A lot of them. But after a couple of months of getting on betaine HCl and digestive enzymes, I'm still having pain really high up in the stomach after everything I eat. Even water sometimes. Tired of being in pain. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Wondering if there's a point where maybe I'm supposed to get off the HCl? Because it seemed to be working well for a while and I had weeks of no pain. Maybe it's too much now?
Same here…all of those symptoms…all while going to the doctors and begging for help. I have Betaine HCL and Ox bile (no gall bladder) but I was talking them improperly. Based Hale‘s videos, the HCL is taken with the meal to acidify the stomach. Bile is taken 1 -1/2 hours after the meal to replace the bile that would normally be added in the intestines.
1. Burping/bloating 2. Heartburn, acid reflux or Gerd, 3. Indigestion, or digestive discomfort 4. Nausea 5. Signs in poop 6. Loss of appetite OR 7. Constant hunger 8. Low energy

I literally burped hundreds of times every day. I told my Dr. He just stared at me like I was a specimen in a jar. 😣 Eventually another Dr. removed my gallbladder. I actually had a huge gallstone. 😢 You have taught me so much! I am better thanks to you. So many years of pain and discomfort that were totally avoidable! Do Dr's just not care? It is so simple, why don't they seem to know how the body works? I am learning. Thanks for being my teacher!
Perhaps "doctors just don't care" but even closer to the TRUTH is that doctors DO CARE about making money. They work hand in hand with BIG PHARMA and they subscribe, subscribe, subscribe - as much as possible! They also only learn a VERY NARROW version of what health is in medical school. Let's face it - their 3 main go-to's are RADIATE, CUT or MEDICATE. That's what they were taught and that is MOSTLY what they have to offer. That is why so many are seeking alternative methods of healing - or rather - many are seeking ways to heal vs. ways to cover up symptoms and continue to live life with an illness or disease as their doctor is not helping them to heal - and most do not even know how to heal. They simply know how to cover up symptoms - with medicines that are TOXIC - with long lists of so-called "side-effects" and they even include that they "could cause death" as one of the "side-effects". You MUST become your OWN doctor, learn how to listen to your body, do you own in depth research (as we can find MUCH info on the internet these days) and learn how to ascertain what resonates with you and your body and what does not. It is up to us now. DUMP THE SO-CALLED DOCTORS! Unless you utilize their equipment for diagnostics and such - or for a broken bone. Otherwise, seek out info on your own - or IF you can afford it - look for a "Functional Medicine Doctor" - who will guide you in the wide spectrum of WAYS TO HEAL the body! Good luck! Stick with it. IT WORKS!
My husband has all 10 of these symptoms. He’s been diagnosed with gastroparesis. They have him on a bunch of antacids and a stomach coating medication. I keep having him watch your videos. He’s coming to a point of understanding that he needs to make a change.
Our video on gastroparesis could help: th-cam.com/video/-gxhYtADLGA/w-d-xo.html Maybe let him know the goal is not to win the contest of having the most digestive symptoms. All 10 is a lot. :)
@ Thank you very much. He’s been dealing with this for over a decade and it seems to be getting worse over time. I personally don’t like the treatments they are using. All of the medications 💊 that make it worse! His GI told him that this is his life now and he’ll just have to come in every 1-3 months as needed to balloon the openings, until it gets so bad that they’ll have him on a colostomy bag! I was stunned! I couldn’t believe his GI doctor believes that! This is NOT okay with us!
Brilliant 👏 I was going through all of these symptoms about 8 years ago and discovered I had low stomach acid. I bought Bethune HCI Pepsin Gentian bitters, within a week or so it was over. My stomach has always been my Achilles heel. It all starts in our stomach.
I've been aware of low stomach acid for some time now and have been adding ACV to a glass of water before meals (plus Flaxseeds already softened in water overnight and Olive Oil). However, I never realized low blood pressure is also linked to low acid. Excellent information - I now know why!
How do you feel after taking ACV? I also have low stomach acid because I don’t digest food properly. Do you have h pylori infection ? Pls share your experience.
@@mercyajoke3475 Absolutely fine. I don't have h Pylori infection, but taking 2 tsp of the vinegar in a full glass of lukewarm water the ACV tastes like a soft drink. However, if you add Extra Virgin Oil to your regime, this will heal the skin on the inside of your gut. Take from 2 tsp. to 1 tbsp of olive oil every day, and if you suffer from itchy, eczematous skin, the olive oil will help reduce this problem too, and probably heal it altogether. Look up Dr Mandell on TH-cam, he explains best the benefits of these ancient healing remedies.
I think you’re super. I became a nutritional therapist in the 90; now retired. It’s love lay to be able to watch your videos, which are clear and concise
Excellent video! A coworker did have a subset of these symptoms. 1) Certain foods made him severely boated. 5. His stools were creamy, yet constipating, irritating, and always had a scent. 7) Always hungry. 10) Charlie horses (sign of low minerals). Great progress was made with introducing acid (e.g., apple cider vinegar, vegan betaine HCL, tangerines) when he ate. Haven't tried sparkling water, yet. His stools are now good texture, the bloating is dramatically improved, but stools need more darkening, so I watched the video on the bile flush. Challenge is he has a history of kidney stones so he avoids oxalate-rich foods like beets and spinach. Suggestions?
This is 4th video I have watched on the digestive system and low acid production with various health practitioners and the general public who has fixed their digestion without medications. It seems so simple to fix and we all need to start from the second point of digestion ( mouth being the first) to eradicate our gut issues. Well done for enlightening us :)

🤔 Interesting !!! I had duodenum ulcer many decades ago. I was skin and bones ( not anymore 😢 ) because as soon as the food hit my stomach, I had to run. Was coming back. After a while I got better, but I am ALWAYS nauseous ever since. I saw SO MANY " doctors " since, BUT this is the first time I heard the answer, so THANK YOU ! 🙏
I have a very peculiar case. Gallbladder removed, fatty liver, hiatal hernia repaired, h. Pylori positive, low gastrointestinal acid, partial hysterectomy at 36, and just 2 years ago menopause finally kicked in. Possibly sibo or leaky gut. I'm 52 years old. I weight 140 pounds, 5'4". I used to be very athletic and participated in many triathlons, marathons, etc. After my hysterectomy, everything went down hill. Diagnosed with H.pylori last year, two rounds of antibiotics and my bitter mouth taste 24/7. I've tried HCL, aloe vera-ginger, L glutamine, swiddish bitters, ACV, celery juice, bone broth, no dairy, no grains, no sugar diet. Can I live a healthy live after all these issues? I don't know how to target every issue.
I was in the emergency room last night for two hours for 9 out of the 10 symptoms you mentioned .While I’m waiting to be seen I’m looking up videos and found your video!! 🙏🏼 Thank you so much!! I had two rounds of antibiotics for a tooth and almost back to back. I just ended the last round about 10 days ago. I had a flareup of Gerd bc of the antibiotics So I was taking my PPIs for the last week which I now know caused my low acid . Even on a gut friendly diet for all 7 days!! But now I know it wouldn’t even matter bc there wasn’t enough stomach acid to kill the bad guys! I couldn’t believe out of 10 of the symptoms I had nine of them! When I got home Iimmediately had a cup of ACV before my meal and one after. I also went online and got a little juicer. I did watch your video about celery juice so I did my first juice today so far so good. I also put lemon juice in my water bottle, I notice a little burping today but cut those symptoms down to only a few!!!!!

1.burping and floating 2. GERD ( not taking no meds, since sept 2020 , mine is age), 3. I am constipated because of stomach ( I know I don't have enough stomach acid ). I chew my food 50 times for each bite. 8. Low Energy :( I only have 4 issues out of 10. *Thank You TC for all your help* *This Video made me laugh , because you are funny* !! 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Man it's hard to stay alive. After meal fatigue, postpandrial somnolence... I guess this could also be a sign right? You did mention fatigue. But I see these after meal crashes are very common

Heartburn and acid reflux are caused by low digestive enzymes; your body compensates by secreting HCl, which is what causes indigestion and eventually acid reflux.
I have had the chronic laryngitis thing for 30 years. I hear you had it for eight. Congratulations on beating it. Mine occurred after a bad cold I got while binge drinking in Mexico. Lost my voice then and life has sucked ever since. Socializing sucks etc etc etc. You know what I am talking about, no pun intended. Most people dont have a clue and kind of role their eyes when you whine about it then when they get a bout of laryngitis for three days they take off work and because it is so difficult to communicate but still roll their eyes when you bring it up. I was hoping I had silent reflux and apple cider vinegar would fix it but it hasn't really helped. I also tried the inhaling of a baking soda water mist to neutralize the pepsin but that hasn't really helped. Is there a good diagnostic to check if you actually have low acid? Like you, I saw dozens of doctors, ENT's. PPI's , voice therapy, etc. nothing helped. My diagnosis is muscular dysphonia by the way. Cheers! Dan

This is the most encouraging video I've seen. Surely I must have low acid as I have all 10 Symptoms. I've taken Betaine HCL but only for a few days and not enough. Here's hoping an increase may help me.

Hi doc, i have bloating, discomfort, yellow/green greasy stool with visibly undigested food. My LDL and estrogen level are high but my HDL is low, could this be a sign of low stomach acid? Could low stomach acid effect LDL/HDL levels? I am a male who is very physically active. Btw, when i take ACV my symptoms do feel a million times better. Thanks
Just found your channel! 🎉 From your video, low stomach acid causes bloating and constipation. So why would my naturopath say i have hyper acidic stomach? 🤔
Hi @John_Constantine , ACV only works if a person needs a very small boost, but most people need more than that. This video will explain how to fix it: th-cam.com/video/Ry4ZgCT686Q/w-d-xo.html Let us know how it goes.
TC, If u have any of these symptoms, should u yea or nay on fermented foods like raw saucerkraut? Should I kick the raw cabbage in the nuts, if I have poor bile flow. My candida screams daily!
The symptoms aren't usually enough to figure that out. I just like to see clients use those in moderation. Probiotics are good, but that doesn't mean pounding the body with them nonstop is better. But I guess I need to make a condida video. I'll add that to the list.
It can be a very slight help if someone needs just a little boost. But you also want to understand this about ACV: th-cam.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/w-d-xo.html
I've been dealing with stomach pain for 2 1/2 years ever since I had open heart surgery . They kept telling me how great I would feel after I healed ! That never happened , started going to my GP gave me PPI's did nothing told me to keep taking them I went to two GI Doctors they gave me thousands of dollars worth of tests declared I had IBS, and then gave me a prescription that made things worse. Then last weekend I talked to this Dr. that was camping at my place up in the Sierra and he was a neurologist but when I said my stomach never felt right after surgery the first thing he says is antibiotic from the surgery killing all my good bacteria and that was after the GI DR' told me it had nothing to do with my stomach pain . Now I i'd like to thank the GI doctor for not knowing shit !! maybe he was last in his class at medical school. So I have some pro and pre-Biotics but never took them regularly but now I have and my stomach is starting to feel better . After watching your video's I will start the other things Like pretty sure I have low stomach acid now and an overgrowth of some kind of bad bacteria This sucks feeling like crap for over two years because GI doctors don't know about all this . Seems like all they want to do is give you Colonoscopy and endoscopes it took me a month to recoup from that
Here is my video about how I went through a similar situation, but I went through 23 different doctors and it took me 8 years to figure it out on my own,. th-cam.com/video/Ry_mGzS6JU4/w-d-xo.html 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.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have most of the symptoms except for one thing not listing: I cough white mucus and it gets worse if I don't sleep elevated. What would be the cause?
My question is... what are the signs of possibly too much stomach acid? I don't burp or belch. However, I have chronic diarrhea every day - would this condition be the stomach acids are so strong that my system is being flushed out? I don't feel I'm getting any nutrition and my body is breaking down. I probably should not take digestive enzymes? Thank you.
Hi @S. Stephens, in most cases, it's more about a lack of bile flow and inability to neutralize the acids. This video will explain more: th-cam.com/video/HUw3NuPGswI/w-d-xo.html

Great @Annatino Joy ! You might want to download my book for free in the description above so you can read chapter 3 that explains how to use HCL, and why we don't use HCL with pepsin. And why we ALWAYS have clients use Beet Flow if they're going to use HCL. Let us know how it goes.
@@KickItNaturally thank you for your answer. I speed read your book. Unfortunately in Canada I cannot find beet bile. I take bile salts before eating and HCI with pepsin. I’m confused. Some say it had to be with pepsin and some say not with pepsin. It’s pretty expensive from Pure company and I don’t want to throw them out. I also take Artemisia 2 capsules X 3 to kill parasites and bad bacteria and 2 Billion Bacillus coagulans. Have five strain Bifido probiotics but stoped taking them after I felt weird. I am dealing with constipation and bloating. I’m not sure if is from antidepressants small dose I’m taking and perimenopause hormonal but it’s driving me insane when I see this stupid belly swelling after I eat. Never in my life o went through this. It’s all new like six months. I believe the antidepressants messed my gut. Unfortunately I cannot cold turkey them because horrible withdrawals risk and I will take at least a year to wean myself of.
Hi @Annatino Joy , I don't think they caused it, but they could be a factor. Just know I help clients fix their bloating all the time, even if they are using antidepressants.

I studied eating for ur bloodtype. My bloodtype is AB and AB has low acid from the get go. I don’t use any meds for this at all. I take magnesium citrate and pre/probiotics and drink lemon water every morning.
Can you please explain to me why I can eat steak and have no trouble with digestion, but when I eat grains (including gluten free) I get indigestion and reflux??? I do take HCL acid with these, which does help, but if my HCL is so low - according to your information I should not be able to digest meat easily. Like I said, I can eat meat with no HCL supplement and experience no digestive problems at all. It seems to be something more than just HCL levels alone?

Hey, T.C.: I wonder if you might comment on the article below from functional medicine practitioner Michael McEvoy? ~~~~~ *The HCL Challenge: Why the Conventional Test is Dead Wrong* The conventional HCL challenge test involves the ingestion of Betaine Hydrochloride in order to gauge if the parietal cells of your stomach are producing adequate amounts of stomach acid. The test typically involves taking one HCL pill with food and then increasing by one per day until a burning occurs. If burning takes place at a low dose it is thought that this is because your stomach is producing adequate HCL. And if a burning occurs at a higher dose it is thought that it is due to low levels of HCL production in the stomach. The problem is that this is absolutely not what is really happening with this test. In fact, if a small dose of HCL produces burning, it is not because you have adequate HCL at all. If HCL supplements produce burning it indicates rather that your mucosal barrier is damaged! The HCL is producing burning because the acid is burning exposed tissues. Under normal, healthy circumstances, a person should be able to tolerate a lot of Betaine HCL. HCL only contains about 2-3% hydrogen. The clinical response that occurs with Betaine HCL supplementation is more due to the Betaine than from HCL! If you are experiencing burning with only 500-3,500 mg of HCL, your gastro intestinal mucosal barrier is in a state of distress. Many researchers believe that a person with a healthy mucosal barrier should be able to tolerate upto 26 capsules of Betaine HCL! People who are recommending HCL supplementation to people that having burning sensations after an HCL challenge test are only contributing to the breakdown of the mucosa. It is possible (and likely) that a person with a damaged mucosal barrier may have low levels of HCL being produced by their stomach, and have a need for more stomach acid. However, the mucosal barrier needs to be repaired first! Otherwise the implications are not good. How Can One Test for Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid)? The Heidelberg ph test is probably the most accurate way to gauge HCL insufficiency. However this test is invasive and the Heidelberg machines are not easy to find. Blood tests can identify Hypochlorhydria fairly well, especially if the chloride value is less than 100, and if the Co2 level is greater than 27. However, chloride and Co2 values also identify other variables in the body. If the person has clinical signs of HCL insufficiency (gas, bloating after eating, undigested food ins stools) and their blood test correlates, then HCL insufficiency is likely. Another way to accurately gauge HCL insufficiency is through HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis). Clinicians have identified direct correlations between the Heidelberg ph test and low HTMA values. ~~~End of Article~~~ Several years ago, I had a Heidelberg pH Test (swallowed tethered capsule that measured pH and transmitted data to doctor's laptop) and was told I had low stomach acid. The provider told me the standard alternative medicine advice to start taking capsules of HCl w/Pepsin. I was told to begin with one capsule with meals containing at least 20 grams of protein. I was told to do that for two days and if I didn't experience any warm feeling in my stomach to increase the dose to two capsules per meal for two more days. And, so on. I got up to about five capsules per meal per day with no warm feeling and I was worried about going too high and possibly causing problems. So, I spoke to my functional medicine doctor about the issue and he said "Eh, okay. You can stop taking them." His lack of interest made me wonder if he even knew what he was doing or if he was just guessing. I mean, if he really believed in the pH Gastrogram study and the HCl capsules as the solution, I thought he might try to persuade me to keep going for a while longer. But, nope. He dropped it like a hot rock. That seemed like a waste of several hundred dollars. I know Steve Wright and Jordan Reasoner (SCD Lifestyle) have the same thinking about titrating up on capsules, but I now see there's a lot of people just repeating things in the "Health" space. Actually, I think their advice was based on the advice of Jonathan V. Wright, MD of Tahoma Clinic in Washington state. From what little I know about you, I'm pretty sure you've read all the stuff I have...and, much more. I don't know if you ever experienced it, but I'm frustrated from trying to figure out just what the heck is correct. I've been dealing with a lot more serious issues (Lyme, unemployment, both types of sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, and more) and the continual searching for answers is exhausting and it drains what precious little mental and physical energy I can muster. Thanks, my friend. Sorry for the long message.

Hello very detailed video however im having trouble determining if im low acid or not still. I did the baking soda test and burped before 2 min which according to that should meam i have normal sufficient acid. But i have had issues since forever with eating and then wanting to burp after eating so much that i throw up in mouth a little. This is pretty much case all the time so much so that its mire comfortable to have sprite or food in stomah than nothing because when its nothing i kust feel burning in throat and stomach pike lava. If im wanting to burp up water food etc then is this a sign of low acid or not and i also seem to feel like i can taste food in stomach hrs after eating. Baking soda test said i have normal acid but im not sure. Another important symptom is that for months I was getting ulcer canker sore looking things in top of throat felt like strep throat but it was not. Also often I get globus feeling or choking feeling like throat muscles are being stressed or something. I keep burping and stomach feels like a fire are any these signs of a stomach ulcer?
@@KickItNaturally I know I was just telling you that I did a urine pH you said to go out and get urine test strips so I did and my urine pH is like a 6.5 that’s why I said acidic but I guess if you’re doesn’t matter how do we test stomach?
Wow! So much of this is me and has been me for years. I have gone to see countless doctors about it which has given me PTSD as they’ve all been so dismissed and unheard. May I ask when using ACV, how would I take it just before a meal, so I mix with a little water and just neck it like a shot? Just before eating?

Is there a fullproof medical test to say if the stomach acid is low or high. My encologist assumed mine was too high as I had so much reflux for years. He put me on acid lowering meds and now my nutrient levil is so low that I have ridges on my nails, hair loss, lack of energy and more!
Which of these signs do you experience?
ALL of them Thanks!
tapeworm
A lot of them. But after a couple of months of getting on betaine HCl and digestive enzymes, I'm still having pain really high up in the stomach after everything I eat. Even water sometimes. Tired of being in pain. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Wondering if there's a point where maybe I'm supposed to get off the HCl? Because it seemed to be working well for a while and I had weeks of no pain. Maybe it's too much now?
Same here…all of those symptoms…all while going to the doctors and begging for help. I have Betaine HCL and Ox bile (no gall bladder) but I was talking them improperly. Based Hale‘s videos, the HCL is taken with the meal to acidify the stomach. Bile is taken 1 -1/2 hours after the meal to replace the bile that would normally be added in the intestines.
Well, almost all. But why is it when I eat acidic foods (like fermented), I still get those symptoms? Is it the nature of the acids?
1. Burping & Bloating 2. Heart burn, Reflux, gastroesophageal GERD 3. Indigestion or digestive discomfort 4. Chronic nausea 5. Chronic Constipation.Green poop, undigested food in pooh 6. Loss of appetite. 7 OR feeling hungry 8. Low energy 9. Significant craving especially for sugar 10. Imbalanced blood pressure (high or low blood pressure).
All joint pain ??
Also shortness of breathing due to LPR ( due low stomach acid) ??????
8 out of 10 is me. My doctor says it gall stones but I feel it's something else
@@mikewolf-x6tHello since when do you have this problem please replay me

Seems like @ASIE BLINK is on to something here. Good thing they put a share button on every video. :)
I literally burped hundreds of times every day. I told my Dr. He just stared at me like I was a specimen in a jar. 😣 Eventually another Dr. removed my gallbladder. I actually had a huge gallstone. 😢 You have taught me so much! I am better thanks to you. So many years of pain and discomfort that were totally avoidable! Do Dr's just not care? It is so simple, why don't they seem to know how the body works? I am learning. Thanks for being my teacher!
So glad you're finding some answers and some relief. and it's not that doctors don't care, they are just following what they are taught.
I have them also
Perhaps "doctors just don't care" but even closer to the TRUTH is that doctors DO CARE about making money. They work hand in hand with BIG PHARMA and they subscribe, subscribe, subscribe - as much as possible! They also only learn a VERY NARROW version of what health is in medical school. Let's face it - their 3 main go-to's are RADIATE, CUT or MEDICATE. That's what they were taught and that is MOSTLY what they have to offer. That is why so many are seeking alternative methods of healing - or rather - many are seeking ways to heal vs. ways to cover up symptoms and continue to live life with an illness or disease as their doctor is not helping them to heal - and most do not even know how to heal. They simply know how to cover up symptoms - with medicines that are TOXIC - with long lists of so-called "side-effects" and they even include that they "could cause death" as one of the "side-effects". You MUST become your OWN doctor, learn how to listen to your body, do you own in depth research (as we can find MUCH info on the internet these days) and learn how to ascertain what resonates with you and your body and what does not. It is up to us now. DUMP THE SO-CALLED DOCTORS! Unless you utilize their equipment for diagnostics and such - or for a broken bone. Otherwise, seek out info on your own - or IF you can afford it - look for a "Functional Medicine Doctor" - who will guide you in the wide spectrum of WAYS TO HEAL the body! Good luck! Stick with it. IT WORKS!
My husband has all 10 of these symptoms. He’s been diagnosed with gastroparesis. They have him on a bunch of antacids and a stomach coating medication. I keep having him watch your videos. He’s coming to a point of understanding that he needs to make a change.
Our video on gastroparesis could help: th-cam.com/video/-gxhYtADLGA/w-d-xo.html
Maybe let him know the goal is not to win the contest of having the most digestive symptoms. All 10 is a lot. :)
@
Thank you very much. He’s been dealing with this for over a decade and it seems to be getting worse over time. I personally don’t like the treatments they are using. All of the medications 💊 that make it worse! His GI told him that this is his life now and he’ll just have to come in every 1-3 months as needed to balloon the openings, until it gets so bad that they’ll have him on a colostomy bag! I was stunned! I couldn’t believe his GI doctor believes that! This is NOT okay with us!
I have all of these. Everything is making so much sense now.
Glad you're finding some answers. Let us know how it goes.
Brilliant 👏
I was going through all of these symptoms about 8 years ago and discovered I had low stomach acid. I bought Bethune HCI Pepsin Gentian bitters, within a week or so it was over. My stomach has always been my Achilles heel. It all starts in our stomach.
So you dont have acid reflux anymore?
Hi there, can you tell me if you have bloating and if this supplement or substance, you took helped it
@@fidelmavahey5557did you fix it ??
I've been aware of low stomach acid for some time now and have been adding ACV to a glass of water before meals (plus Flaxseeds already softened in water overnight and Olive Oil). However, I never realized low blood pressure is also linked to low acid. Excellent information - I now know why!
How do you feel after taking ACV? I also have low stomach acid because I don’t digest food properly. Do you have h pylori infection ? Pls share your experience.
@@mercyajoke3475 Absolutely fine. I don't have h Pylori infection, but taking 2 tsp of the vinegar in a full glass of lukewarm water the ACV tastes like a soft drink. However, if you add Extra Virgin Oil to your regime, this will heal the skin on the inside of your gut. Take from 2 tsp. to 1 tbsp of olive oil every day, and if you suffer from itchy, eczematous skin, the olive oil will help reduce this problem too, and probably heal it altogether. Look up Dr Mandell on TH-cam, he explains best the benefits of these ancient healing remedies.
Too thanks to you.
I was seeing something on how salt contributes to acid production.

I think you’re super. I became a nutritional therapist in the 90; now retired. It’s love lay to be able to watch your videos, which are clear and concise
I really appreciate that coming from a pro. :)
The best video ever! Low stomach acid gave me vision problems and headaches and many severe consequences
Thanks so much for sharing this.
I've had vertigo for months that started along with my stomach problems. Wonder if this could be it!
Excellent video! A coworker did have a subset of these symptoms. 1) Certain foods made him severely boated. 5. His stools were creamy, yet constipating, irritating, and always had a scent. 7) Always hungry. 10) Charlie horses (sign of low minerals). Great progress was made with introducing acid (e.g., apple cider vinegar, vegan betaine HCL, tangerines) when he ate. Haven't tried sparkling water, yet. His stools are now good texture, the bloating is dramatically improved, but stools need more darkening, so I watched the video on the bile flush. Challenge is he has a history of kidney stones so he avoids oxalate-rich foods like beets and spinach. Suggestions?
Here is our video on oxalate mistakes: th-cam.com/video/pC5-MxW9d_g/w-d-xo.html
This is 4th video I have watched on the digestive system and low acid production with various health practitioners and the general public who has fixed their digestion without medications. It seems so simple to fix and we all need to start from the second point of digestion ( mouth being the first) to eradicate our gut issues. Well done for enlightening us :)

🤔 Interesting !!! I had duodenum ulcer many decades ago. I was skin and bones ( not anymore 😢 ) because as soon as the food hit my stomach, I had to run. Was coming back. After a while I got better, but I am ALWAYS nauseous ever since. I saw SO MANY " doctors " since, BUT this is the first time I heard the answer, so THANK YOU ! 🙏
I'm having chronic diarrhea too if i eat spicy food so my diet is only boil no junk. How did you heal yours?😢
@@Calmingsoul-r5i I didn't had diarrhea. I was throwing up, as soon as I swallowed the food.
Really appreciated your humor!!!!!
thank you. I appreciate that.
Love the style of the disclaimer 😂😂😂
Thank you I feel full for hours! And pass so much gas and it’s stinky.
I have a very peculiar case.
Gallbladder removed, fatty liver, hiatal hernia repaired, h. Pylori positive, low gastrointestinal acid, partial hysterectomy at 36, and just 2 years ago menopause finally kicked in. Possibly sibo or leaky gut.
I'm 52 years old. I weight 140 pounds, 5'4".
I used to be very athletic and participated in many triathlons, marathons, etc.
After my hysterectomy, everything went down hill.
Diagnosed with H.pylori last year, two rounds of antibiotics and my bitter mouth taste 24/7.
I've tried HCL, aloe vera-ginger, L glutamine, swiddish bitters, ACV, celery juice, bone broth, no dairy, no grains, no sugar diet.
Can I live a healthy live after all these issues?
I don't know how to target every issue.
I was in the emergency room last night for two hours for 9 out of the 10 symptoms you mentioned .While I’m waiting to be seen I’m looking up videos and found your video!! 🙏🏼 Thank you so much!! I had two rounds of antibiotics for a tooth and almost back to back. I just ended the last round about 10 days ago. I had a flareup of Gerd bc of the antibiotics So I was taking my PPIs for the last week which I now know caused my low acid . Even on a gut friendly diet for all 7 days!! But now I know it wouldn’t even matter bc there wasn’t enough stomach acid to kill the bad guys!
I couldn’t believe out of 10 of the symptoms I had nine of them! When I got home Iimmediately had a cup of ACV before my meal and one after. I also went online and got a little juicer. I did watch your video about celery juice so I did my first juice today so far so good. I also put lemon juice in my water bottle, I notice a little burping today but cut those symptoms down to only a few!!!!!
Wow, glad you're okay. And yeah, you don't need to try and go for a high score with the symptoms. :)

Heartburn and acid reflux are caused by low digestive enzymes; your body compensates by secreting HCl, which is what causes indigestion and eventually acid reflux.
I have had the chronic laryngitis thing for 30 years. I hear you had it for eight. Congratulations on beating it. Mine occurred after a bad cold I got while binge drinking in Mexico. Lost my voice then and life has sucked ever since. Socializing sucks etc etc etc. You know what I am talking about, no pun intended. Most people dont have a clue and kind of role their eyes when you whine about it then when they get a bout of laryngitis for three days they take off work and because it is so difficult to communicate but still roll their eyes when you bring it up. I was hoping I had silent reflux and apple cider vinegar would fix it but it hasn't really helped. I also tried the inhaling of a baking soda water mist to neutralize the pepsin but that hasn't really helped. Is there a good diagnostic to check if you actually have low acid? Like you, I saw dozens of doctors, ENT's. PPI's , voice therapy, etc. nothing helped. My diagnosis is muscular dysphonia by the way. Cheers! Dan

TC,
If u have any of these symptoms, should u yea or nay on fermented foods like raw saucerkraut? Should I kick the raw cabbage in the nuts, if I have poor bile flow.
My candida screams daily!
The symptoms aren't usually enough to figure that out. I just like to see clients use those in moderation. Probiotics are good, but that doesn't mean pounding the body with them nonstop is better. But I guess I need to make a condida video. I'll add that to the list.

Hello what is the permant treatment?
I've been dealing with stomach pain for 2 1/2 years ever since I had open heart surgery . They kept telling me how great I would feel after I healed ! That never happened , started going to my GP gave me PPI's did nothing told me to keep taking them I went to two GI Doctors they gave me thousands of dollars worth of tests declared I had IBS, and then gave me a prescription that made things worse. Then last weekend I talked to this Dr. that was camping at my place up in the Sierra and he was a neurologist but when I said my stomach never felt right after surgery the first thing he says is antibiotic from the surgery killing all my good bacteria and that was after the GI DR' told me it had nothing to do with my stomach pain . Now I i'd like to thank the GI doctor for not knowing shit !! maybe he was last in his class at medical school. So I have some pro and pre-Biotics but never took them regularly but now I have and my stomach is starting to feel better . After watching your video's I will start the other things Like pretty sure I have low stomach acid now and an overgrowth of some kind of bad bacteria This sucks feeling like crap for over two years because GI doctors don't know about all this . Seems like all they want to do is give you Colonoscopy and endoscopes it took me a month to recoup from that
Here is my video about how I went through a similar situation, but I went through 23 different doctors and it took me 8 years to figure it out on my own,. th-cam.com/video/Ry_mGzS6JU4/w-d-xo.html

Hi, is low stomach acid more common than too much stomach acid?

My question is... what are the signs of possibly too much stomach acid? I don't burp or belch. However, I have chronic diarrhea every day - would this condition be the stomach acids are so strong that my system is being flushed out? I don't feel I'm getting any nutrition and my body is breaking down. I probably should not take digestive enzymes? Thank you.
Hi @S. Stephens, in most cases, it's more about a lack of bile flow and inability to neutralize the acids. This video will explain more: th-cam.com/video/HUw3NuPGswI/w-d-xo.html

@@KickItNaturally thank you for your answer.
I speed read your book. Unfortunately in Canada I cannot find beet bile. I take bile salts before eating and HCI with pepsin.
I’m confused. Some say it had to be with pepsin and some say not with pepsin. It’s pretty expensive from Pure company and I don’t want to throw them out.
I also take Artemisia 2 capsules X 3 to kill parasites and bad bacteria and 2 Billion Bacillus coagulans.
Have five strain Bifido probiotics but stoped taking them after I felt weird.
I am dealing with constipation and bloating. I’m not sure if is from antidepressants small dose I’m taking and perimenopause hormonal but it’s driving me insane when I see this stupid belly swelling after I eat.
Never in my life o went through this. It’s all new like six months. I believe the antidepressants messed my gut.
Unfortunately I cannot cold turkey them because horrible withdrawals risk and I will take at least a year to wean myself of.

Can you please explain to me why I can eat steak and have no trouble with digestion, but when I eat grains (including gluten free) I get indigestion and reflux??? I do take HCL acid with these, which does help, but if my HCL is so low - according to your information I should not be able to digest meat easily. Like I said, I can eat meat with no HCL supplement and experience no digestive problems at all. It seems to be something more than just HCL levels alone?

Hey, T.C.: I wonder if you might comment on the article below from functional medicine practitioner Michael McEvoy?
~~~~~
*The HCL Challenge: Why the Conventional Test is Dead Wrong*
The conventional HCL challenge test involves the ingestion of Betaine Hydrochloride in order to gauge if the parietal cells of your stomach are producing adequate amounts of stomach acid. The test typically involves taking one HCL pill with food and then increasing by one per day until a burning occurs. If burning takes place at a low dose it is thought that this is because your stomach is producing adequate HCL. And if a burning occurs at a higher dose it is thought that it is due to low levels of HCL production in the stomach.
The problem is that this is absolutely not what is really happening with this test.
In fact, if a small dose of HCL produces burning, it is not because you have adequate HCL at all. If HCL supplements produce burning it indicates rather that your mucosal barrier is damaged! The HCL is producing burning because the acid is burning exposed tissues.
Under normal, healthy circumstances, a person should be able to tolerate a lot of Betaine HCL. HCL only contains about 2-3% hydrogen. The clinical response that occurs with Betaine HCL supplementation is more due to the Betaine than from HCL! If you are experiencing burning with only 500-3,500 mg of HCL, your gastro intestinal mucosal barrier is in a state of distress. Many researchers believe that a person with a healthy mucosal barrier should be able to tolerate upto 26 capsules of Betaine HCL!
People who are recommending HCL supplementation to people that having burning sensations after an HCL challenge test are only contributing to the breakdown of the mucosa. It is possible (and likely) that a person with a damaged mucosal barrier may have low levels of HCL being produced by their stomach, and have a need for more stomach acid. However, the mucosal barrier needs to be repaired first! Otherwise the implications are not good.
How Can One Test for Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid)?
The Heidelberg ph test is probably the most accurate way to gauge HCL insufficiency. However this test is invasive and the Heidelberg machines are not easy to find. Blood tests can identify Hypochlorhydria fairly well, especially if the chloride value is less than 100, and if the Co2 level is greater than 27. However, chloride and Co2 values also identify other variables in the body. If the person has clinical signs of HCL insufficiency (gas, bloating after eating, undigested food ins stools) and their blood test correlates, then HCL insufficiency is likely.
Another way to accurately gauge HCL insufficiency is through HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis). Clinicians have identified direct correlations between the Heidelberg ph test and low HTMA values.
~~~End of Article~~~
Several years ago, I had a Heidelberg pH Test (swallowed tethered capsule that measured pH and transmitted data to doctor's laptop) and was told I had low stomach acid. The provider told me the standard alternative medicine advice to start taking capsules of HCl w/Pepsin. I was told to begin with one capsule with meals containing at least 20 grams of protein. I was told to do that for two days and if I didn't experience any warm feeling in my stomach to increase the dose to two capsules per meal for two more days. And, so on.
I got up to about five capsules per meal per day with no warm feeling and I was worried about going too high and possibly causing problems. So, I spoke to my functional medicine doctor about the issue and he said "Eh, okay. You can stop taking them." His lack of interest made me wonder if he even knew what he was doing or if he was just guessing. I mean, if he really believed in the pH Gastrogram study and the HCl capsules as the solution, I thought he might try to persuade me to keep going for a while longer. But, nope. He dropped it like a hot rock.
That seemed like a waste of several hundred dollars. I know Steve Wright and Jordan Reasoner (SCD Lifestyle) have the same thinking about titrating up on capsules, but I now see there's a lot of people just repeating things in the "Health" space. Actually, I think their advice was based on the advice of Jonathan V. Wright, MD of Tahoma Clinic in Washington state.
From what little I know about you, I'm pretty sure you've read all the stuff I have...and, much more. I don't know if you ever experienced it, but I'm frustrated from trying to figure out just what the heck is correct. I've been dealing with a lot more serious issues (Lyme, unemployment, both types of sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, and more) and the continual searching for answers is exhausting and it drains what precious little mental and physical energy I can muster. Thanks, my friend. Sorry for the long message.
I haven't read the article, but I can say I don't use the "HCL test" everyone else uses either.
Hi came across your videos I just started watching I’m on my 3 day taking bile salts . I decided to watch on acid in stomach, wow I feel bloated and tired weight gain, some time I feel Nashua. Heart burn, and not always hungry can you get me on right path

Hello very detailed video however im having trouble determining if im low acid or not still.
I did the baking soda test and burped before 2 min which according to that should meam i have normal sufficient acid.
But i have had issues since forever with eating and then wanting to burp after eating so much that i throw up in mouth a little. This is pretty much case all the time so much so that its mire comfortable to have sprite or food in stomah than nothing because when its nothing i kust feel burning in throat and stomach pike lava.
If im wanting to burp up water food etc then is this a sign of low acid or not and i also seem to feel like i can taste food in stomach hrs after eating.
Baking soda test said i have normal acid but im not sure.
Another important symptom is that for months I was getting ulcer canker sore looking things in top of throat felt like strep throat but it was not.
Also often I get globus feeling or choking feeling like throat muscles are being stressed or something.
I keep burping and stomach feels like a fire are any these signs of a stomach ulcer?
That’s why I asked you about the pH when I did a urine test trip. It came back at like 6.5.
Urine pH has nothing to do with stomach pH
@@KickItNaturally I know I was just telling you that I did a urine pH you said to go out and get urine test strips so I did and my urine pH is like a 6.5 that’s why I said acidic but I guess if you’re doesn’t matter how do we test stomach?
Wow! So much of this is me and has been me for years. I have gone to see countless doctors about it which has given me PTSD as they’ve all been so dismissed and unheard. May I ask when using ACV, how would I take it just before a meal, so I mix with a little water and just neck it like a shot? Just before eating?
ACV only helps a small percentage of people who only need a little boost. This video goes over how to improve low stomach acid: th-cam.com/video/Ry4ZgCT686Q/w-d-xo.html

The volume is a little low. But, great information!
Noted!
Is there a fullproof medical test to say if the stomach acid is low or high. My encologist assumed mine was too high as I had so much reflux for years. He put me on acid lowering meds and now my nutrient levil is so low that I have ridges on my nails, hair loss, lack of energy and more!
It's very common for doctors to hand out acid reducing medications.
