Betaine HCl dosing

Based on 650 mg betaine hcl per capsule

I take 1 tablet. It does help. This guy has beautiful hair.

Some HCL capsules contain 100mg HCL and some might contain 600mg. If 8 capsules is the maximum amount you should take, that could mean 800mg or 4800mg or HCL. So what is the point of saying 8 capsules should be the maximum? Shouldn't you be giving us the maximum amount in miligrams instead of maximum amount of capsules?

The problem is the more you have to take the more water you have to ingest during your meal which dilutes or nullifies the effects.

before taking betaine hcl you should test if your bile flow is good so it can neutralize the acid when entering the intestines.

dont take if you suffer from weak stomach lining due to anti inflammatory meds. i took it for a week and had to go to the ER because i had blood in my stool.

I had some great benefits from 1 capsule a day but the moment I started using 2 capsules a day I got burning in the esophagus and throat

[heaven]

Lol at what mg as lots different and if watch dr berg says b4 is OK or middle and take until feel warm feeling then one below, but better than ppi s

We shouldn't not be taking if we don't eat protein, as i can't digest any grain or leafys

I have been taking Betaine HCL with Pepsin for the past few weeks… up to 7 per meal with zero burning sensation after meals. It has helped a lot with bloating but I am experiencing extreme “air hunger”/ shortness of breath. It’s miserable, actually. Do you think this could be silent acid reflux from too much Betaine HCL?

[rshondasmith]

If you never feel the effects or think your getting better should you keep taking ? Even though you are certain that you have low acids ? Or just give it more time ?

[luciusgrey]

I’m at 15 capsules and feel no symptoms and still experience extreme bloating

[galaxytraveler]

Oh... I started off right away with one capsule with each meal, so that would by 5 pills in one day. I'm 3 days in and I was having a slightly irritated throat for a while, with some coughing. Seems not as bad today. Should I just continue, or drop it back and build it up as you mention?
My meals do contain about 20-30 grams protein so that I did right, at least.

So I’m one 3 pills of 650 mg of hcl. Right now it seems I’m not regurgitating up the esophagus of what I know of. But I still feel like my esophagus is swollen still. Is that a good thing and should I still increase the dose to feel the warming sensation?? Hope you answer!!

[MonikaNiewiecka]

Thank you for the great. How long should I keep hcl? And also, can I take it together with bile salts or separately?

[conservativeamber]

Man i wish you were my Gastro Dr
You're so smart and
I have major Bloating, Feeling FULL after a few bites
I dont eat much because im always feeling full

[nevinkuser]

I just mix the betaine HCl straight from the bag into a glass of water.

[J-Leww]

i take 900mg betaine hcl and 60mg pepsin.. every meal.. today marks 2 weeks.. should i increase? i never get the warm feeling or burning

[blooplfe]

So I took 4 and i felt a burn in back of throat but later i felt a little good. But now if feel like my esophagus is burning/swollen is that when i lower the dosage? And keep going it does stop my constant burping tho

[alaaaaaaaannn]

does betaine hcl without pepsin work just as well?

[mazidabegum]

I'm taking betaine for really bad food intolerance, what if we have no indigestion even after the 8 tabs
