I'll bet there are others out there who would benefit from this protocol.

You are telling my story exactly as it WAS,and all the usual OTC remedies were 
useless.This I suffered for a lot of years and all the Drs. remedies only 
worsened it;UNTIL I was told by  a Dr Duffy of Dallas/Ft Worth that it was 
caused by a LACK of Hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not too much.
He said in 30 years of practice his patients that were in this condition had 
low to no HCL  acid.
The recommended protocol was to get Betaine HCL from  HF store @ 500 mgs.Start 
out taking 1 cap 15 minutes B4 meal,next meal take 2 B4 meal .Keep increasing 
this way until you get a peppery burning, then back off one.
I ended up at 7, after a fairly short time I then gradually tapered off to none 
and now I have not had this problem for a good number of years.
I also had to alter my diet and stop eating junk food.
What a great relief this has been.

A good side effect was I lost all my overweight [fat!] as my digestion improved 
so much I couldn't eat that much anymore.
And I am in my 86th year now.
Best to all,
Harold

   I suffer from heart burn all the time. It gets  bad at night. Sometimes to 
the point of where I need to sit up that helps most of the time but some time I 
have to regurgitate after that I am fine and sleep well. I have been taking 
over the counter stuff but I no longer want to do that I know there has to be a 
natural remedy for this problem.
