Re: How about too much stomach acid ??

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info but I know I do have high stomach acid.. I tried

the HCL for some time and ended up with alot more discomfort. My

stomach hurt from the beginning.WHen I take alka salts {alka salts

are baking soda in a purer form} I do burp and my dizziness goes

away and my energy ,stomach gets better...SO nuts I am one of the

few... I tested negative for H-pylore {the bacteria that causes

ulcers] .Then I went on the antibiotics for ulcers just in case the

test was incorrrect.. I felt better with the antacid but the

treatment did not help the acidity.. SO I am stumped as to why I do

excrete alot of acid---My father has the same problem-- so some sort

of genetic link...
