Kinda surprised I just needed to take Hydrochloric Acid and all my decades long reflux issues appear to have disappeared.
Sounds nuts.

I used ACV & stopped eating a lot of the garbage I was eating.
PPIs & antacids are shit.
It's caused by low stomach acid not activating the LES. As you get older your stomach tends to produce less acid. As you get older you tend to suffer from acid reflux more.
Yeah damn right. Not something I've ever heard explained until recently.
Saw Tony (mutiny) turn it around with Reverse Osmosis water and got curious.
Got generations of family taking shit PPIs I've always tried to refrain but have been losing the battle as I got older.
All of a sudden HCl+Pepsin supplement and apparently I'm fine.
Got to convince my Dad / Brother now!
My old man is fixated on helio bacter pilori as the cause.
I got rid of my reflux about 20 years ago but he's convinced he's special.
He goes in to the doctor every 18 months complaining & demanding a test for it.
What do you do? 🤦🤷
Do you need a prescription to buy the HCl?
Nah available on iHerb.
Sounds super sketchy when I mentioned to the wife I was going to give it a try. Only a week on but huge difference.
How much hydrochloric Acid did you take? Asking for a friend. 😉
Did you see this recent article by Midwestern Doc?

I can send the full thing if you need it.
I got supplements 650mg with Pepsin - they do say "be cautious before you take Hydrochloric acid because someone said it was good on the internet" though!
