question regarding HCl

Dear Kelly,
when I was a kid I used to like vit. C tablets for their sourness. I preferred sour apples to sweet ones and overate on apples. I was always hungry and had to watch how much I ate.(by the way it wasn't only sour that I liked)
I still like sour tasting foods and I tend to add too much lemon juice, or mustard to the salad dressing.
Had some problems with digestion, it's much better now, but not 100%. I did some cleansing (colon, liver, kidney).
My son likes sour things too. He can just lick a slice of lemon and enjoy it. Other kids wouldn't even touch it. I'm wondering if this is a sign of low HCl in his stomach.
I try to controll what he eats, otherwise his digestive system is upset. If you think it could indicate a low HCl production is there something to increase it?
He has been relatively healthy. Here and there I give him homeo. Vit C to help his immune system.
Thank you.
I've read your answers and I like what you suggest in them. Great to have you here.

Hi Suz,
Sorry for the delay in answering your questoin.
The sour cravings may partly be due to HCl levels being low. It may also be a sign of the liver needing to stimulate bile. Lemon is a great liver tonic. Mustard is acidic, apples are slightly acidic, etc... Look up acid producing foods on the net and try to incorporate GOOD acid producing foods (there are a lot of bad ones that can promote Candida Overgrowth) a balance between alkaline and acidic is always best.
Try drinking warm water with lemon in the mornings, this is great for bowel stimulation and a liver tonic.
The vitamin C is great, make sure it has bio-flavonoids in it. Anti-oxidents are important as well.
I love sour foods as well. I like vinegar, lemon, mustard...I drink lemon water all day long. Plain water is boring to me. These foods can be cleansing and are great for stimulating the immune system
Thank you for the question. I'm happy to hear that you are pleased with my forum so far. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Namaste,
Ask Kelley
