test for stomach acid.

==>Hi Holly. Welcome to our group.

> I performed the test this morning at 6 am. I had one very small

burp at a minute and a half and then no more. I'm not quite sure how

to interpret these results and would appreciate some insight. I did

take Gaviscon last night around 9 pm (tired of waking up with

> heartburn every night!), so I'm not sure how or even if that would

alter the results.

==>I've found that the baking soda acid test is not accurate so I am

deleting it from our files; I just haven't had time yet.

==>If you have heartburn you have low stomach acid (HCl), because

enough HCl keeps the valve to the esophagus closed. Taking Betaine

HCl with meals is important, along with eating 2 tbls of good

unpasteurized sauerkraut with every meal, and following other

recommendations for improving digestion in my article " How to

Successfully Overcome Candida " ;

==>You can safely take 1-2 Betaine HCl at any time to alleviate

heartburn. HCl also helps the body clean out toxins.
