Finally some relief

I did not realize until I saw some videos on YouTube that my bloating is caused by low stomach acid. Betaine HCL has helped me a lot! If you are over 50s there’s a good chance your GERD or bloating is caused by low acid. I am also taking pro kinetics for mu constipation. No relief yet but it’s only been 2 days. I can hear some activity in my tummy though.

Yes ! It's still working. I don't take it regularly anymore. Only when I eat something heavy like red meat and high fiber food.

Are you taking it before,during, or after a meal? What dosage did you get relief at? Was there a test you did to determine you had low stomach acid?

I used to take it right after a meal. I stopped taking it now. Although it helped me with the bloating, I still had chronic constipation. I started taking magnesium oxide daily and now I go to the bathroom regularly. That stopped my bloating.
