No advice (too late), only what you read everywhere where HCL capsules are talked recommended:
STOP AS SOON AS YOU FEEL SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!
Myself, I had great success with that stuff after PPIs destroyed my ability to digest ANYTHING, *and it would not get better by itself*. But I had GREAT RESPECT for this stuff and used it only for a short time and VERY carefully.
D@$n, what were you thinking??? It's ACID! You don't take this stuff for MONTHS! Just as with the opposite (the PPIs), you should only take it for a few weeks at most. If you go beyond that, you must have a really (REALLY!) good reason.
The stomach lining is recreated every three days. If you feel anything for longer than that - time to see the doctor.
