Betaine is a very simple solution to no stomach acid as opposed to surgery.

Your low BP could also be a sign of Addisons.
DRAT!! I wanted an "easy" fix for something, ya know?!?!?! Something where I could just do ONE thing.....and not have to take another med for the rest of my life.

Won't they HAVE to do surgery IF I have stones??

Yeah, I thought about the Addisons -- with all of the salt I CRAVE!! But, my skin color is normal. Of course I could be one of the few without discoloration.

Thanks, Annie.
