@@KickItNaturally Hi! Wanted to give you an update. I am almost 100% sure that have chronic giardia infection that gives off SIBO symptoms. For some reason Giardia coats entire small intestine and prevents bile from getting abosrbed properly and it slows down my gut motility and if i eat too much i start to belch with a sulfur like smell. My symptoms are inflammation that causes me arthritis, mild bloating, slowed down gut motility due fat malabsorption caused by Giardia. I dont get any diarrheas, i spent last year doing 12 liver/gallbladder flashes to the point that after 12th one there was not a single stone present. I did that cuz i thought I had bile flow problem in the first place but the issue actually stems from Giardia sitting in my small intestine. There is actually not much information on this topic. Wonder what are your thoughts?
With any type of infection, the person not only needs to wipe it out, but they also need to restore the stomach acid function or the door is open for infection after infection coming in. Our totally free digestion course walks you thorugh that process. You can find that free course here: th-cam.com/video/RjPdowTvD6I/w-d-xo.html Sounds like you have some issues that need to be corrected.
@@KickItNaturally I can't tell you how different I feel after just 2 days of taking the mastic gum; 2 in caps, 2 mixed in water. I've never felt anything like it but I spent nearly 10 years with doctors and nothing has helped. God bless!
A recent blood test showed I am low in zinc so I’ve been supplementing with a chelated form that also has a small amount of Betaine hcl. It’s a tiny pill I at at night on empty stomach, 15 mg/tablet. After supplementing for two wks my night vision improved significantly!! I am so excited, I’m no longer afraid to drive at night alone. This also helps w keeping my blood sugar in check. I’m not overweight, never been. In fact recently I’ve been under what I consider healthy for me. But these videos have been an absolute blessing and so comprehensive which makes it easy to understand. This explains why my iron and b12 are constantly low and hard to keep in normal range. I have been supplementing w betaine for a week and the results have been nothing short of AMAZING 🙌🏽 Thank you Tony & your team of researchers.

I understand digestion and the stomach more than ever before and it’s honestly thanks to you!
If mild to occasional stomach acid, especially due to stress. My no. 1 suggestion is make a pot of Casscara Sagrada ( go ask at a Mexican Supermarket, they will sell packets of it). Keep a big Tea Pot on the stove all week with it after you have brewed it.. Take a 8 oz. glass every morning as soon as you wake up and the same before going to bed. It will TRANQUILIZE your stomach instantly in 30 seconds! Better and 1- 20th the cost of Zantac and works a whole lot quicker. Casscara Sagrada is a Tree Bark, some say it is actually Quinine, I do not know. Keep the bark in the Tea Pot all week and as you poor it out in the morning and evening poor additional water into your glass so its the color of common Iced Tea. A bag will probably cost you $3.00 and last you for about 2 to 3 months. Is that cheap enough. I used this for over 30 years, and 100 pct. natural.
That's very good but cascara shouldn't really be used daily. It's a strong herbal laxative that's great in short term uses as needed, but when taken long term it can make the bowel a bit dependant on it. Then when go without constipation can come back very strongly. It works by forcing peristaltic action in the bowel so it pushes things along faster. It's better to have breaks from it and use more magnesium to go regularly.
This is a laxative and has given me cramps and pain in the past. As a tree bark it is also high oxalate and should be considered in addition to other oxalate foods people are eating.
...a couple of years ago, out of the blue, i suffered from bloat and couldn't eat or drink for a few weeks, i was also retching once a day...the doctor gave me proton pump inhibitors which worked a treat but i looked them up on line and saw how bad they were long term so, after a week of tabs, i stopped taking them...i went almost a whole year without problems then just one tab if the symptoms returne was enough to normalise the situation...i found this video now i want to regularise my stomach acid...thanks for the info...

After 20 years of chronic GERD, and trying everything to medically & naturally fix it... I discovered how: 1. Cut-out or drastically reduce; Sugar & processed foods. 2. No food after 7pm. 3. Fermented foods; pre & probiotics to rebalance my gut bacteria. No problems at this point, EVER! IF you want to check on your gut bacteria, eat a few forkfuls of Sauerkraut when you have an episode of GERD. If the problem disappears or is drastically reduced? You have a gut balance problem. It was magic for me! Keep in mind, SUGAR will totally screw your gut up! NOTHING will work consistently if you don't lose the sweets!

I have a chronic acid reflex and bloating, i never change my diet but it started happening 4 years ago, maybe because i started eating really fast, anyhow today after watching few videos i decided to try vinegar, so i took 1 tsp of vinegar 5%acid with a huge amount of water, it felt worst at first my stomach felt like a war zone and 30 mins later the acid reflex was better, i dont want to take supplements so i will be trying to do this for a week and see how it goes
Yeah, apple cider vinegar can help if a person just needs a little boost. But if a person has a significant problem, they're not going to fix it without supplements so just keep that in mind.

I enjoy your videos and I had an issue last year with acute heart failure. I've fix all but the sodium issue affects and avoid salt which avoids the chlorines and I use Betaine HCL with each meal. I don't sweat well and a sauna helps. I don't have a "desorb method" for the sodium I do get a times from various foods. Keep up the good work, I've learned a few tricks from you. ;)

Hi have started taking betaine hcl with digestive enzyme ,i take 1 capsule per meal like lunch and dinner -1-1 each . I started to see some good changes but i want to know is one enough , i have this box but each betaine hcl is of 250 mg with enzymes ,do i need to take more .
Question about the Digest-Zyme. I noticed that compared to many others, this brand has a very tiny (95mg) amount of betain hcl. I was looking at a brand with 1200mg just before watching this video. Any opinion on which end of the spectrum you see most people need?
In our free digestion course, we teach people to use HCL seperately from enzymes, so you can adjust the dose as needed. The very small amount of HCL in digestizyme is not meant to replace HCL. It is just a boost. The other ingredients are meant to help the body make more of it's own HCL so a person does not need to use it as often.

What happens if stress caused low stomach acid. Like the sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive! Or the vagus nerve is damaged from years of imflamation. What do you treat first, pathogens, heavy metals, stress. I get to confused
HI, every case is different and there's no way for me to know unless someone is a client and I dig into their chemistry. But there is a hierarchy, generally speaking. Like, an electrolyte imbalance is usually a priority over a sympathetic imbalance, etc. Too much to type out here, but I explain this in my book that you can download for free in the description of this video. But the good news is that a person can just supplement with HCL as long as they are also using Beet Flow and they can continue that until they fix enough things that the body can start making it's own HCL.
That doesn't do much. I would rather see a person correct the actual underllying cause of constipation like we talk about in this video: th-cam.com/video/v0ndz9FtnB4/w-d-xo.html

Unfortunately betaine HCL makes my b12 deficiency worse and causes even more neuropathic pain, I'm allergic to vinegar, I also have SIBO/SIFO and I've tried a lot of things but it always seems to come back because of my low stomach acidity. What is helping me a little is taking a blend of common enzymes (Acid Protease, Amylase and Lipase). I saw your video about Ox bile and I ended up a little confused, some people on reddit say that this supplement together with UDCA helped to cleanse the intestine against SIBO/SIFO but you advise against using it as it reduced stomach acidity even more, could these two supplements have antimicrobial action? I would also like to know your opinion about the bromelain enzyme to increase acidity, Thanks doctor!

What do you think about salt like Redmond Real Salt? That's what I used for a few years, until a naturopath told me that the colors in the salt indicate contaminants. That may not be the exact word he used, but it's been over five years and I can't recall for sure. His belief was that pure white salt was better. He specifically recommended Morton Canning and Pickling Salt, but I just settled on white mediterranean sea salt. Thanks for your videos.
Hey Karl, it depends on the client and whether their blood pressure is low or high, but the Redmond's company allowed me to tour their salt mines with a film crew and it was pretty cool. I think it's one of the better quality salts, but I could be wrong.
@@KickItNaturally Fortunately, despite salting most foods liberally, my blood pressure always hovers just below 120/80. So, thus far, I don't seem to be a hyper-responder. Thanks for taking the time to reply and share your perspective.
Hey Tony! Thanks for another insightful video!! I have a question regarding betaine HCL. Is this supplement something that you will have to take forever or does your stomach acid eventually start to regulate itself back to normal after some time (with the usage of betaine of course)? Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks @Dylan Conradie , We cover this in more depth in our free digestion course found here: kickitnaturally.com/course But the idea is that if you can create digestion using HCL, your body should eventually have enough resources that it can start making more of it's own HCL. How long that takes can vary wildly from person to person. But as long as a person is also using the Beet Flow we talk about here: www.naturalreference.com/product To ensure bile is thin enough to flow correctly, they should be able to create that sizzle that helps them pull all the nutrients out of their food and speed that process up. Let us know how it goes.
The most important mineral for producing more hydrochloric acid, is chlorine. Sodium chloride is cheap and abundant source of chlorine, but a lot of older people are severely deficient in salt due to medical mafia propaganda.
hello, is there any harm in using betaine hcl for a long time? How long should it be used? and it is said that if an auxiliary supplement is taken, the stomach will get used to it and it will not produce itself, is there any truth to this? Thank you.

My name is Shubham, I have done endoscopy many times, every time I get erosive gastritis, I have a problem that there is a lot of gas in the stomach and every second there is a sound, belching, once I eat food. I don't feel hungry for 12 hours, can I take HCL supplement?
I stopped taking my anti acid and started taking apple cider vinegar before my meal but on the second day I got bad heartburn and it was burning. I rushed to take low fat milk because it is only thing that comforts the burning. So please tell me what I need to do? Taking apple cider vinegar or anti acid again? On my endoscopy I have been told I have chronic gastritis and gerd. Please help me with your advice 🙏
adding a very small amount of acid, like apple cider vinegar, can really magnify reflux symptoms for some folks. This video explains why most people need more acid than that to fix reflux:th-cam.com/video/ZDTUrYGVu7Q/w-d-xo.html
Anyone having digestive problems start with 250mg betain hcl. 1 capsule directly at first bite of lunch or dinner. Always follow directions on product.
Not that I'm telling you to take more, but just so you know Marc, it's pretty rare to find anyone with digestive issues that can fix them by taking just 1 capsule. In nearly 15 years, I think I may have seen that work once.
Ive been taking enzymes lately but it doesnt seem to be helping so I've considered taking HCL too. Do you take these in conjunction with each other or is it better to do the hcl first then enzymes once that improves symptoms?
Not allowed to give specific advice in video comments, but I go over this in detail in chapter 3 and 4 of my book and you can download that for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
I started with HCL like 3 days ago, but only take 1/day with one of the bigger meals, If this does work and get rid of my silent reflux - mucus, post nasal drip. Then will I need to take HCL all my life?

Hi @Souhalla Hadid , I can't give specific one on one advice to someone who is not a client, but most people seem to take Beet Flow before their meals and then HCL in the middle, as I describe in my book. Most people start them together unless they are dealing with loose stool issues. Let us know how it goes.
Thank you for your quick reply, I’m on candida diet right now so no carb or sugar. Does beet flow have carb or sugar? Is it candida safe in general? About the celery juice it did make me feel refreshed and cleaned in the morning, I used it for couple of years until it started giving me bad and painful diahrrea at the end. I stopped it and went back to it few times, it didn’t work. Maybe it’s the bike issue like you said. I really wanna try the Beet Flow because I couldn’t find a way to handle the Hcl 🥲
The Beet flow has a little bit of beet root in it, but not significant enough to show up as carbohydrate count or anything. And if bile isn't flowing, it will be harder to get more nutrients out of your food and give the body the resources it needs to fight off the invader. Let us know how it goes.
I had this .problem for awhile but unfortunately I lost my health insurance due to my job being unlimited and I can't. afford insurance . I have feeling at night like my food not digesting . watched a few of videos but a little confusing and I just need simple approach I don't have time to watch 5 different videos or read a book .I just want one video with what to take and the links don't come up on my tablet.
Can you make a video about high blood pressure and low minerals? I have been dealing with higher blood pressure so I have been avoiding added salt and drinking more water. But I just got some labs done and my sodium and chloride levels dipped a bit. I know there are other factors involved but more information would be helpful!
Does it make difference if the stomach acid PH is 1-3 but the stomach is not producing the right amount of acid for the day? Does taking betaine HCL + pepsin will fix both?
Yes, it is very common for someone not to be making enough stomach acid.

If you're diabetic Betaine is not a good idea, apple cider vinegar with mother is best, put the beetroot juice or powder in the vinegar to get Betaine without the sugar as the mother will eat the sugar to convert it into gas.
ACV is appropriate for someone who is insulin resistant because it is pro-anabolic and pushing them more in that direction can help some people process glucose more effectively. But that doesn't mean it's strong enough to truly help some people acidify their food correctly. Like everything, it's about looking at the person and not sure their symptoms. You need to look at where their chemistry is.
can low stomach acid effect bile flow or pancreas enzyme's? my ct scan is normal pancreas, liver, gallbladder is normal but still i have undigested food in stool and floaty stools

HI @Krushna Ghadei, I'm not a doctor and can't tell anyone what they should or should not do with any form of medication. But we hear from people every day who tell us how they fixed the acid reflux problem and then removed their need for the medication. If a person just stopped the medication without actually fixing the problem, wouldn't the symptoms just come right back? Here is our video on how to fix it: th-cam.com/video/ZDTUrYGVu7Q/w-d-xo.html Let us know how it goes.
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 fully anyways?
I have consistent symptoms of low stomach acid. Speckles of undigested food in my stool, extremely stubborn constipation, burping immediately after eating, tons of bloating and flatulence, burning and reflux, vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, etc. But when I tried to supplement with Betaine, even just 200mg, I got reflux and the warming sensation. I’ve watched all your videos about Betaine and reflux, and I read your 4 week course, so I totally understand why it would cause the reflux, but why the warming?? It kicked in within ten minutes, and made my whole body feel warm, starting in my stomach/chest and spreading from there. I’m at a complete loss here, because I have all these symptoms that scream low stomach acid, but even a tiny bit of Betaine seems to be too much. But digestive bitters and ACV don’t seem to do anything except cause some pain in my stomach/chest. Could this all be due to gastritis? I’m currently working on healing that with collagen, glutamine, slippery elm, and DGL. Is it possible that once my gut lining, the warming sensation will go away and I can properly supplement with Betaine? I’m feeling so overwhelmed and discouraged. I feel like I’m on the right track, but have this major hurdle blocking me. I’m beyond desperate for answers here, and none of my doctors seem willing to help.
Hi, you're right that gastritis can make it hard to start with the HCL, but without proper stomach acid, it sort of sets things up for gastritis so it can be troubling. I have a video coming out on gastritis this month, but this podcast episode about having trouble starting HCL could give you a world of insights as well: kickitnaturally.com/episode312/ Hope that helps and don't give up.
You may have stomach ulcers so taking betaine HCl makes it worse, in order to take HCl you first need to heal your stomach lining, Dr. Berg has a video on this topic search it he gives the solution in it.
I'm confused! I noticed Digesti-zyme from Empirical Labs contains Betaine HCL. I thought Digestive enzymes need to be taken away from acid....why does this contain both?😳
We use HCL without pepsin, and this video explains some issues that can happen with some folks when first starting, and how to fix them: th-cam.com/video/JFZBva1aWSg/w-d-xo.html and this video explains other issues that can restrict HCL production: th-cam.com/video/Hvr-I37Oe3E/w-d-xo.html
from my experience stomach acid is strongly correlated with metabolism. when you have body temp in the 95s or even 94s and a resting heart rate under 60 your stomach acid will be low. it's such a costly thing for the body to make.
I agree that it is a costly thing for the body to make, but I see it as more of a problem when blood pressure is low, more than pulse. But interesting that you're seeing other correlations too.
sea-salts cheap though. vit c tabs, melted butter, ghee or buyteric-acid, acv or white vinegar, lemon/lime drops. There's around 3-8 acids that are suitable for the body to make gut-acid sea-salt and a few others sometimes works great for me. try salt with every meal 8th tspn

My symptoms are inflammation that causes me arthritis, mild bloating, slowed down gut motility due fat malabsorption caused by Giardia.

I think you saved my life. I was doing all the stuff you are talking about just in the wrong way. Timing with my supplements.
So glad it was helpful!
I truly truly appreciate you and your knowledge, time, the ease of your videos, the short length which makes it digestible (no pun intended hehe) and your generosity with all which you give away completely free for us. I understand digestion and the stomach more than ever before and it’s honestly thanks to you!
This guy is a legend 👍 i am now a subscriber. He explains things way better than doctor Berg. Well spoken and a soothing voice too.
I appreciate that and welcome aboard
That is saying a lot since I love Dr Berg😊
If mild to occasional stomach acid, especially due to stress. My no. 1 suggestion is make a pot of Casscara Sagrada ( go ask at a Mexican Supermarket, they will sell packets of it).
Keep a big Tea Pot on the stove all week with it after you have brewed it.. Take a 8 oz. glass every morning as soon as you wake up and the same before going to bed. It will TRANQUILIZE your stomach instantly in 30 seconds! Better and 1- 20th the cost of Zantac and works a whole lot quicker. Casscara Sagrada is a Tree Bark, some say it is actually Quinine, I do not know. Keep the bark in the Tea Pot all week and as you poor it out in the morning and evening poor additional water into your glass so its the color of common Iced Tea. A bag will probably cost you $3.00 and last you for about 2 to 3 months. Is that cheap enough. I used this for over 30 years, and 100 pct. natural.
That's very good but cascara shouldn't really be used daily. It's a strong herbal laxative that's great in short term uses as needed, but when taken long term it can make the bowel a bit dependant on it. Then when go without constipation can come back very strongly. It works by forcing peristaltic action in the bowel so it pushes things along faster. It's better to have breaks from it and use more magnesium to go regularly.
This is a laxative and has given me cramps and pain in the past. As a tree bark it is also high oxalate and should be considered in addition to other oxalate foods people are eating.
...a couple of years ago, out of the blue, i suffered from bloat and couldn't eat or drink for a few weeks, i was also retching once a day...the doctor gave me proton pump inhibitors which worked a treat but i looked them up on line and saw how bad they were long term so, after a week of tabs, i stopped taking them...i went almost a whole year without problems then just one tab if the symptoms returne was enough to normalise the situation...i found this video now i want to regularise my stomach acid...thanks for the info...

After 20 years of chronic GERD, and trying everything to medically & naturally fix it... I discovered how: 1. Cut-out or drastically reduce; Sugar & processed foods. 2. No food after 7pm. 3. Fermented foods; pre & probiotics to rebalance my gut bacteria. No problems at this point, EVER!
IF you want to check on your gut bacteria, eat a few forkfuls of Sauerkraut when you have an episode of GERD. If the problem disappears or is drastically reduced? You have a gut balance problem. It was magic for me! Keep in mind, SUGAR will totally screw your gut up! NOTHING will work consistently if you don't lose the sweets!
What were all your symptoms?

B12 ,D and iron deficiency with oily stools leading to hairloss and acne.. didn't burp after baking soda test.. I don't whether I have low stomach acid or bile insufficiency
I have a chronic acid reflex and bloating, i never change my diet but it started happening 4 years ago, maybe because i started eating really fast, anyhow today after watching few videos i decided to try vinegar, so i took 1 tsp of vinegar 5%acid with a huge amount of water, it felt worst at first my stomach felt like a war zone and 30 mins later the acid reflex was better, i dont want to take supplements so i will be trying to do this for a week and see how it goes
Yeah, apple cider vinegar can help if a person just needs a little boost. But if a person has a significant problem, they're not going to fix it without supplements so just keep that in mind. Having to take supplements is a much better option than the problem reflux can cause.

I enjoy your videos and I had an issue last year with acute heart failure. I've fix all but the sodium issue affects and avoid salt which avoids the chlorines and I use Betaine HCL with each meal.
I don't sweat well and a sauna helps. I don't have a "desorb method" for the sodium I do get a times from various foods.

Hi,what kind of Zn(citrate,picolinate...)?
Thank you for this great info. So would it be more beneficial for people to start with mineral analysis as opposed to supplementing with hcl first?
I don't know, but I never have my clients check mineral analysis.
Very useful videos indeed ❤ thank you so much
Glad they are helpful :)
doc can u tell me why u should take HCl betaine supplements without pepsin? I ordered some with pepsin but now I see you say take it without pepsin?
Hi have started taking betaine hcl with digestive enzyme ,i take 1 capsule per meal like lunch and dinner -1-1 each . I started to see some good changes but i want to know is one enough , i have this box but each betaine hcl is of 250 mg with enzymes ,do i need to take more .
Question about the Digest-Zyme. I noticed that compared to many others, this brand has a very tiny (95mg) amount of betain hcl. I was looking at a brand with 1200mg just before watching this video. Any opinion on which end of the spectrum you see most people need?
In our free digestion course, we teach people to use HCL seperately from enzymes, so you can adjust the dose as needed. The very small amount of HCL in digestizyme is not meant to replace HCL. It is just a boost. The other ingredients are meant to help the body make more of it's own HCL so a person does not need to use it as often.

What happens if stress caused low stomach acid. Like the sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive! Or the vagus nerve is damaged from years of imflamation. What do you treat first, pathogens, heavy metals, stress. I get to confused
HI, every case is different and there's no way for me to know unless someone is a client and I dig into their chemistry. But there is a hierarchy, generally speaking. Like, an electrolyte imbalance is usually a priority over a sympathetic imbalance, etc. Too much to type out here, but I explain this in my book that you can download for free in the description of this video. But the good news is that a person can just supplement with HCL as long as they are also using Beet Flow and they can continue that until they fix enough things that the body can start making it's own HCL.

Unfortunately betaine HCL makes my b12 deficiency worse and causes even more neuropathic pain, I'm allergic to vinegar, I also have SIBO/SIFO and I've tried a lot of things but it always seems to come back because of my low stomach acidity.
What is helping me a little is taking a blend of common enzymes (Acid Protease, Amylase and Lipase).
I saw your video about Ox bile and I ended up a little confused, some people on reddit say that this supplement together with UDCA helped to cleanse the intestine against SIBO/SIFO but you advise against using it as it reduced stomach acidity even more, could these two supplements have antimicrobial action?

I have been dealing this lost my galbladder
What do you think about salt like Redmond Real Salt? That's what I used for a few years, until a naturopath told me that the colors in the salt indicate contaminants. That may not be the exact word he used, but it's been over five years and I can't recall for sure. His belief was that pure white salt was better. He specifically recommended Morton Canning and Pickling Salt, but I just settled on white mediterranean sea salt. Thanks for your videos.
Hey Karl, it depends on the client and whether their blood pressure is low or high, but the Redmond's company allowed me to tour their salt mines with a film crew and it was pretty cool. I think it's one of the better quality salts, but I could be wrong.
@@KickItNaturally Fortunately, despite salting most foods liberally, my blood pressure always hovers just below 120/80. So, thus far, I don't seem to be a hyper-responder. Thanks for taking the time to reply and share your perspective.
Hey Tony!
Thanks for another insightful video!!
I have a question regarding betaine HCL.
Is this supplement something that you will have to take forever or does your stomach acid eventually start to regulate itself back to normal after some time (with the usage of betaine of course)?
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks @Dylan Conradie , We cover this in more depth in our free digestion course found here: kickitnaturally.com/course
But the idea is that if you can create digestion using HCL, your body should eventually have enough resources that it can start making more of it's own HCL. How long that takes can vary wildly from person to person. But as long as a person is also using the Beet Flow we talk about here: www.naturalreference.com/product
To ensure bile is thin enough to flow correctly, they should be able to create that sizzle that helps them pull all the nutrients out of their food and speed that process up.
Let us know how it goes.
Apparently in some cases your stomach will get used to making hcl on its own
The most important mineral for producing more hydrochloric acid, is chlorine. Sodium chloride is cheap and abundant source of chlorine, but a lot of older people are severely deficient in salt due to medical mafia propaganda.
hello, is there any harm in using betaine hcl for a long time? How long should it be used? and it is said that if an auxiliary supplement is taken, the stomach will get used to it and it will not produce itself, is there any truth to this? Thank you.

Anyone having digestive problems start with 250mg betain hcl. 1 capsule directly at first bite of lunch or dinner. Always follow directions on product.
Not that I'm telling you to take more, but just so you know Marc, it's pretty rare to find anyone with digestive issues that can fix them by taking just 1 capsule. In nearly 15 years, I think I may have seen that work once.
Ive been taking enzymes lately but it doesnt seem to be helping so I've considered taking HCL too.
Do you take these in conjunction with each other or is it better to do the hcl first then enzymes once that improves symptoms?

Hi @Souhalla Hadid , I can't give specific one on one advice to someone who is not a client, but most people seem to take Beet Flow before their meals and then HCL in the middle, as I describe in my book. Most people start them together unless they are dealing with loose stool issues.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I left you a comment on your podcast about celery juice and other stuff, I would love to hear your input.
I"m not seeing that. Can you leave that comment here?
Thank you for your quick reply, I’m on candida diet right now so no carb or sugar. Does beet flow have carb or sugar? Is it candida safe in general?
About the celery juice it did make me feel refreshed and cleaned in the morning, I used it for couple of years until it started giving me bad and painful diahrrea at the end. I stopped it and went back to it few times, it didn’t work. Maybe it’s the bike issue like you said. I really wanna try the Beet Flow because I couldn’t find a way to handle the Hcl 🥲
The Beet flow has a little bit of beet root in it, but not significant enough to show up as carbohydrate count or anything. And if bile isn't flowing, it will be harder to get more nutrients out of your food and give the body the resources it needs to fight off the invader.
Let us know how it goes.

If you're diabetic Betaine is not a good idea, apple cider vinegar with mother is best, put the beetroot juice or powder in the vinegar to get Betaine without the sugar as the mother will eat the sugar to convert it into gas.
ACV is appropriate for someone who is insulin resistant because it is pro-anabolic and pushing them more in that direction can help some people process glucose more effectively. But that doesn't mean it's strong enough to truly help some people acidify their food correctly. Like everything, it's about looking at the person and not sure their symptoms. You need to look at where their chemistry is.

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 fully anyways?
You probably have a inflamed stomach lining or bacterial overgrowth causing this
I have consistent symptoms of low stomach acid. Speckles of undigested food in my stool, extremely stubborn constipation, burping immediately after eating, tons of bloating and flatulence, burning and reflux, vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, etc.
But when I tried to supplement with Betaine, even just 200mg, I got reflux and the warming sensation. I’ve watched all your videos about Betaine and reflux, and I read your 4 week course, so I totally understand why it would cause the reflux, but why the warming?? It kicked in within ten minutes, and made my whole body feel warm, starting in my stomach/chest and spreading from there.
I’m at a complete loss here, because I have all these symptoms that scream low stomach acid, but even a tiny bit of Betaine seems to be too much. But digestive bitters and ACV don’t seem to do anything except cause some pain in my stomach/chest.
Could this all be due to gastritis? I’m currently working on healing that with collagen, glutamine, slippery elm, and DGL. Is it possible that once my gut lining, the warming sensation will go away and I can properly supplement with Betaine?
I’m feeling so overwhelmed and discouraged. I feel like I’m on the right track, but have this major hurdle blocking me. I’m beyond desperate for answers here, and none of my doctors seem willing to help.
Hi, you're right that gastritis can make it hard to start with the HCL, but without proper stomach acid, it sort of sets things up for gastritis so it can be troubling. I have a video coming out on gastritis this month, but this podcast episode about having trouble starting HCL could give you a world of insights as well: kickitnaturally.com/episode312/
Hope that helps and don't give up.

from my experience stomach acid is strongly correlated with metabolism. when you have body temp in the 95s or even 94s and a resting heart rate under 60 your stomach acid will be low. it's such a costly thing for the body to make.
I agree that it is a costly thing for the body to make, but I see it as more of a problem when blood pressure is low, more than pulse. But interesting that you're seeing other correlations too.
No wonder
Really
sea-salts cheap though. vit c tabs, melted butter, ghee or buyteric-acid, acv or white vinegar, lemon/lime drops. There's around 3-8 acids that are suitable for the body to make gut-acid sea-salt and a few others sometimes works great for me.
try salt with every meal 8th tspn

@@KickItNaturally Well I guess it was all the pasta and cereal. I've done carnivore diet before but with meat costs so high currently my diets gone too carb based it seems.
I’ve been taking Lansoprazole 30ml everyday for nearly 14 years but for the last 2 years I’ve been taking 1 capsule every 3 days as Im trying to control and manage my reflux by watching what I eat..I’ve got some HCL capsules but I’m nervous to take them as I’ve watched loads of videos about low stomach acid and they say not to take them if your on ppi’s..How long do you need to be off the ppi’s before you take the hcl please

i have most worse acid reflux after failed ivf, apple cider makes it worse. i started hcl acid from today. can i use hcl without eating protein
HI @Kadi Metsamagi, I can't give specific advice to anyone who is not a client, but I would never want a client to use HCL with a meal that did not contain protein. But I also have my clients include protein with every meal. If HCL makes the reflux worse, be sure to listen to this podcast episode on trouble starting HCL. kickitnaturally.com/episode312/
Let us know how it goes.
