I've been reading about low stomach acid and how can be connected to lyme. Has anyone had experience with this or success treating it?

I tend to think I have high stomach acid, possibly in connection to histamine which is most likely related to my infections. Take antacids/antihistamines.

I think many can have low acid though. Others will probably chime in on that.

Their is a home "test" using sodium bicarbonate mixed in water first thing in the morning.

Many people, lyme or not, have low stomach acid.

Betatine HCi, 650mg (Hydrochloric Acid) is a pretty common suppliment for this.

Half the people in the world on anti-acid PPI drugs actually had low acid to begin with. Low acid also can cause GERD, weird but true.

Ive noticed supping this seems to help most with meat.

Is Betaine HCL something you also take with supplements too, if those aren't getting absorbed?

I would think this would help.

Its usually vitamins and minerals that can unfortunately absorb medicines and possibly non-herbal supplements.
