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.
