Low Stomach Acid - My Cure??
As you all know, I have been trying every natural substance under the sun to kill the bacteria in my mouth and stomach. I may get some relief but never for long. However, I noticed when I drink lemon water ( a whole lemon squeezed) my bad breath diminishes. So I started reading up on stomach acid and decided to try the HCL Betaine. I started taking 1-2 capsules with every meal and now I'm up to six capsules per meal, however I still don't feel a burning sensation. Tomorrow I will try seven per meal then eight, etc. My breath smells so much better!! I believe I'm cured, but don't want to get my hopes too high. My tummy is flatter too....even after pigging out the last few days, I haven't gained ONE pound, Yippee!!
I believe the hydrochloric (sp?) acid is killing the bacteria in my stomach and making my food easier to digest, so it's not putrefying in my belly. TMI, but my bowel movements don't smell as bad anymore.
Anyone else tried this supplement? Any thoughts?

Halitosisux...I have never been tested for H Pylori, but I think I may order the kit tomorrow. Whenever I have massive doses of antibiotics (while hospitalized) my BB is completely gone for about a week. But I noticed I get these massive sugar cravings and once I eat alot of sugar the BB returns. Maybe the few bacteria left in my gut was screaming for food...lol.
ThisSucks, I know absolutely when my breath is bad, terrible, or fresh. I really don't need anyone to tell me. After massive doses of antibiotics, my mouth has a neutral taste...my breath is light, airy, and my tongue is pink. When my breath smells, my breath feels heavy and I have a bitter nasty stinky taste in my mouth. My tongue is also coated when my breath stinks.
I just licked my arm and smelled it and I don't smell anything. My tongue is pink right now and I only have a slight bitter tase in my mouth because I just ate cabbage.

This is just the first example I found after a google search, but if you search for more info on this, you'll see how important it is to make sure you have eliminated HP as a possible cause.
There have even been a number of studies to try to find out why so many people with chronic BB are cured following treatment for HP.

You can sometimes get a positive if you've had a HP infection in the past, or recently had treatment for it. So if you wanted to know for certain whether you've successfully eradicated it or not following treatment, you'd need to go for the more invasive and expensive options, like endoscopic biopsy or the urea breath or stool test.
Check out my other thread for more information. It might help some of you too. But I wouldn't go as far as to say that my bb problem is completely gone. Sometimes I can talk close to someone, which I could not do before. Now it's really hard for me to tell if the reaction I get is due to my bb or just random.
Re: Low Stomach Acid - My Cure??
whenever i eat beets (even a small amount), my pee and poop turn pink or red. i have heard this is a sign of low stomach acid.
recently been dealing with some sort of reflux problem too.. and today, i ate about 4 hours ago but my stomach is bloated and i still feel very full. also been feeling food in my throat and a little comes up when i burp. this doesn't happen all the time, but i do get digestion problems from time to time.
i also have symptoms of hypothyroidism which i have read can be connected, but i haven't done any thyroid tests yet.
anyway, going to buy some betaine HCL and try it tomorrow..
