Many people with acid reflux find their symptoms improve if they take supplements containing betaine hydrochloride. Apparently, if the level of acid in the stomach is too low, the sphincter muscle separating the stomach and the esophagus can loosen, allowing what acid there is to escape up into the esophagus. Betaine HCL increases the acidity of the stomach and helps prevent this problem. It is available in a variety of formulas, both on its own and with additional digestive enzymes. Follow the dosage directions on the product label and take it immediately after meals.
If your main complaint occurs within thirty minutes of eating, take a full-spectrum digestive-enzymes supplement providing 5000 international units of lipase, 2500 international units of amylase, and 300 international units of protease, plus 500 to 1000 milligrams of pancreation, immediately after the two largest meals of the day to ensure complete digestion.
Glutamine can help soothe irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Try taking 500 milligrams of L-glutamine two to three times daily for up to one month.
Take probiotic supplements of acidophilus and/or bifidobacteria. For indigestion, powdered or liquid formulas are the best choice; these work in the stomach, while capsules open in the intestines. Tablets are not usually as effective, and must be chewed thoroughly. Acidophilus powder can be taken any time for indigestion-simply takes one-fourth to one-half teaspoon as needed. If you must use capsules, open them and pour the contents onto your tongue rather than swallowing them whole. If you are allergic to milk, select a dairy-free formula.
Vitamin E soothes the stomach. Choose the mixed tocopherol or d-alpha tocopherol form, not dl-alpha-tocopherol. Begin by taking 200 international units daily and gradually increase the dosage until you are taking 400 international units once or twice daily.
