I have VERY low HCl (stomach acid), and it's only gotten worse the past few months because I've been flooding my system with protein it can't absorb. I think this is why my body sometimes doesn't respond to herbs at all, and why this 1,000mg a day dose of PM isn't really doing much for me besides nipple sensitivity. I should increase my dose next month anyway, but will probably try a kick-start dose before dropping down to 1,500mg a day. I really hope I don't need much more than that, but who knows.
(My post on low stomach acid)
Most women don't seem to go over 1,000mg a day, and many respond to just 500mg, but I know I need more than most women, even now that I'm absorbing nutrients from herbs. I'm actually surprised that I responded so well to somewhat low doses of FG and RC, but not PM.
That's interesting.... I think mine is normal, as long as I maintain a low carb lifestyle and don't eat any bread... then I get serious reflux! (Also food with uncooked peppers, chilli or ordinary). If you can get medicine to reduce the amount produced, perhaps there is something to increase it?
