp. Sometimes on my face, but more in my hair, especially the back of my neck area. Wizard does suggest taking Betaine which I do take, but wondered if there is anything else I need to do to

Finally managed to write my emails as suggested by my endocrinologist, mainly to my MP, Health Secretary & Chair of the East Lancashire NHS Trust to ask why I'm unable to do a trail on liothyronine to see if it will help me etc. I've also asked my endocrinologist if he can provide a prescription via

Hi, community. So I’ve been on a bit of a wild run over the past 2.5 months trying to get my thyroid therapy back in good shape. To give you a bit of the context, I am a 25 yo female, have been diagnosed with Hashimoto and subclinical hypothyroidism since 2018, started combo therapy (T4+T3) around

Years ago I rejected the principle that EOD was all I could do although it 'worked'. A year ago I rejected the science of detention times as applied to vitamins and minerals. The day I injected 3 times a day was my start of self treatment that not only worked but was more effective. I used the
