kick it naturally I don't have a gall bladder . I have low stomach acid, what to do, to correct it> ? I can't go shoving ACV because of Erosive Esophagus. That's like throwing fuel on the fire , burn !!! To check out baking soda, test , I did that and once I took my first drink ( water & baking soda ), I burped, I waited 20 minutes and after the first burp, nothing afterwards. Serious I need to correct this. You know, your help is always appreciated and I forwards your website to families and friends or I texted them , your website address.

Hey creator of this video. Do you realize you are repeating yourself several times in the 9 mins video? this video could have been 3 mins. Not subscribing.
My grand father lived 94 years, never had this issue, did farming entire life & ate all greens & organic meats. Something is definitely going wrong with food we buy in market today.
Food isn't the whole story of our modern chronic illness. Lack of sunlight and too much artificial lights cause mitochondria dysfunction. Non-native EMF makes it even worse. Life begins with sunlight, water and magnetism
For those who want the point and not the verbal diarrhea so many of these content creators are addicted to: Betaine HCL can be useful. But it must be balanced with bile flow from the gall bladder, otherwise it can cause other problems down the line. So you must ensure you have BOTH, not just one. Timing is an important part of the issue. Click the video link at the end to hear/see how he recommends this balance might be acquired.
@@KickItNaturally how do you not register what this guy said? Please less verbal diarrhea, as he beautifully mentioned and ust give pure straightforward info.
@@tokemaryjj Simmer down partner! Both of you are completely overlooking the fact that most people have zero previous knowledge of the digestive process. The Presenter summarizes what is truly a much more complex process in a video that's under 10 minutes in an easy to understand and concise manner. Be grateful this information is being provided for free. Comments like yours are completely uncalled for and offer nothing meaningful or useful...to anyone.
I like their comments. I like the bottom line don’t criticize those who help me. I am a senior, and I don’t want to listen to a verbal sandwich because I feel compelled to listen to every word until the end and it’s exhausting.
Thank you so much! I wish everybody began with the outline like this and THEN does the more detailed explanation. I did what you suggested and hit the video link at the end. This dude is pretty good at explaining. Thanks for pointing out the video link. I subbed.
@@bellumomnium7561 try different # of hcl pills with meat. If you take 4 and your stomach hurts, take 3 with meat. If you take 3 and your stomach hurts, take 2. Take as little as possible to digest meat.
@@bellumomnium7561 In short, before you take Betaine HCL, you have to make sure your bile flow is smooth and the bile quality is good enough. Otherwise, the food going down from the stomach into the intestines will be too acidic without being neutralized by enough and good enough bile which is alkaline. God bless you.
@@bellumomnium7561 before you try to fix your low stomach acid with Betain HCL, you need to get your Bile to flow correctly (if that's a problem for you) If your Bile is too thick & sticky to flow correctly, or you don't have enough of it, additional Betain HCL can can create a lot of problems
I have seen lots of these old people who lived for long and they claim they have been eating this and that, some even smoked yet lived long. So it is not necessarily about what they eat made them live longer, it could have been genetics or other reasons, the answer is we just don't know.
Thank you for explaining this in more detail since the other channels promote using this without any warnings. Love your channel, keep the videos coming.
That was my case. Loose stools and HCL made it even worse. Thanks for explaining. TUDCA and Beet Flow plus Choline made my digestion normal. HCL is welcome back now!
Can I ask how you took these supplements? I just ordered Beet Flow and I just started taking TUDCA but not sure I am doing this right in order to get my digestion right. I have gallbladder sludge and need to thin out my bile.
@@KatieR1978 I’m taking 2 pills TUDCA on an empty stomach at least 30 min before food. Better if 1 hour. Beet Flow just together with food 🙂 Hope you’ll feel better. Speedy recovery
His explanation failed to mention the obvious: if someone is not producing the best bile to flow down into the small intestines to neutralize the acidic "clump" now entering therein, then why not take a bile capsule or Tudca WITH the meal to compensate for any lack thereof?
Sorry to be gross, but you said in another video that all the cool kids were looking at their poop, so… I tried a small amount of Himalayan salt & mineral drops in a glass of water last night before bed with a Cal/Mag/Zinc supplement (to support my bile production/flow?liver?) & vitamin D3. In the morning, I had apple cider vinegar & vitamin C (ascorbic acid) just before a (late) breakfast sandwich & small salad. Anyway, I’d been having pale & loose stools, but today it was dark and more well-formed. I feel that your advice helped me target how to help myself. Now, I want to take your course and get your book.
Great Job @Margaret Rattenbury , yeah, the course or the book will walk you through how to figure out the steps that are right for you. For some folks, improvements often have some ups and downs to them at first, so you'll learn how to look at measurements as well to know if you're on track or not. Let us know how it goes.
This is the video that put all the understanding together for my stomach acid issue... No-one hit this sequence that you have... And now I can proceed with more clarity...a GOD SEND I TELL YOU...THANK YOU ( P.S. and I watched a gazillion podcasts on the stomach acid issue ) Your Take is the Best Foundational Info Ever...🙋🌹👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
@@KickItNaturally But I felt that your explanation failed to mention the obvious: if someone is not producing the best bile to flow down into the small intestines to neutralize the acidic "clump" now entering therein, then why not tjust ake a bile capsule or Tudca WITH the meal to compensate for any forthcoming lack thereof at the exit ramp? If the "sizzle" that takes place between the acidic stomach acids and alkaline bile capsule happens in the stomach, then so what? Isn't breaking down the food a little bit more aggressively in the stomach with the introduction of the bile cap just one step ahead of the game before the "clump" makes its exit?
I could scream I’ve done so much research and been to doctors and mental hospitals about my stomach distension and finally I watch a video by Doctor Park. Everybody writes and he says that this supplement is the right thing and now you’re saying it isn’t so confusing

Well, it's complicated, isn't it? Trial and error, experimentation. Apparently my family has bile acid malabsorption issues (no real test for this in the US)-manifests as diarrhea. I thought I had escaped it until I was in my 40s and thought I'd just gotten food poisoning. Very, very long story short...I have to take cholestyramine (a prescription bile acid binder)-that only helps some. Thru trial and error I also figured out that I have to take digestive enzymes and a pretty significant amount of Betaine HCl also. Once I got the dosage right on the Betaine HCL, my rolling/churning gut quieted down and I started digesting/absorbing food again. I've tried cutting down on the dosage-my poop quality just slowly starts going bad and we are back to diarrhea again.

The title indicates, "without doing this". Question: Without doing what? The video didn't include the step on how to get the body to neutralize the acid.
I was yelling at the screen the whole video for the same reason. He never said it. Scare tactic. clickbate i guess. All the other vids on this topic didn’t do that and were just as informative.
His videos are like a scheme for a get-rich-quick setup. Only its for acid reflux, and you have to watch 10 of the videos he plugged into this one video for you to realize that you still didn't get any good information to use. 😂
Great video I learnt a lot of information regarding digestion that I didn't know, and he explained the information in the simplest way that a ordinary person can understand thank you sir
Okay, so my gallbladder was taken out years ago. I have horrible acid reflux. I do use ACV every morning. What do I do now with no gallbladder? I just bought some Betaine HCL.
This video goes over using tudca or ox bile: th-cam.com/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/w-d-xo.html and chapter 3 of my book goes over how to use HCL the right way and you can download that for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
I had H. PYLORI that caused 2 bleeding ulcers. Not fun. And on the Betaine...i appreciate this video. I have the Betaine in my Amazon cart but i dont think i will get it now. Ive been passing a lot of gallstones and i had a scan recently that showed my bile ducts are dilated and possibly damaged and my liver is slightly enlarged. I have an appt with new GI doc next month bc the last 5 were incompetent. Anyways thank you for the video. Im going to hold off on buying it bc i believe something is going on with bile flow
If you have liver issues look into Milk Thistle and Choline NAC and Dandelion. The best for that and possibly Tudca . The liver is one of the few organs that can repair itself with diatery changes eating healthy mostly plant based and reduce carbs and sugar and seed oils like vegetable oils and use extra virgin olive oil only . If you had H Pylori I suggest you get a SIBO breath test too as it could be another hidden culprit mistaken often for IBS
Great information. I no longer have a gall bladder but I take ox bile from time to time along with the HCL. Just curious how often I should take the ox bile? So many issues with GERD 😢
I still have my gb but it tends to get sludgy & I have stones, so I take the betaine HCl with my meals then I take an ox bile or 2 or Tudca, depending what I have, before bed on an empty stomach. This is what works for me. Don't take the ox bile & betaine at the same time, they will cancel each other out. I would take the betaine right before the meal, then wait 30-60 minutes before taking the ox bile.
Yeah I think what I got from it is that it may not be good for you. It varies from one person to the next. Guess the only way to find out is to try it. If side effects are felt then stop use.
these videos are great, fascinating and insightful. i feel quite educated, thanks. but i wish i could find more information about solving these problems with just food. i cant afford supplements and my symptoms arent mega so for me personally i need dietary changes i think, but info on food seems to concentrate on gerd, i dont have that, or any reflux but i need to know what to do to not get to that point. i know that celery juice and cabbage juice has been memtioned but i need to know more about foods in general. anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Interesting. I have been working hard on trying to figure out my fat digestion problem. For most of the time, I thought that it was a liver problem, because I couldn't tolerate fat. The fatty meal would sit in the stomach for up to 10 hours. Digestive enzymes helped a bit, but hadn't resolved the problem. Of course, I thought that the stomach function is involved as well. Recently, I suspected more, that it was not making enough acid. And since it potentially didn't make enough acid, the bile production might have not been made to adequate amounts as well. Having gone through the imaging of the abdominal area and the liver and biliary tree looking normal; and liver enzymes that still were not too high- I was not sure what to think. I was forced to pretty much avoid all fat for the most part. Having ruled out the pancreas's lipase for the most part, I thought that the liver might not make enough bile. I came across the video about the sphincter of Oddi. I massaged it for several minutes and it was like a light switch flipped right away. I started eating again- my fatty meals left the stomach in 2.5 hours at some point. My appetite returned. This made sense, the sphincter was closed, and was just sipping through tiny amount of bile. Since there was no bile, the stomach would not release food, so not to damage the tract. It would be released over the entire day. When the sphincter opened up, the stomach could release all of the contents now. Of course, the liver still felt strained after these fatty meals, but when I increase the artichoke leaf extract- this problem was pretty much gone. I kept massaging the sphincter every day, to make sure that it remained flexible and not in a spasm. But then I ate a bit too much fat, and the food sat in the stomach for 7 hours. I felt very fatigued. It was very disappointing after such success. I am guessing that the liver is still weak, in terms of providing adequate amounts of bile. But also, I may need to increase the stomach acid more, since I was low on iodine. I understand it is needed to make stomach acid. Do you have any thoughts about this? I am thinking of getting some milk thistle.
This oddi issue seems to be more about low stomach acid. It doesn't open correctly because the food getting acidified is what should signal it to open. But trouble with fats is USUALLY more about poor bile flow. Milk thistle is great to help a liver, but doesn't really do anything to thin bile so it will flow correctly. This video will show you how to thin the bile so it will flow correctly: th-cam.com/video/mBdV6ZT9woQ/w-d-xo.html It's really common when one side of digestion malfunctions, it will cause problems for the other side as well. Also, you would benefit from just going through our totally free digestion course to fully access what aspects of digestion need improvement and what steps will help you the most. that will vary from person to person.

@@KickItNaturally Thanks Tony. I will give it a look. I am not sure if you describe this in the book, but are you aware of any tests to see if the liver is making enough bile? The only thing I am aware of it the bile salt(or acid) test that looks in the blood. Also, is there a way to tell if there isn't enough bile vs. poor bile flow? I think the symptoms would be the same.
Hi @ImperialBear, I don't know of any tests, but this video on 10 signs can give you a lot of indications: th-cam.com/video/iYs-yamzxx0/w-d-xo.html and you can find 10-parameter urinalisys test strips on amazon and test your urine to see if you have bilirubin or urobilinogen on the dipstick. Either of those is a slam dunk for bile not flowing correctly. and I talk about that in my books and courses. and you are right that either problem can cause the issue, but I can tell you that after working with thousands of clients and book readers and course takers, I've seen about 4 people who needed help producing more bile. All the rest saw improvement when working to thin the bile. So I'm quite convinced. Be sure to check back in and let us know how it goes.
In your book you suggest to avoid taking starchy food with HCL. So what will be your recommendation to digest and create acidic stomach if you’re eating bread potato and protein together? Thank you
I have no gallbladder as of last year. I started taking digestive enzymes once daily with a meal. My problem is constipation. I quit taking the digestive enzymes and it has helped a little, but not enough - still constipated. I also have bloating, at times very uncomfortable and difficult to relieve. I am thinking that I most likely need Betaine HCL and should see if that helps.
Thank you for this video! You explain things so well and confirmed for me that my decision to switch a "digestive" supplement from one with just a bit of oxbile, betain hcl, etc for a "lipotropic" containing oxbile, choline, etc. (and no betain hcl) is the way to go. It was surprising to me to learn that a good poop rating per the Bristol stool chart does not mean a person is absorbing nutrients properly.
Sure. It's Integrative Therapeutics (the brand) Lipotropic Complex. It supports the liver, which is a big player in digestion etc. I don't take this every day but when I think I'm in trouble for not eating well (I guess that says something about my not-so-disciplined health routine). Like any supplement, starting slowly, I think is a good rule. I hope this one is good to you!@@delenearnold3595
Sir nice video. Instead of Betaine HCL, can v use Apple Cidar Vinegar 2 table spoon before every meal as it also suppliments With acid? So between these 2 which is better sir?
If a person just needs a little boost, ACV can help, but most people need more help than that. and here is our video on who should not use ACV th-cam.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/w-d-xo.html
I thought my whole issue was not having enough stomach acid from years of PPIs and tums, so when I started supplementing Betaine HCL, it felt like the burning was going beyond my stomach, more to my mid upper abdomen plus nausea about 3-4 hours later. This explains all the dehydration I feel (feel like I’m hungover even though I stopped drinking in 2018). More loose light colored stools.
@@toddgeorge1569 lucky. Honestly it did nothing for me. I’ve been taking the beet leaf extract since September and I haven’t felt different. I take it every day as well as the HCL and also do one beet flush a week with the coffee suppositories.
so what do you do if your gallbladder doesn't work and you also have low acid? Do you take the hcl and then bile salts? If so, is it best to take hcl with food and then wait 30 mins to take bile salts ? What is the best approach?
I've had great result from Thorne Bio-Gest, which contains both betaine HCl & bile salt. I'm wondering how these two work together since the former is acidic and the latter is alkaline. Does the neutralization process take place only when all the digestive process is finished in the stomach and the food is ready to go down to duodenum?
Very informative! Can we take both betaine hcl and ox bile together or first betaine hcl and after sometime ox bile Can you please share how much gap is required
I had gas bloating & Body odor after eating food, my doctor RX me Omeprazole for acidity & it helped me, but I never got heart burn, do I have low acid or high acid.
right in the middle...take few bites (after chewing your food THOROUGHLY because digestion begins with the mouth enzymes) then take your betain/HCL and finish your meal.
6:31 Both are needed. Betaine HCl will make the stomach acid enough for the enzymes to work properly. Specially the enzymes that break protein, they need a very acidic pH to work.
Should we NOT take Betaine HCL WITH PEPSIN? If not, can you please explain why? Thanks! Got the Beet Flow but the Betaine HCL I already have on hans, has PEPSIN.
This video may be the answer to my unusual question. I had to take two different antibiotics for a UTI in January, so I started taking a probiotic and have been eating kefir, sauerkraut & bone broth every day. I never really had digestive issues except for the fact that I have frequent bowel movements every day, but it’s not diarrhea, so I don’t know if that’s just normal for me or not. But since all this, I’ve been noticing undigested food in my stool, occasional heartburn & occasional bloating, so I decided to do the test where you put baking soda in water and drink it and see how long it takes to burp. If it takes longer than three minutes it’s supposed to mean you low stomach acid. Well, it took me eight minutes to burp. So I decided to take betaine hydrochloride supplements. Occasionally, I get an irritated bladder. It’s triggered from certain food like raw onions or spicy food food. Some people also have this condition and acidic foods bother them, so I stay away from them to be safe. So my question is, I was afraid taking the hcl might cause bladder irritation? Do you think taking the beet root supplements could avoid that? Like would it neutralize the acid before it gets to my bladder? I know I could find out the hard way, but I kind of didn’t wanna go that route. Lol
We can't give advice for specific situations, but plain beet root won't help improve bile flow. This video goes over the steps we use to thin out the bile so it can neutralize acids leaving the stomach: th-cam.com/video/mBdV6ZT9woQ/w-d-xo.html But if you're seeing undigested food in your stool, your best bet could be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through figuring out which aspects of digestion are not working correctly and what steps will help you the most.

I take HCL and it has helped my indigestion A LOT. I have normal stools occasionally, but regularly have stools like rabbit poo / pellets. Very often in fact. What happens if I take bile salts or Beet Flow to thin bile but don't actually need it, will it cause my issues?
I'm not allowed to give advice on specific situations in video comments. But we normally only use ox bile if someone has lost their gallbladder, and this video explains why we don't let any of our clients use HCL without using Beet Flow if that gives you any insights: th-cam.com/video/2JuuZ5X0vF0/w-d-xo.html
HI @Shar, it really is if you don't understand how the body works. But if you can learn more, it makes figuring everything out a lot easier.

@KickItNaturally thanks I ordered hcl and now something for bacteria... been on omeprazole for a month and it doesn't work at all. Did a baking soda drink test and didn't burp at all. You are very helpful.
Hi!Can I take beet flow(on an empty stomac) and HCl (during the meal) or first I need to fix the problem with bile to flow correctly and then to start taking HCl?

So I’m finishing up a HCL product with ginger and licorice root in it. Do you think this is alkalizing the stomach? It supposed to be a good product and isn’t cheap. But I’m wondering about these extra ingredients…
We try to avoid HCL brands with ingredients like that. Here is the one we use: naturalreference.com/products/betaine-hcl and HCL is pretty cheap, so if your is expensive, it might have a lot of ingredients that could be working against you.
I have had “silent” reflux for a period of time I’m not even sure. It then lead to periods of indigestion. After awhile, it would cause stomach pain with foods I normally ate. Didn’t even know it was reflux. Until in late March I had awful abdominal pain that didn’t really subside. My dr started me on omeprazole because I was getting reflux into my esophagus, back of my mouth and was spitting it out too. Ever since then, I’ve had repeated bouts of indigestion and nausea, early satiety, decreased appetite but not vomiting. Stools have been mostly normal. My reflux has gotten better but I’m worried about it slowing down my digestion or creating unnecessary gas/pains, indigestion due to too low stomach acid. I’ve been on omeprazole for 8 weeks and I want to get off of it, I’m worried about rebound hyperacidity so I’m tapering down slowly. This video was very helpful to better understand
If low acid is reason for reflux, why oranges/coffee caused my reflux? And why do we need to avoid them later too since reflux seems wont cure that quickly?

I’m confused what to treat first. In your video about bile you said treat constipation before doing a liver cleanse. My constipation is from low HCL. But you are saying not to take HCL unless the bile is flowing correctly which mine is not. So then what do you treat first? Same with your video on sibo being a cause for low HCL. How then do you treat sibo to correct the low HCL if you are constipated since you don’t want to do a sibo cleanse while constipated 🤔 Would be super helpful to have a video on what to treat first when low HCL, sluggish bile and constipation are all an issue.

I dont have indigestion or acid reflux but i have indigested food in stools, pale stools and many deficiencies although i eat a healthy diet and i have many symptoms like brain fog, constant bitter taste in the mouth, weight loss, feeling tired all the time and i feel nauseated alot so im hoping hyrochloric acid with pepsin will help.

Hello, I really appreciate your Contant and have watched several videos now. Are used to take a lot of HCL and OX BILE to help with my digestive issues. However, I think the underlying issue of the sludge in my bile not flowing properly has been the core issue. I stick to a fairly strict ketogenic diet and try to have my feeding window glass for around 8 to 10 hours a day. I just ordered Beet flow from the company you recommended….. how should I take this? Is it something I take before during or after meals? Thank you
Hi @Destroying Anxiety, yeah, using ox bile can help digest fats with that meal, but doesn't do anything to thin bile out so you can restore that natural bile function. I can't give specific advice to someone who is not a client, but chapters 3 and 4 of my book go over how to use digestive supplements and figure out what would be best for you and your body chemistry. You can download the book for free here and just skip to chapter 3: kickitnaturally.com/free If you're destroying anxiety, I hope you've seen our video on the most common causes for anxiety here: th-cam.com/video/UokNi-R9iLk/w-d-xo.html and if you're using keto, you might want to watch this video on the different types of people who might need to fix some issues to keep keto from causing some problems.

@@KickItNaturally brilliant thank you for your response! I struggle with indigestion and ordered beet flow and read the chapters in the book. I used to take HCL alone and still have pretty bad reflux(thinking it could be a bile issue). I know you mentioned advice with clients but is beet flow ok to take alone without HCL? I have been trying bulk for a year(healthy way) and up around 20 pounds…however the ingestion and acid reflux issues have slowed me down a bit. Hoping bile flow improvements will help👍🏻
Hey@Detrroying Anxiety, People report taking Beet flow without HCL all the time when their acid function appears to be working correctly. But if a person is having indigestion and reflux, you'll see that those are two of the biggest signs we talk about in our video for 10 signs of low stomach acid here th-cam.com/video/W-sDb7lzFI4/w-d-xo.html just keep in mind that you may also need to take steps to lower any bacterial overgrowth like we talk about in this video: th-cam.com/video/RjPdowTvD6I/w-d-xo.html
Took the class. Read a lot of the book. I am too broke to buy the supplements or eat right. Had 3 abdominal surgeries . Had a bowel obstruction when I was 14. Always thinking that I am just waiting for adhesions to choke off my bowels and kill me. Probably had sibo like my entire life.
Great explanation on how our digestive system works. My wife is 62 and unfortunately had her gallbladder removed because of stones back in early 1990's. Since then our doctors have NEVER given her anything to control stomach acid and she has been suffering for many years and been on Gavescone which is an alkaline and this unfortunately caused acid reflux and the doctor recommended she take more nasty pink liquid to combat this but it actually made her worse. My wife has very loose stools or acidic yellow liquid. Our health system is rubbish I'm afraid so I did some research and now when she suffers acid reflux I give her apple cider vinegar. And to help with her stomach acid I give her TUDCA & Choline together straight after her meal and now her stools are regular and normal for the last 3 weeks.

I always supplement Beatine HCL along with TUDCA and I see no signs (explained in the other video) about bile flow issue And on 2 meals of 4 I use digestive herbs that increase (alos) bile flow
Hi thank you for your video, I just have a question, is it possible to take betaine with omeprazole? I’m currently taking 40mg of omeprazole and I haven’t seen any improvement. Should I stop immediately then start with betaine? I believe my stomach acid is low. Thanks

So you should consider taking BeetFlow and monitoring your bile before supplementing HCL? I will take the course, started on your book also. When can you consider it safe to take HCL then?
Yeah, @Jan, if someone is having significant signs of poor bile flow like loose or light colored stools, I will have them fix that first. But as long as someone is taking steps, like Beet Flow, to thin the bile, they can usually test out the HCL to see if it makes stool loose or anything like that. The book and the course walk you through that part so let us know how it goes.

For those who want the point and not the verbal diarrhea so many of these content creators are addicted to:
Betaine HCL can be useful. But it must be balanced with bile flow from the gall bladder, otherwise it can cause other problems down the line. So you must ensure you have BOTH, not just one.
Timing is an important part of the issue.

If you take 3 and your stomach hurts, take 2.
Take as little as possible to digest meat.
@@bellumomnium7561 In short, before you take Betaine HCL, you have to make sure your bile flow is smooth and the bile quality is good enough. Otherwise, the food going down from the stomach into the intestines will be too acidic without being neutralized by enough and good enough bile which is alkaline. God bless you.
@@bellumomnium7561 before you try to fix your low stomach acid with Betain HCL, you need to get your Bile to flow correctly (if that's a problem for you) If your Bile is too thick & sticky to flow correctly, or you don't have enough of it, additional Betain HCL can can create a lot of problems

That was my case. Loose stools and HCL made it even worse. Thanks for explaining. TUDCA and Beet Flow plus Choline made my digestion normal. HCL is welcome back now!
Can I ask how you took these supplements? I just ordered Beet Flow and I just started taking TUDCA but not sure I am doing this right in order to get my digestion right. I have gallbladder sludge and need to thin out my bile.
I am also suffering from indigestion problem
When I eat raw vegetables and juice it comes out with stools
Does HCl works in such case ?
@@KatieR1978 I’m taking 2 pills TUDCA on an empty stomach at least 30 min before food. Better if 1 hour. Beet Flow just together with food 🙂

@@MeeraGena not sure someone can tell you until you try.
His explanation failed to mention the obvious: if someone is not producing the best bile to flow down into the small intestines to neutralize the acidic "clump" now entering therein, then why not take a bile capsule or Tudca WITH the meal to compensate for any lack thereof?
This makes sense and probably one of the reasons the HCL gastro acid. My gall bladder has been dysfunctional for a while as well.
Here is our video on low functioning gallbladders: th-cam.com/video/Xo6CSAI4Lr0/w-d-xo.html
Sorry to be gross, but you said in another video that all the cool kids were looking at their poop, so…
I tried a small amount of Himalayan salt & mineral drops in a glass of water last night before bed with a Cal/Mag/Zinc supplement (to support my bile production/flow?liver?) & vitamin D3.
In the morning, I had apple cider vinegar & vitamin C (ascorbic acid) just before a (late) breakfast sandwich & small salad. Anyway, I’d been having pale & loose stools, but today it was dark and more well-formed. I feel that your advice helped me target how to help myself. Now, I want to take your course and get your book.
Great Job @Margaret Rattenbury , yeah, the course or the book will walk you through how to figure out the steps that are right for you.

Actually, thank you, I really appreciate it.
@@KickItNaturally But I felt that your explanation failed to mention the obvious: if someone is not producing the best bile to flow down into the small intestines to neutralize the acidic "clump" now entering therein, then why not tjust ake a bile capsule or Tudca WITH the meal to compensate for any forthcoming lack thereof at the exit ramp? If the "sizzle" that takes place between the acidic stomach acids and alkaline bile capsule happens in the stomach, then so what? Isn't breaking down the food a little bit more aggressively in the stomach with the introduction of the bile cap just one step ahead of the game before the "clump" makes its exit?
this video is so important!
i really wish every doctor was as knowledgeable as you are but its just a wish so we have to turn into our own doctors ..

Thank you for this information very helpful
Well, it's complicated, isn't it? Trial and error, experimentation. Apparently my family has bile acid malabsorption issues (no real test for this in the US)-manifests as diarrhea. I thought I had escaped it until I was in my 40s and thought I'd just gotten food poisoning. Very, very long story short...I have to take cholestyramine (a prescription bile acid binder)-that only helps some. Thru trial and error I also figured out that I have to take digestive enzymes and a pretty significant amount of Betaine HCl also. Once I got the dosage right on the Betaine HCL, my rolling/churning gut quieted down and I started digesting/absorbing food again. I've tried cutting down on the dosage-my poop quality just slowly starts going bad and we are back to diarrhea again.

Very good video.
I had H. PYLORI that caused 2 bleeding ulcers. Not fun. And on the Betaine...i appreciate this video. I have the Betaine in my Amazon cart but i dont think i will get it now. Ive been passing a lot of gallstones and i had a scan recently that showed my bile ducts are dilated and possibly damaged and my liver is slightly enlarged. I have an appt with new GI doc next month bc the last 5 were incompetent. Anyways thank you for the video. Im going to hold off on buying it bc i believe something is going on with bile flow
Oh no! I hope this gi will help you figure out what’s going on and recover! Wishing you well❤
If you have liver issues look into Milk Thistle and Choline NAC and Dandelion. The best for that and possibly Tudca . The liver is one of the few organs that can repair itself with diatery changes eating healthy mostly plant based and reduce carbs and sugar and seed oils like vegetable oils and use extra virgin olive oil only .
If you had H Pylori I suggest you get a SIBO breath test too as it could be another hidden culprit mistaken often for IBS
Great information. I no longer have a gall bladder but I take ox bile from time to time along with the HCL. Just curious how often I should take the ox bile? So many issues with GERD 😢
I still have my gb but it tends to get sludgy & I have stones, so I take the betaine HCl with my meals then I take an ox bile or 2 or Tudca, depending what I have, before bed on an empty stomach. This is what works for me. Don't take the ox bile & betaine at the same time, they will cancel each other out. I would take the betaine right before the meal, then wait 30-60 minutes before taking the ox bile.
I didn't understand the point you are trying to make is Betaine HCL bad or good for you?
He also didn’t say what you are supposed to do to help with the neutralizing part. Doesn’t make sense.
Yeah I think what I got from it is that it may not be good for you. It varies from one person to the next. Guess the only way to find out is to try it. If side effects are felt then stop use.
these videos are great, fascinating and insightful. i feel quite educated, thanks. but i wish i could find more information about solving these problems with just food. i cant afford supplements and my symptoms arent mega so for me personally i need dietary changes i think, but info on food seems to concentrate on gerd, i dont have that, or any reflux but i need to know what to do to not get to that point. i know that celery juice and cabbage juice has been memtioned but i need to know more about foods in general. anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Outstanding educational video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting. I have been working hard on trying to figure out my fat digestion problem. For most of the time, I thought that it was a liver problem, because I couldn't tolerate fat. The fatty meal would sit in the stomach for up to 10 hours. Digestive enzymes helped a bit, but hadn't resolved the problem. Of course, I thought that the stomach function is involved as well. Recently, I suspected more, that it was not making enough acid. And since it potentially didn't make enough acid, the bile production might have not been made to adequate amounts as well.
Having gone through the imaging of the abdominal area and the liver and biliary tree looking normal; and liver enzymes that still were not too high- I was not sure what to think. I was forced to pretty much avoid all fat for the most part. Having ruled out the pancreas's lipase for the most part, I thought that the liver might not make enough bile. I came across the video about the sphincter of Oddi. I massaged it for several minutes and it was like a light switch flipped right away. I started eating again- my fatty meals left the stomach in 2.5 hours at some point. My appetite returned. This made sense, the sphincter was closed, and was just sipping through tiny amount of bile. Since there was no bile, the stomach would not release food, so not to damage the tract. It would be released over the entire day. When the sphincter opened up, the stomach could release all of the contents now. Of course, the liver still felt strained after these fatty meals, but when I increase the artichoke leaf extract- this problem was pretty much gone. I kept massaging the sphincter every day, to make sure that it remained flexible and not in a spasm. But then I ate a bit too much fat, and the food sat in the stomach for 7 hours. I felt very fatigued. It was very disappointing after such success. I am guessing that the liver is still weak, in terms of providing adequate amounts of bile. But also, I may need to increase the stomach acid more, since I was low on iodine. I understand it is needed to make stomach acid.
Do you have any thoughts about this? I am thinking of getting some milk thistle.
This oddi issue seems to be more about low stomach acid. It doesn't open correctly because the food getting acidified is what should signal it to open. But trouble with fats is USUALLY more about poor bile flow. Milk thistle is great to help a liver, but doesn't really do anything to thin bile so it will flow correctly.
This video will show you how to thin the bile so it will flow correctly: th-cam.com/video/mBdV6ZT9woQ/w-d-xo.html
It's really common when one side of digestion malfunctions, it will cause problems for the other side as well.

@@KickItNaturally Thanks Tony. I will give it a look. I am not sure if you describe this in the book, but are you aware of any tests to see if the liver is making enough bile? The only thing I am aware of it the bile salt(or acid) test that looks in the blood. Also, is there a way to tell if there isn't enough bile vs. poor bile flow? I think the symptoms would be the same.
Hi @ImperialBear, I don't know of any tests, but this video on 10 signs can give you a lot of indications:
th-cam.com/video/iYs-yamzxx0/w-d-xo.html
and you can find 10-parameter urinalisys test strips on amazon and test your urine to see if you have bilirubin or urobilinogen on the dipstick. Either of those is a slam dunk for bile not flowing correctly. and I talk about that in my books and courses.
and you are right that either problem can cause the issue, but I can tell you that after working with thousands of clients and book readers and course takers, I've seen about 4 people who needed help producing more bile. All the rest saw improvement when working to thin the bile. So I'm quite convinced.
Be sure to check back in and let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally Thanks, will do.

How long do I have to take it? Will I have to take it forever?
Im taking Zypan because my digestion is so messed up…possibly from my gallstones and fatty liver. Ip hope that Zypan will help my Hiatal Hernia too.
In your book you suggest to avoid taking starchy food with HCL. So what will be your recommendation to digest and create acidic stomach if you’re eating bread potato and protein together? Thank you
Just don't eat it that way.
🤣🤣 what the hell kind of question was that lol
What do you have the HCL is warning?
I have no gallbladder as of last year. I started taking digestive enzymes once daily with a meal. My problem is constipation. I quit taking the digestive enzymes and it has helped a little, but not enough - still constipated. I also have bloating, at times very uncomfortable and difficult to relieve. I am thinking that I most likely need Betaine HCL and should see if that helps.
Kefir 🥛
L reuteri probiotic for 3 months twice daily.
Did it worked
since my gall bladder removal bile flows in a constant stream through the day. is Betaine HCL supplementation advised or not? thanks a million
We talk about this in this video: th-cam.com/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video! You explain things so well and confirmed for me that my decision to switch a "digestive" supplement from one with just a bit of oxbile, betain hcl, etc for a "lipotropic" containing oxbile, choline, etc. (and no betain hcl) is the way to go. It was surprising to me to learn that a good poop rating per the Bristol stool chart does not mean a person is absorbing nutrients properly.
I can see some undigested food in my stools
Especially when I take raw salads and beetroot juice
Does HCl work in such cases
Could you share what supplement you use that has the ox bile, choline in it, or do you just take them separately? Thanks
Sure. It's Integrative Therapeutics (the brand) Lipotropic Complex. It supports the liver, which is a big player in digestion etc. I don't take this every day but when I think I'm in trouble for not eating well (I guess that says something about my not-so-disciplined health routine). Like any supplement, starting slowly, I think is a good rule. I hope this one is good to you!@@delenearnold3595
Sir nice video. Instead of Betaine HCL, can v use Apple Cidar Vinegar 2 table spoon before every meal as it also suppliments With acid? So between these 2 which is better sir?
If a person just needs a little boost, ACV can help, but most people need more help than that. and here is our video on who should not use ACV th-cam.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/w-d-xo.html
There are ways to boost stomach acid, like avoid overeating and avoid drinking any liquids during meals...drink water in between meals...
These are valid steps, but not very effective ones. Most people need more aggressive steps.
I thought my whole issue was not having enough stomach acid from years of PPIs and tums, so when I started supplementing Betaine HCL, it felt like the burning was going beyond my stomach, more to my mid upper abdomen plus nausea about 3-4 hours later. This explains all the dehydration I feel (feel like I’m hungover even though I stopped drinking in 2018). More loose light colored stools.
Go to ur doctor immediately...pale loose stools pancreatitis etc..etc..
Abigail Go to your doctor .
@@lindamahrer7067 I’m good. Doctors are zero help. I’ll continue taking beer flow and bile acid.
I had the same exact issue, what helped me was beat leaf extract to help bile. Game changer for me..
@@toddgeorge1569 lucky. Honestly it did nothing for me. I’ve been taking the beet leaf extract since September and I haven’t felt different. I take it every day as well as the HCL and also do one beet flush a week with the coffee suppositories.
so what do you do if your gallbladder doesn't work and you also have low acid? Do you take the hcl and then bile salts? If so, is it best to take hcl with food and then wait 30 mins to take bile salts ? What is the best approach?
Only take HCl
I've had great result from Thorne Bio-Gest, which contains both betaine HCl & bile salt. I'm wondering how these two work together since the former is acidic and the latter is alkaline. Does the neutralization process take place only when all the digestive process is finished in the stomach and the food is ready to go down to duodenum?
So is it better to supplement with TUDCA before Betaine HCL?
Here is our video on adjusting dose and timing: th-cam.com/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/w-d-xo.html

I had gas bloating & Body odor after eating food, my doctor RX me Omeprazole for acidity & it helped me, but I never got heart burn, do I have low acid or high acid.
I dont have a gall bladder. Should i take this. Betaine HCL?
When is the best time to take hcl supplement before during or after your meal?
right in the middle...take few bites (after chewing your food THOROUGHLY because digestion begins with the mouth enzymes) then take your betain/HCL and finish your meal.
Your videos never gets bored. Great as usual.
Appreciate it greatly, @Halfers.
So how do we ensure bile flow happens and netrilozing conntinues?
Question. What, if any, is the difference between how Betaine may break food down and how digestive enzymes may break food down?
6:31 Both are needed. Betaine HCl will make the stomach acid enough for the enzymes to work properly. Specially the enzymes that break protein, they need a very acidic pH to work.
Should we NOT take Betaine HCL WITH PEPSIN? If not, can you please explain why? Thanks! Got the Beet Flow but the Betaine HCL I already have on hans, has PEPSIN.
I explain this more in this video: th-cam.com/video/0Yu0vjYAUUo/w-d-xo.html
This video may be the answer to my unusual question. I had to take two different antibiotics for a UTI in January, so I started taking a probiotic and have been eating kefir, sauerkraut & bone broth every day. I never really had digestive issues except for the fact that I have frequent bowel movements every day, but it’s not diarrhea, so I don’t know if that’s just normal for me or not. But since all this, I’ve been noticing undigested food in my stool, occasional heartburn & occasional bloating, so I decided to do the test where you put baking soda in water and drink it and see how long it takes to burp. If it takes longer than three minutes it’s supposed to mean you low stomach acid. Well, it took me eight minutes to burp. So I decided to take betaine hydrochloride supplements.
Occasionally, I get an irritated bladder. It’s triggered from certain food like raw onions or spicy food food. Some people also have this condition and acidic foods bother them, so I stay away from them to be safe.
So my question is, I was afraid taking the hcl might cause bladder irritation? Do you think taking the beet root supplements could avoid that? Like would it neutralize the acid before it gets to my bladder? I know I could find out the hard way, but I kind of didn’t wanna go that route. Lol
We can't give advice for specific situations, but plain beet root won't help improve bile flow. This video goes over the steps we use to thin out the bile so it can neutralize acids leaving the stomach: th-cam.com/video/mBdV6ZT9woQ/w-d-xo.html

But we normally only use ox bile if someone has lost their gallbladder, and this video explains why we don't let any of our clients use HCL without using Beet Flow if that gives you any insights: th-cam.com/video/2JuuZ5X0vF0/w-d-xo.html
How do we know exactly what is wrong with us? It’s all guessing. 🙏🏻 Thanks
HI @Shar, it really is if you don't understand how the body works. But if you can learn more, it makes figuring everything out a lot easier. If you don't have time to learn, you get help figuring it out. But my book that you can get for free in the description of this video will walk you through a lot of the steps to figure out a lot of things. It gets pretty fun.
So would you recommend the COURSE or the BOOK for best results? Also, I signed up for one of them, but started running into glitches with them, so I stopped watching. I’ll try again. Thanks!
They are both the same information. Just depends on which way you learn better. If you run into problems watching videos, it is likely a browser problem because our videos are hosted on Vimeo. If you keep having trouble, use the contact us button and send us a link of the page you're having trouble with and let us know exactly what is happening and we can help.
@@KickItNaturally oh they’re the same, lol! Either read or watch..got it👍🏻
Ok thank you!
Look forward to hearing how it goes. The book actually covers a lot more health and weight loss topics, but the main thoughts are covered in the course.
Can we use both Betaine hcl and Ox Bile at same time ?
In case you miss this on the other comment: th-cam.com/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/w-d-xo.html
I tried taking apple cider vinegar and it burned me, does that mean I have to heal first before taking Hcl??
I had the same issue however I found apple cider capsules and can take them with no problem. I take an HCL as well during meals. Really helps….
trying to go natural! Is it safe to temporarily take Betaine with PPI for serious GERD and Hernia! I also fast, been slowly fixing diet, taking TUDCA bile salts & papaya enzymes. What do you think? are these 2 unsafe temp?
I can't give specific one-on-one advice for specific situations, but we talk about these types of steps in our totally free digestion course here: kickitnaturally.com/course
and we talk about improving hiatel hernias here: th-cam.com/video/J4GICcjT9Tw/w-d-xo.html
Let us know how it goes.
so How would you know if you had a misleading normal stool?
If there are other digestive symptoms showing up or other signs of poor nutrient assimilation, that could be a sign.
@KickItNaturally thanks I ordered hcl and now something for bacteria... been on omeprazole for a month and it doesn't work at all. Did a baking soda drink test and didn't burp at all. You are very helpful.
@KickItNaturally I have silent reflux (tight throat, sensation of something in throat, clearing and constant small burps)
Hi!Can I take beet flow(on an empty stomac) and HCl (during the meal) or first I need to fix the problem with bile to flow correctly and then to start taking HCl?
Hi , I can't give specific advice like that here, but chapter 3 and 4 of my book go over insights for these topics and you can download that free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
Thanks. I didn’t understand the process and I have taken Betaine HCL. 😬
Glad it was helpful.
And? Didn’t work? How did you normalize the bile?
So I’m finishing up a HCL product with ginger and licorice root in it. Do you think this is alkalizing the stomach? It supposed to be a good product and isn’t cheap. But I’m wondering about these extra ingredients…
We try to avoid HCL brands with ingredients like that. Here is the one we use: naturalreference.com/products/betaine-hcl
and HCL is pretty cheap, so if your is expensive, it might have a lot of ingredients that could be working against you.
@@KickItNaturally thank you!!!
Helpful thank you
You're welcome!
I have had “silent” reflux for a period of time I’m not even sure. It then lead to periods of indigestion. After awhile, it would cause stomach pain with foods I normally ate. Didn’t even know it was reflux. Until in late March I had awful abdominal pain that didn’t really subside. My dr started me on omeprazole because I was getting reflux into my esophagus, back of my mouth and was spitting it out too. Ever since then, I’ve had repeated bouts of indigestion and nausea, early satiety, decreased appetite but not vomiting. Stools have been mostly normal. My reflux has gotten better but I’m worried about it slowing down my digestion or creating unnecessary gas/pains, indigestion due to too low stomach acid. I’ve been on omeprazole for 8 weeks and I want to get off of it, I’m worried about rebound hyperacidity so I’m tapering down slowly. This video was very helpful to better understand
Carbonated citrate magnesium supplement and bone broth. Kefir 🥛
@@thankyou4416did this heal reflux for you?
How are you feeling now? Also have you checked your gallbladder?
If low acid is reason for reflux, why oranges/coffee caused my reflux? And why do we need to avoid them later too since reflux seems wont cure that quickly?
I'm now even more confused than before! The only thing I understood was the speedy spoken names of the body parts 😕

Assuming someone has their gallbladder, how do you determine if your bile has become "sludge like" or if your body isn't producing enough bile?
Here is our video on 10 signs of poor bile flow: th-cam.com/video/iYs-yamzxx0/w-d-xo.html
I’m confused what to treat first.
In your video about bile you said treat constipation before doing a liver cleanse.
My constipation is from low HCL. But you are saying not to take HCL unless the bile is flowing correctly which mine is not.
So then what do you treat first?
Same with your video on sibo being a cause for low HCL. How then do you treat sibo to correct the low HCL if you are constipated since you don’t want to do a sibo cleanse while constipated 🤔
Would be super helpful to have a video on what to treat first when low HCL, sluggish bile and constipation are all an issue.

*Emilie Rose:* How did you move forward from this post? I am dealing with chronic constipation as well, and I recently started doing enzymes and betaine hydrochloric acid.
Is Itopride similar to Betane HCL?
no
How soon after taking Betaine should u take ox bile to neutralize?

If I wanted to up my protein with whey in a meal, how long to wait to not dilute my stomach acid I need to digest - or other thoughts?
I dont have indigestion or acid reflux but i have indigested food in stools, pale stools and many deficiencies although i eat a healthy diet and i have many symptoms like brain fog, constant bitter taste in the mouth, weight loss, feeling tired all the time and i feel nauseated alot so im hoping hyrochloric acid with pepsin will help.

Hey Paula
I am suffering from the same issues
Did u tried HCl ?
@@MeeraGena i did but no improvement. I am now taking Swedish bitters. Early days though x
check into mold poisoning as well.
Do you have a video that covers this info but including a missing gallbladder? Dig the info but i feel like for me more info is required
These are the steps we use instead of improving bile flow when the gallbladder is gone: th-cam.com/video/jJ_30UK_G0E/w-d-xo.html

Hello, I really appreciate your Contant and have watched several videos now. Are used to take a lot of HCL and OX BILE to help with my digestive issues. However, I think the underlying issue of the sludge in my bile not flowing properly has been the core issue. I stick to a fairly strict ketogenic diet and try to have my feeding window glass for around 8 to 10 hours a day. I just ordered Beet flow from the company you recommended….. how should I take this? Is it something I take before during or after meals? Thank you
Hi @Destroying Anxiety, yeah, using ox bile can help digest fats with that meal, but doesn't do anything to thin bile out so you can restore that natural bile function.
I can't give specific advice to someone who is not a client, but chapters 3 and 4 of my book go over how to use digestive supplements and figure out what would be best for you and your body chemistry. You can download the book for free here and just skip to chapter 3: kickitnaturally.com/free
If you're destroying anxiety, I hope you've seen our video on the most common causes for anxiety here: th-cam.com/video/UokNi-R9iLk/w-d-xo.html
and if you're using keto, you might want to watch this video on the different types of people who might need to fix some issues to keep keto from causing some problems. Even long term after keto worked well initially. It's some great insights to have in your pocket. th-cam.com/video/YXX-oYWw79Y/w-d-xo.html
Please come back and let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally brilliant thank you for your response! I struggle with indigestion and ordered beet flow and read the chapters in the book. I used to take HCL alone and still have pretty bad reflux(thinking it could be a bile issue). I know you mentioned advice with clients but is beet flow ok to take alone without HCL? I have been trying bulk for a year(healthy way) and up around 20 pounds…however the ingestion and acid reflux issues have slowed me down a bit. Hoping bile flow improvements will help👍🏻
Hey@Detrroying Anxiety, People report taking Beet flow without HCL all the time when their acid function appears to be working correctly. But if a person is having indigestion and reflux, you'll see that those are two of the biggest signs we talk about in our video for 10 signs of low stomach acid here th-cam.com/video/W-sDb7lzFI4/w-d-xo.html
just keep in mind that you may also need to take steps to lower any bacterial overgrowth like we talk about in this video: th-cam.com/video/RjPdowTvD6I/w-d-xo.html
@@destroyinganxietykefir 🥛and carbonated citrate magnesium supplement. Bone broth. All of this will help you in the best way possible . Natural
Took the class. Read a lot of the book. I am too broke to buy the supplements or eat right. Had 3 abdominal surgeries . Had a bowel obstruction when I was 14. Always thinking that I am just waiting for adhesions to choke off my bowels and kill me. Probably had sibo like my entire life.
Great explanation on how our digestive system works. My wife is 62 and unfortunately had her gallbladder removed because of stones back in early 1990's. Since then our doctors have NEVER given her anything to control stomach acid and she has been suffering for many years and been on Gavescone which is an alkaline and this unfortunately caused acid reflux and the doctor recommended she take more nasty pink liquid to combat this but it actually made her worse. My wife has very loose stools or acidic yellow liquid. Our health system is rubbish I'm afraid so I did some research and now when she suffers acid reflux I give her apple cider vinegar. And to help with her stomach acid I give her TUDCA & Choline together straight after her meal and now her stools are regular and normal for the last 3 weeks. Should I introduce TMG / Betaine or leave it as is.
Great job on finding your own answers. Here are the steps we see help this situation the most: th-cam.com/video/jJ_30UK_G0E/w-d-xo.html
But she may also need to go through our free digestion course to figure out what steps will be best for her. You can find that here: kickitnaturally.com/course
So do you want to take this with pepsin or without And why
chapter 3 of my book explains why we don't use pepsin. doesn't mean it's bad, but you want to understand how to use HCL the right way. You can downaload the book for free here and jump to chapter 3: kickitnaturally.com/free
I always supplement Beatine HCL along with TUDCA and I see no signs (explained in the other video) about bile flow issue
And on 2 meals of 4 I use digestive herbs that increase (alos) bile flow
Which herbs do you use for bile flow?
What happens if you have H Pylori, does it feed on HCL?
h. pylori can feed on chloride, but our opinion is that it can't feed on HCL.
Hi thank you for your video, I just have a question, is it possible to take betaine with omeprazole? I’m currently taking 40mg of omeprazole and I haven’t seen any improvement. Should I stop immediately then start with betaine? I believe my stomach acid is low. Thanks

HCL only helps my digestion. No bad signs for me.
What if I am coming off of a PPI? Cutting dose over a few weeks. Should I wait to take HCL?

So you should consider taking BeetFlow and monitoring your bile before supplementing HCL? I will take the course, started on your book also. When can you consider it safe to take HCL then?
Yeah, @Jan, if someone is having significant signs of poor bile flow like loose or light colored stools, I will have them fix that first. But as long as someone is taking steps, like Beet Flow, to thin the bile, they can usually test out the HCL to see if it makes stool loose or anything like that. The book and the course walk you through that part so let us know how it goes.
I do not have my Gallbladder anymore .. so , how will this process work in my Body ?
Here is our video with steps for those who have lost their gallbladder: th-cam.com/video/jJ_30UK_G0E/w-d-xo.html
Hi, what if I want to use Betaine for my Silent Reflux, but my Gallbladder has been removed years ago....
Thats a good question
What if you don’t have a gallbladder? Should you take Bile supplement along with HCL?
Here is our video on steps if you've lost your gallbladder: th-cam.com/video/jJ_30UK_G0E/w-d-xo.html
So i need to take betaibe hcl with bile salt for my low acid
Can you take this if your gallbladder has been removed?
In such cases, people have to compromise.
What do you do then if you don't have a gall bladder?
