http://www.ei-resource.org/ 3034-491 http://www.ei-resource.org/treatment-%11-nutritional-supplements/nutrients-a%11f/betaine-hcl/ I have suffered from digestive complaints for most of my life and have been diagnosed with IBS. On the advice of my nutritionist I did a challenge test with Betaine HCl capsules to find out if low stomach acid was contributing to my problems and the right dose of the supplement to take to help with my symptoms. After discovering that I needed four capsules of Metagest from Metagenics I started on that dose with every meal and very quickly found much relief from my bloating and abdominal discomfort. It really was amazing! I stayed at that dose for a few months then reduced to 2 capsules every meal and have been taking this supplement at this level ever since. I wouldn't say I am cured but I am a whole lot better. I also appreciate this may not help everyone and is not the whole answer to IBS but I would recommend you look into it.
