Since I drastically modified my diet I just once in a while take some to test and find I don't need more HCL. Hi Harmac -- can you tell me how you modified your diet? MA Basically what I did was a complete change from the western diet;I took The Metabolic Typing test and found I was a Mixed type.I was a heavy user of grain foods;so Istopped all grains,such as breads,cakes,pies,cookies,pastas,etc.I eat 70 to 90% raw fruits and vegetables now.I cut down on amounts of meat.Cut out all Deli-meats,bacon etc.I put in more cold water fish,baked chicken thighs in my diet.I make my own soups[quit most canned foods] from scratch.Stop most foods that have sugar in them;went to Xylitol as a healthful substitute for sugar.No candies of any kind except some very dark Chocolate,ie 78 to 88 % cocoa. Some red wine with a meal,cut back on coffee,1 or 2 cups/day.Stay away from starbucks et al coffees.If other sweetening is wanted,get a good brand of Honey,preferably from a Bee farmer.Most store Honey is adulterated and highly processed making it a poor food.I bring in Manuka honey from New Zealand;costly,yes,but,if you want good health you won't get it by eating junk.A side benefit of this diet is,a good loss of over-weight.I am down to 156 Lbs. now from 183 lbs.This loss of weight took 4 inches off my middle,which helped stop my GERD.After the Betaine HCL treatment as I went on with this change, my need for HCL supplementing declined.I also supplement with a large variety of Vitamins/minerals,etc. as I believe our mass produced foods today are sorely deficient in all vital nutrients. In addition,stop using the regular salt you buy at the store and get either Sea salt or Himalayan salt.Regular salt is processed at High temperatures with other adulterants added.Salt = is Sodium Chloride and the Chloride is what is needed by your stomach to make Hydrochloric Acid.This Sodium Chloride is in the available form your body can use. I hope this helps,be well. Harold
