Re: Have you tried Betaine HCl (hydrochloride) supplements?

"An increase in SIgA will generally mean a heightened immune response which usually signifies inflammation. It will generally be an acute immune response, ongoing infection or significant food allergy .
An elevated SIgA along with an elevated lysozyme, calprotectin or lactoferrin level will tell you that there is inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis), an elevated SIgA with low or normal lysozyme, calprotectin or lactoferrin levels will tell you that there is either IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or a significant food allergy or infection.
I have noticed that patients with markedly elevated SigA levels often feel quite ill, and some can feel really sick. An upregulated immune respone can create many different clinical scenarios and can affect many different systems of the body. Microbial and mircoscopic studies of the stool are useful in identifying if bacteria, candida or parasites are present, and this information can significantly aid in formulating a plan of successful yeast infection treatment. It is important to remember however that elevated SigA levels have been found in the absence of bacteria, candida and parasites in people with atopic conditions like food allergies , urticaria and dermatitis."
