Guest guest Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I too used Betaine HCL for a brief time due to low stomach acid and digestion issues. I did not have those exact reactions, but I did experience extreme stomach pain, burning and pain and burning upon elimination. I stopped it immediately and the pain and burning went away. It was an awful feeling, I can only imagine how bad your son must have felt. I suppose it is too acidic for some. I later read some posts about ox bile, and a supplement called Bile Factors by Jarrow. I use that now when I am going to have a heavy meat/protein meal and it works fine with none of the pain I experienced with Betaine HCL. Also DPPIV digestive enzymes with a heavy protein meal help as well with digestion. As chelation progresses, the stomach acid/bile issues and digestion in general are getting better. I thought I would just relate my experience. Irene > > Hi all, > My son developed egg-like smell from his mouth recently. I read that it might be a sign of undigested protein due to low stomach acidity. We started Betaine HCL with every solid food with meat. Next day he developed lethargy, dry lips peeling, and fever. I gave him mineral water, and he became better. Was it acidosis? Did anyone had the same reaction to Betaine? Does it raise acidity of the body? > > Thanks, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
