My understand, if i'm correct, is that if you drop down on nicacin, and or tryptophan in your diet(that causes your body to make niacin) then your body goes into low stomach acid mode, and it moved toward pellagra a very serious disease. So in my case, as my stomach acid dropped, all of my b and other nutritional deficiencies became somewhat prominant too. But fact in point, from what i'm reading is the Low Niacin is my problem, and my reflux is the LES not closing over my acid levels being too LOW, not HIGH, so if I do follow this descriptions of high theraputic niacing(HI*flush freeniacin), my stomach acid may recover, and I maybe able to stop taking huge doses of HCL(betain HCL with PEPSIN) to make my LES close and my body to ingest food and get nutrition out of it!
 
I am afraid to add acid to my diet or to make my stomach produce more acid. I have read Melatonin helps with reflux and I don't know if that is somewhat related to the Tryptophan, as you describe. But I don't know about Niacin or hydrochloric acid.
I am taking medications (H2 blockers) that are supposed to cut down on stomach acid, not increase it. I don't know if other group merabers have feedback about this. Sorry I could not be of more help.
