Betaine HCL with pepsin

Digestive health
1

Hello all!

This is my first post to this website. I am trying to naturally heal my stomach from severe bloating that has plagued me for years since I have just been diagnosed with generic IBS by my GP.

I am at a stage where I am experimeting with Betaine HCL with pepsin (Thorne). I have tried taking a pill with my first bite of food and also near the end of my meals with the same symptoms of feeling nauseous and more bloated! I don't have the symptoms of too much stomach acid such as a warming sensation however.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to if I should stop taking the supplement or if I need to build a tolerance?

Thank you in advance!!!

Michela,

You can go round and round in circles with tablets and potions but in the end it comes down to what is good for you. The right type fibre, bit of meat, bit of fruit. You have to do the research. It is amazing what I can cook from porridge.

Good luck 🍀

Thank you for the response Maggie smile I do have an incredibly healthy and balanced diet! (besides being vegetarian now, however my symptoms started back when I ate meat and my diet wasn't as great). I'm not really sure what to do from here but will continue my research smile

Why you stop eating meat ?

Was it because you found it affected you ?
