Sorry to pop in here after being gone for quite a while. Just have to mention again that stomach acid is soooo important, and it is very common for it to lessen as the decades pass (and rarely not too many decades), even if a person has not taken any acid reducers.

The more I have read, the more problems I believe are caused or exacerbated by low stomach acid. Consider betaine hcl and digestive enzymes?
