Study of the Ability of Betaine Hydrochloride to Increase Stomach Acid in Healthy Volunteers
May 14, 2013 updated by: University of California, San Francisco
Pilot Study Evaluating Gastric Re-acidification Using Betaine Hydrochloride in Healthy Volunteers With Pharmacologically Induced Hypochlorhydria
In this study the investigators will test a nutritional supplement called betaine hydrochloride to see if it can temporarily increase the stomach acid in healthy volunteers who have decreased stomach acid because they take a medicine called rabeprazole.

Detailed Description
Investigators will evaluate the extent and time course of gastric re-acidification after oral betaine HCl in healthy volunteers with pharmacologically-induced hypochlorhydria.
After betaine HCl dose, gastric pH will be continuously monitored for 2 hours.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Gastric pH After Administration of Betaine Hydrochloride (HCl)
Time Frame: 30 minutes
|
Gastric pH levels monitored with a Heidelberg pH capsule (HC) which sends real-time signals to a computer system that visually plots intestinal pH on a minute-by-minute basis.
When subject's pH remained above 4.0 for at least 15 minutes, a 1500 mg dose of betaine HCl was given orally with 90 mL of water, and gastric pH was continuously monitored for 2 hours.
