Lar,
Thanks so much for sharing your story about GERD and indegestion. I'm definitely going to send this info. to my mother. She's not terribly good at following through on things but it's worth a try anyway. I had a couple of other questions on what you said:
> I was already taking a B-complex, and zinc and selenium and magnesium. All factor in, so you do need those. The key ingredients that I added were bromelain (1,000 mg a half hour after each meal), trimethylglycine (1,000 mg, twice daily....doesn't matter about the food bit), and B-12 (1,000 mcg once daily, not sure if it matters about food or not). (These are acute treatment amounts. Maintenance doses, once symptoms remit, as required.)
TMG? Not betaine hydrochloride?
> You may recall I mentioned Helicobacter pylori. If your mother has not been tested for that infection, she ought to be. The test is not very expensive ($80?), is non-invasive, and may indicate a treatable condition (antibiotic therapy) that can exacerbate indigestion/reflux.
I think she was tested for H. pylori. I'll check to be sure.

The Ox Bile extract in it shouldn't scare me at all?I was also wondering if taking these enzymes might cause the body to produce less of its own. Is there a chance of that?
