Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hi John, My Boyfriend had a hiatal hernia and a peptic ulcer, He now takes enzymes and lots of HCI with every meal, he also takes Kombucha daily. He was to have the operation that puts a one way valve in his esophagus. but since he is not bothered with any stomach problems he never went back to the doctor (MD) Now he sees a nutrition, supplemental therapist, no longer does he have problems.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hi Elaine Thanks for your interesting response. Does your boyfriend take enzymes and HCI (?) on a nutrition or other therapist's prescription, or because of his own researching?
