Low Stomach Acide ?
Hi, all. How do I find out if I have low stomach acid? I get bloated after most of my meals and I'd like to know the cause. Thanks!

I "think" that there's a test for it, but most doctors have probably never used it. They just write out a prescription for a PPI, which removes the acidity completely. Probably the best way to go about it is to just try some Betaine-HCL. Betaine-HCL causes your stomach to produced more acid, but the dose needs to regulated. Probably the best way to go about discovering the correct dose for you is to just follow the routine spelled out by this article:
