Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Hello everyone, I am trying this question again, since I sent the previous one without a proper subject line... if I got any responses I missed them... I am seeking high and low and everywhere to an answer for this problem. I do not produce stomach acid. I currently supplement with Thorne's HCl with every meal, but what I really would like is for my own acid production to kick in. I have been this way (diagnosed) for years, and who knows how long all in all... I believe the most reasonable explanation I have heard to date is that my body became so acidic, that I stopped producing stomach acid because my body was getting the message " enough acid already! " . Does this mean that if I could get my body into an alkaline state, my stomach acid production would also normalize - or not? If anyone has any personal experiences with this, especially if it was a long standing state of being for you, I would really appreciate hearing your input on this. My N.D. tells me that about 50% of people start producing the acid on their own after supplementing with HCl, but this has not happened for me. Also, will it be readily apparent to me when I start producing my own acid? It may seem like a stupid question... but I don't know how I'd know, when/if I would need to stop the HCl supplementation. Or would I need to re-test?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 Dear Boel, I would try Chinese herbs. There are two kinds, herbs that stimulate and herbs that nourish. You seem to need the herbs that nourish your digestive area to do the job its supposed to do. Do a search at www.google.com or your favorite search engine and look up " digestion chinese herbs " . I don't have any particular recommendations but I think you'll get better results by doing this to improve your digestion rather than just " taking " things in hopes of improvement. It's a concept of wholeness rather than a piecemeal approach to the body. herbal remedies, Boel Stoddard <boel@b...> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am trying this question again, since I > sent the previous one without a proper > subject line... if I got any responses > I missed them... > > I am seeking high and low and everywhere > to an answer for this problem. > > I do not produce stomach acid.
