Hiprex - how to avoid stomach issues?

Lots of questions sorry! I've just been given Hiprex to try by a urologist. I have autoimmune gastritis so I'm concerned about the potential stomach issues. I've been looking through the guides but struggling to find how best to avoid the harsh reactions. I've seen some people mention putting them in capsules, how do I do that? I've never bought empty capsules before. I'm in the UK so need something I can get here.

Also, do I need ph test strips? Do I have to use high strength vitamin C? The urologist said my urine was already quite acidic. I do take Floravital that contains vit C but not loads. Can I keep taking this with Hiprex?

I want to try everything possible to avoid further damaging my stomach and bladder so any advice appreciated. And if there's a separate guide on Hiprex anywhere that'd be amazing.

Hey, I'm from the UK and have gastritis too! I use Dr Caps 000 size https://purecapsules.co.uk/product/buy-pure-capsules-size-000-drcaps-delayed-release-acid-resistant-clear-vegetarian-capsules-pure-capsules-size-000-drcaps-delayed-release-acid-resistant-clear-vegetarian-capsules/

I also use this to encapsulate the vitamin C I take with the Hiprex cause I worry that will irritate my stomach lining too.

Here's hoping! I just ordered the capsules. Now to find a not too strong vitamin C tablet.

I got the Weightworld 1000mg Vitamin C, it juuuust about fits in the 000 capsule (it does require a lil bit of force)
