Is anyone using this for their condition.  I find I need 1 after each meal and most often a couple times a night as my stomach turns sour.

      It is Hydrochloric Acid, with pepsin.  It helps with food digestion (stomach acid).  After meals and at night I seem to need this to stop my stomach cramps and that source stomach feeling.

      Apparently I am not producing enough Stomach Acid and hence the HCL.

    Yes, this seems to be helping me quite a bit. I always thought I had more than one problem, one in the stomach (low stomach acid, it appears) and one in the bowel (diverticular disease). I now need to find exactly the right product and dose. Any ideas?
