Re: How to reverse effects of HCL supplementation damage?

Hi Sans, thanks for the reply.

I have found something that looks very interesting too, Polaprezinc. It is a prescription drug in Japan used to treat ulcers - as it helps speed up the repair process (and also inhibits H Pylori), take a look at this: http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/dec2006_report_stomach_01.htm


It can be found in most countries as a health food supplement, usually called PepZinGl (full brand name: Doctor's Best, PepZinGl, Zinc-L-Carnosine Complex, 120 Veggie Caps).

What do you think? There are lots of studies about it being effective which makes it look promising. I think I might order some.

I agree with you about the PPIs - I detest taking them, but the pain I get when I stop is unbearable :( especially the pains in my head. I'm guessing I have ulceration near or on a nerve or artery :(( desperately want to get an endoscopy just so I know exactly what's going on.

Btw, this is a great article on HCL damage http://www.metabolichealing.com/key-integrated-functions-of-your-body/gut/the...
it certainly rings true for my case unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestions, intestinew looks good - I already take L Glutamine which I find helps quite a bit.

I will hold off taking anything that encourages acid production for now as I suspect that if I do have Gallstones my body won't be producing enough bile to neutralise it - Gallstones seem to have come at the worse time for me!

I will look at the other supplements too - thanks for posting :)
