Hydrochloric Acid supplements and Bulimia
HI Doctors,
I am recovering from Bulimia after 20 years. I have digestive issues and now found I am gluten intolerant. I found since stopping gluten my urges has almost vanished except for around 3 pm ish. I struggle but doing 90% better.
I have gastritis and gerds but do not digest well. I have severe food allergies and lots of inflammation in the gut and asthma .I recently developed burning mouth and tongue all day long for 9 months(just started meopause and also had to take Mepron for Babesia when the mouth issue started.
So I need to heal the gut but yet digest foods. I am 53 and told we don't produce enough digestive enzymes and HCl as we age. One doctor suggested to take Pepcin at night to heel the gastritis and take digestive enzymes and HCl with meals to digest food.
Is it true that Bulimics make TOO much HCl and NOT to supplement? I read that we make too much somewhere.
What are your recommendations for HCl supplementation? I want to digest yet want to heal the gut.
Thank you so much!
