No burning felt from hcl

Posted By Jasonmchicago (Chicago) on 11/18/2014

Hi... I've been trying to get the "burning" sensation from HCL and it doesn't seem to work. I'm up to 8 capsules but nothing. I'm not sure if it is the brand (NOW Foods) or what.

I feel FULL or BLOATED after I eat. My stomach feels like it is pushed out.

I also take systemic enzymes but at a different time of the day.

A few months ago I was able to get the "burn" but I stopped HCL for a while and never have gotten it back. Please. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Jason,

This might come too late and you've moved on, but I noticed you went up to 8 HCL and didn't add any ox bile or pancreatin. Without all three in the right doses, HCL only starts the process. If you're interested in more info on how to fix it, let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Regards, Kimberly

I have the same issue where I never feel burning no matter how much HCL I take. I see your comment about ox bile and pancreatic and I have not tried that. Can you tell me more about this please? This has been going on for some time and I believe strongly contributes to other issues I’ve been having for long periods of time.
