Betaine HCl Side Effects (Safe for Methane/IMO?)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ม.ค. 2022
- Betaine hydrochloride (also known as betaine HCI or betaine HCL) is a chemical compound that can help increase our stomach acid. It is usually taken by people with Gerd, IBS, or SIBO. But is it the right thing to take? Is it advisable for people with methane overgrowth? Why do you experience side effects after using betaine HCl?

I started taking Betaine HCl about 2 months ago to address reflux at night during sleep that frequently caused night time vomiting. It's working great, with a very pleasing side effect--- I've lost approx 20 lbs without changing my diet!
How many times and when did you take the betaine hcl?
Is the weight still gone and how are you doing now?
Yeah I wake up throwing up after eating a bunch of food just acid or something small amount of spit or something
This video is addressing Betaine HCL effects on IMO/ intestinal methanogen overgrowth…did you (or do you) have that?
@@barbiekat6352 I've never heard that term. When I saw the Betaine HCL video, I remember that a friend mentioned taking it on the advice of her naturopathic doctor and it helped her a lot.
One of the best videos I've seen yet. I have GERD so I just put my Betaine HCL into storage. Thank you!
Nikki, thank you for this information. Your delivery, disposition and knowledge is refreshing
Excellent video ! You're so good at explaining things for the non-medical person, thanks.
Excellent overview. Something that is interesting in commercial animal farming research is that Trimethylglycine increases muscle mass, but providing the TMG as Betaine-Hcl does not have the same effect. Something about the metabolism of the two different forms may be different.
Dr. Nicole, you are sooo wonderful in explaining things! your knowledge from your clients. You know sooo so much. Thank you. Methylation as a hole topic would be awesome
Complicated concepts explained in a way that makes understanding so easy... thank you!
That's what my channel is all about, my friend 🥰
I have mold in the body I think ive have had a little reaction but its so little. So can I still take betain hcl?
I have Also silent reflux
Great informative video. As always I enjoyed and appreciate your video!
Thank you Dr. Dinezza. Your videos have helped put together so many missing pieces to the puzzle regarding all my various digestive issues. Im still in rough shape but your videos have been more helpful to me than the G.I. doctor and the multiple Naturopaths Im currently seeing that have drained my bank account and left me in worse shape than when I started. I would love to be treated by you but currently don't have any funds left to make that possible so I was wondering when enrollment for you course will commence? Or please make smaller package for treatment. One that poor people can afford. Thank you so much for your videos, they have been a life changer for me by giving me at least a place to start.
Try keto! Check out Dr.berg
A Dr. that tells the truth, and actually admits it when her knowledge could be greater on certain subjects. I am an Alchemist and know alot about the human body but can always use a little help with certain subjects and you are fantastic at that, however you need more viewers, I will try to help with that, your knowledge is greater than 350 views. Keep up the good work, I am now a subscriber and like every vid, Thank you.
I've been learning so much from you in the last days! Please do more content on methylation and MTHFR. Thank you.
Actually, I firmly believe that the whole methylation/MTHFR is way overblown. I got really into this topic (it feels so snazzy to customize things based on your genetics!) for a year or two before realizing it was a bunch of smoke and mirrors... and I say this as a compound heterozygous MTHFR carrier myself 😉
That being said, Amy and I discussed this at length in our two b vitamin episodes over on the IBS Freedom Pod 😊 Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/LFBhaW_tj9g/w-d-xo.html
@@gutmicrobiomequeen Thanks, Doc! I did watch that and it was so interesting and mind blowing for me.
I have mold in the body I think ive have had a little reaction but its so little. So can I still take betain hcl?
I have acid reflux and have been told it’s because I don’t have enough acid in the stomach instead of too much. I’ve been taking omeprazole for 40 years to control this by tamping down the amount of acid. Then I was told the problem was not having enough so that that valve that closes off the acid isn’t triggered enough to close tightly and you get acid running up the esophagus. I am having sinus problems and drainage and irritated throat lately. This betaine stuff was recommended to increase acid and stop that from happening. Dr. Berg recommends this on TH-cam. And the comments have all been very good. But you sort of burst my bubble with your warning about Gerd. It’s so confusing for the layman because we listen to people saying opposite things, at least that’s the way it sounds.
Ok, so got Dr. Berg’s Advanced Digestive Formula yesterday frm Amazon. Betain HCL 100mg with proprietary blend. ACV, ginger, peppermint leaf, anise and fennel seed. Took 1 pill during meal. No burning stomach, no reflux afterwards. Same result after breakfast and dinner tonight. I did not take the usual Pantoprazole 40 mg half an hour before eating. No bloating, either. Neti pot for sinuses. I am afraid of the salt you use with Nettie pot because of my tinnitus but so far only a mild spike. We’ll see what happens with that by tomorrow.
There is no evidence as results may vary from person to person. Have you been taking Betaine HCL with pepsin? If so, has the gut system improved?
I took it for acid refux and it was a miracle also I stopped using sugar in my coffee!!!! Sugar stop ur digestion!!!! Sweeted coffee creamer doesn't cause heartburn tho. Just straight sugar. That threw me to when she said that. Take care.
@@jonskitch8082 I was pretty happy with this stuff until suddenly everything went bad. Very bad. I had to stop immediately and go back on omeprazole.
@@daviddewitt9365 Bad how?
Thank you very mutch dr
this is the most beautiful video that i have watched about hcl
Just found your channel recently, and I am hooked! Can we say binge watching?
Anyway, I just found this video, and I was wondering if you ever ended up doing a video on methylation? I am concerned about a recurring HPV infection and was told methylation had something to do with it. I am also low on stomach acid among other Microbiome issues that I am working to correct.
Amazing content thank for sharing
Betaine hcl saved me from severe methaine SIBO
Good stuff! Thanks Doc!
Thanks so much Dr Nicole - one of the best explanation videos for imo patients like me. I watched a video from Dr Rusccio recently where he was sharing abt the new info from Dr pimentel on bet hcl increasing hydrogen and (this is spooky) I had the same response asking him if we should stop drinking water. I have had digestive issues for a few years but I feel like you are spot on and would like to become a patient someday!
Thank you Dr. DiNezza, Betaine/HCL with Pepsin has been a God send to me and has brought me back with the living!!!!
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that!
Bang on..cabbage is now in my life once again..the first dose l took,stopped acid reflux in its tracks..Betaine forever..🇨🇦
What issue do you have that HCL helps? Indigestion? Bloating? Burping?
Than you for this useful info!
Do you have a book out on GI track problems? Your pod casts are great! How much do you know about lectins in foods?
Thank you for this in depth video. I started taking betaine HCl for low stomach acid to help with bloating. I finally noticed that it was making me extremely fatigued, drowsy, and dizzy. To the point I’d have to take a nap after eating. not sure if that has to do with the methyl or the detox pathways you mentioned. I have had to stop. I also did not see any improvements in my bloating but I only took it for about a week.
Did you find any answers? I wish you received a response here!
Do a video on methylation cofactors and the information theory of aging.
Hi Dr. Nicole. What do you think it is the best test for Parasites? (I know is not directly related to this Vid. but I would really apreciate your answer)
I watched your video while betaine hair for the very first time ! I have been having to eat everything that I am going to eat by 5:00 or I would have to sleep sitting up ! I am praying this fixes it
I have a question about the betaine molecule. Is it the same as the trimethylglycine molecule and ca it donate a methyl group?
Great demonstration ! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge & clinical experience (I have made it my goal to watch all your videos). And thank you, also, for unraveling the myths of the SIBO space - it allows one to breathe, de-stress and regain some rationality.
If I'm following the logic here demonstrated, I deduce that apple cider vinegar is not supposed to be a problem either (the difference being that the hydrogen, in the ACV, is not bound!? > i'm not a chemistry expert😁). I'm asking because I'd like to make French dressing again from time to time (I'm tired of lettuce drizzled with oil 😩)
Greetings from France (where our GIs are really, really, really less less less told about SIBO than yours)
Hello! Yes, ACV should be fine too. Honestly, there is so much Hydrogen in your body already, any additional shouldn't do anything. I think this whole theory is hot garbage 🗑
Go enjoy some real salad dressing, my friend!
@@gutmicrobiomequeen Dear Dr., I thank you for this answer which delights me. Blessed be the day when I will find salads worthy of the name. In my eyes, you are more deserving of the title of Gut Microbiome Empress ;-)
@@pierre-alain6596 you just made my day 🥰🤣 I immediately read your comment to my husband 🥰🥰
@@gutmicrobiomequeen 😁
Very interesting. I would like to know why on the betaine hcl bottle it says to avoid it in case of cardiovascular condition. Was taking if for two weeks and feeling great. Then, my blood pressure skyrocketed to 200/115 and went to the ER. Was prescribed blood pressure medication. Dr didn't know why it happened to me because blood results came back perfect. 53 years old woman menopaused for a year now.
Dr. Dinezza, what does one do if they have issues with methylation/sensitivity to hcl but also need to increase stomach acid. Is there any other good option? Is ACV powerful enough?
Please can you make a video about people with h.pylori can take HCL ?
Thanks
Hi I tried Betain HCl with pepsin and after half an hour my joint stat aching .
Is joint pain is also side effect of betain Hcl.please guide
Is it possible that the body makes purposely methane CH4 to provide methyl groups CH3?
Dr Pimentel seemed to say that they found that patients with IMO lack a normal reaction in their pancreas to thinking about food, chewing etc.
Is it possible that patients with methane overgrowth are not neutralizing the acid properly?
If your bile has sludged up because of lack of acid production, eating too much sugar, grains or other reasons it may not be able to flow well enough to totally neutralize that extra acid going into the small intestine. The symptoms of this are lighter colored stool and diarrhea. Just make sure the bile is free flowing before starting betaine hcl. A product called beet flow is good for this.
I take Betaine HCL with pepsin together with CREON . Don't have half pancreas stomach or gallbladder after Whipple.
Hi Dr DiNezza I learned so much from this video that makes so much sense for me! I think you mentioned one, but is there a multi vitamin that has low B vitamins or not methylated?
I haven't been able to take multi vitamins for the past 9 months, I narrowed it down to the B vitamins making my heart race and very jittery. I would be unable to sleep at all if I take them. I had sibo last spring 2021 treated with Xyfaxin twice, which I feel made a mild histamine intolerance so much worse that I almost wish I didn't treat the sibo. I listened to you and I'm eating small amounts of all foods and tolerating them so well even cruciferous veggies!! I was really down to 5 foods for 1 1/2 years and I just couldn't keep going low fodmap even though that's what I was told to do by my doctors. For all of us with histamine intolerence is there a mutlti vitamin for us? Thank you so much!
Try to do a dysbiosis test (stools) - it is called GI map in English - to check the status of your bacteria in the colon. I had a lot of histamine intolerances, lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome (mild). I missed some essential beneficial bacteria. After supplemention with probiotics most of those intolerances were gone. Vitamins are doing little for SIBO other than compensating for deficiencies if you have them and they can even make symptoms worse. Antibiotics irritate the gut so you need some time to recover (glutamine, quercetin, poultry). Eating a bit of everything - reintroducing foods back - is certainly a very good idea. Good luck!
Thank you Ana Beth helpful information!
Autocorrect lol I meant very helpful information!
Look at Seeking Health brand which has non methylated vitamins.
Is it normal to have an acidic taste in the mouth after taking Betaine HCL with Pepsin & gelatin bitters with my meal? This is the first time I took it.
I cannot find pure betaine HCL they all come with digestive enzymes like pepsin. Is it safe to take in high doses as I have very low stomach acid.
Thank you so much dr Nicole, the informations you gave were very helpful,
I started using pancreatic enzymes a year and half ago, and i had some good results with them but i think adding Ox bile supplement will make a huge difference, Indigestion is my most frustrating symptom and I'm 100% sure it's caused by bacterial overgrowth,
Many thanks from bahrain.
Stay away from ox bile.. that stuff is toxic for human consumption and horrendous for the Liver
@@toneman8478 well I just started taking ox bile supplement yesterday with low does (60 mg) per meal, and also decreased my taking of pancreatic enzymes and l saw a little reliefe of my overall symptoms so i guess I'm going to need a higher dose of ox bile. Anyway it's just temporary untill I start a course of antibiotics for sibo. Anyway thanks for your advice🙏
@@toneman8478 Wow, why is it toxic? Thanks for sharing
@@sannamuh985 it's from an animal which is foreign to out bodies.. We have bile that's completely different than an animals bile so when you take it your Liver is freaking out. If you really want to know more start reading Anthony Williams medical medium books
Please us vitamin B complex in liquid. It is excellent for digestion and acid reflux , heart burn and stomach acid.
Good job 🎉😮👏👍
It is time that you make a video for IMO especially IMO in large intestine
Exceptional lecture. I want to mention that if hydrogen turns into water after it is consumed that is not a good thing for someone having diarrhea issues because you are not supposed to have water in the colon. Water is supposed to be absorbed and whatever your body does not absorb ends up in the colon and irritates the colon and draws water into it where it does not belong and causes diarrhea. Fluids belong in the bladder, not the colon so based on what the body does to hydrogen that's not a good thing
If betaine hcl worsened methane sibo it would necessarily worsen hydrogen sibo and hydrogen sulfide sibo as well for the same reason, the hydrogen molecule.
Hello Dr. Nicole. With IMO, i can still take betain hcl? It wont add gas to the methanogens? Hoping for your kind reply.
she said yes, with methane growth/sibo you can definitely take them and would benefit from it.. Because hydrogen in HCL is neutralized by bile and pancreatic enzymes when it leaves the stomach, so no problem with methane silo people taking HCL. it even helps because acid activates pancreatic enzyme and bile production.
Great helpful video, my whole health doctor wanted me to try Betaine HCI, and I wasn't sure if there were any risks. I didn't want to create more problems or start getting ulcers. How do I know if I have low stomach acid in the first place? Is there a test I can do to determine my stomach acid? I feel like I am throwing supplements at my body and just hoping something works like how people throwing replacement parts at their cars. I did have a GI Map stool test which came back positive for H. Pylori and for a parasite Giardia. I did have some bacteria that were high, but from that test result, can it be known if I have Sibo or something else based on bacteria levels?
That is a very good question that I would.d ,like to know the answer to as well.
I was told that you can add 1 tsp baking soda to some water and drink that, and you should burp within 2-3 minutes. Apparently if you don’t, you’re low on stomach acid.
Exactly!!!! How do we know FOR SURE?
@@rebeccalofft6855- 1/4 tsp in 8 oz of water.
please make a video about methylation:)
so... could to much betaine hcl cause excessive mucus in ur stool? ...or possibility not enough? thank u
You’re great
I was thinking about using it for my intestinal metaplasia However, i am not sure is a good idea
hi there, can you take the betaine hcl if you have high blood pressure thanks tony
What if you aren't producing bile or it is think or sluggish?
Do you accept patients via telemedicine? I live in Melbourne FL, and wanted to have my wife see you in the future.
You have totally thrown me. I have had gerd ( reflux ) for about 20 years. Two years ago I had a NF op. Things were great for two years but sadly in the few months my gerd came back albeit not so bad as before. You have confused me because every source I have read on the internet says gerd and reflux are caused by low stomach acid. Because the les is ph sensitive. I,e when the stomach had optimal acidity 1~3 ph then the les stays closed. But when the ph is above 3 then the les is loosened and acid splashes up the oesophagus.? So why do you not recommend taking HCL to cure this problem. BTW I’m taking it with pepsin as well. Thanks . I started taking it a few days ago. I took one with my lunch and one with my evening meal. That night I got up with a funny feeling in my stomach. Then I came over faint ,dizzy and then had hot and cold sweats. I went straight back to bed and I recovered within a couple of minutes.
This is such a great question, Paul! The primary reasons I say this are:
1. There is little if any peer reviewed research proving the low acid --> GERD theory. Low stomach acid absolutely exists- I just find that it causes bloating and indigestion way more frequently than outright GERD.
2. Honestly, I need to be overly cautious when I'm giving advice on TH-cam and social media. I don't know each viewers medical history, symptoms, and test results, so I have to tailor my advice so that I know it's safe for 99.999999% of people watching. If you choose to try Betaine HCl for GERD with a doctor or someone who can supervise you, that's an entirely different thing.
Hope that offers some clarity!
There was comment that HCl also helps bile flow? I tend to get diarrhea when I take too much HCl. But perhaps it could be the bile triggered, because it seems i am a bit sensitive to that.
I took betaine for over a year and now if I take even one it goes straight through me. As well as making me to acidic which last for weeks on end. (Which caused rapid heartbeat and the feeling I couldn’t get enough air) I really do want answers because it used to work amazing. Digestive glandular has been saving me lately and hopefully no issues using that down the road🙏 I’m just trusting in my bodies ability to heal itself
yes it could be a problem with bile flow, check "Kick it naturally" video about bile and betaine hcl.
I'm at the same situation. When I take Betaine HCL I feel the digestion at stomach level better but I also tend to get diarrhea. I have IMO and took the treatment but after that, I get the same symptoms at intestines when I take Betaine HCL. It's so frustrating know that I'll feel better with the stomach if I take but not with the intestines and loose stools.
i have a hiatal hernia. im hoping this will kick my esophageal sphincter into gear.
Hi Dr. Dinezza, do you have a video on detoxing mold exposure?
Did you ever find anything! I have the link to low stomach acid , and now more autoimmune issues
@@shawnroberts5146 mold exposure can lead to low stomach acid?
@@llbianca that’s what seemed to happen to me
@@shawnroberts5146 how long did you experience the symptom? Did you clean up the mold? Did your low stomach acid got improved?
@@shawnroberts5146 by the way, may I have the link? Thanks.
I took betaine hcl because I heard it was good for GERD. I had a burning pain in my intestines and horrible and painful diarrhea. Does that mean my issue isn’t low acid production?
Check out "kick it naturally"'s video about bile flow and betaine hcl. It could be that your bile is not flowing well. In that case it is recommended that you work on that first.
Please does hydrochloric acid cause kidney problems
You explained some of this in another video .
I used vast quantities of Betaine that I think I didn't need now at all .also too much probiotics . I have reduced and I am going to illuminate hcl .I don't need it and it helps build methain .
What helped me was vitamin B1 as in benfotimin ,with all b vitamins. And bananas . I highly recommend bananas and cantaloupe .
And ox bile , bile salts . I take oxbile in morning and at night before bed and the bile salts at meal times . That has brought results .not hcl .
Your video helped me put it together .
Thankyou for talking about all of this .
If I need stomach help acv .
It’s also advised not to take betaine hcl if you have CBS mutation . I learned this the hard way .
Wow. Why would this be??
Like whats the explanation behind this
Sooo can you take the betaine and Hcl with methane in your gut?
Very interesting. What is your opinion on taking Betaine HCL with Ox Bile at the same time before meals. Would the "basic" bile cancel the "acidic" HCL making both useless?
From what I gathered...ox bile should be taken after meals not before.... because it alkaline unlike betaine...but you can make your own research.
a naturopath i know is trying to convince me not to get Amalgam fillings and even consider replacing my existing Amalgam fillings. are they really that bad? is it worth getting them removed or maybe doing some sort of mercury detox instead, or removed then metal detox?
Remove them.. who still has that
@@samfisher3856 a lot of people unfortunately….. some people have fillings from years ago when composite fillings weren’t as popular …. And even today go ask most dentists and they will tell you there is nothing wrong with amalgam fillings, bc that’s what they were trained to think in school… it’s that simple. Also removing them isn’t that easy/simple nor is it that cheap. In the era of Sleepy Joe (aka Brandon) 1/3 of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. The middle class continues to shrivel up while the lower class and poverty is sky high.
I agree.Still have silver fillings.
My head is going to explode, is it safe or not? Please answer simple
Yes, please!!

I unsubscribed from her a long time ago bc of this very reason. It just popped up randomly.

Soooo...am I going to die if I take Betaine HCl? Yes? No? Maybe?
Can you take Betain HCL when you've had you gall bladder removed ?

Hi,doc can betaine HCl lower blood pressure?I'm taking betaine HCl 2 days 3x a day after meal then I check my blood pressure it's going down may blood pressure is 110-120 70-80 but now I starting taking betaine HCl I have 85/65?is that the effect of betaine HCl?
Fascinating! I haven't heard of this before, so I don't know! Maybe it has to do with the methyl donor thing I mentioned? Do methylated b vitamins do this to you too?
Xtian did you ever figure this out?
So is betaine HCL not scary in and of itself? In my mind I keep thinking that I will be swallowing acid pills but I have a feeling that they plus bile salts and pancreatic enzymes might help me. I was doing bitters for quite some time and they helped until they didn't. Eventually the bitters themselves started causing me reflux!
It does feed Methane Sibo dr mark permintal did a study on it and he's a Sibo doctor. I would never take this.
i have candida and sibo, after 3 weeks of starting the treatment for candida, I started the Sibo treatment then i started the Betain Hcl, i got so sick, dry body very irritated, clinching teeth, I felt like my nervous system is shutting down. i know I have low stomach acid, i can barely digest food so I need Hcl help, what should i do?
There are some other things that can helpful for digestion. Chewing on coriander, fennel, and ginger are good.
I have intrinsic factor and also MTHFR. I’ve also had gastritis but I can’t tell if I have gastritis at the moment or if my methane SIBO is coming back. Is there a test for gastritis or low stomach acid? Trying to figure out my root cause for the SIBO.
You can do endoskopy - It's called EGD with brava test. This will tell you what's your stomach acid pH is.
Didn’t work for me caused nausea. I switched to ACV and it’s magic
How do you take betaine hcl if your mucosal layer is compromised?
You really shouldn't if that's the case but you can try taking bismuth before you take the Betaine and see if it burns. If it burns stop use immediately. If you don't feel any burning sensation than proceed with caution. Listen to your body. It will let you know one way or the other.
Drs dish out ant acids ppis like sweets 30 years later causing or sooner almost these probs , I had scans endoscopy and not one picked up sibo , I had do all and they remarkably tried saying take omeprazole lmao , mad .they also don't check acid pH should be 1st thing do with checking anything else , whilst doing endoscopy, that's crazy too ,
SIBo test is the breathe test,
@@tonimcdaniel9110 yeah I know
Is if safe or not?

Hi Dr. I am taking almost 10 capsule of betain hcl with food but no burning sensation or any kind of discomfort. I even tried to take 1 capsule of betain hcl on empty stomach still no burning or discomfort at all. Can you explain whats happening?
U r not from this planet😂.
I developed an Ulcer last year from antibiotics and painkillers. Now I'm having stomach issues. I have symptoms of Candida/ sibo. I did the acid stomach test at home it took almost 3 minutes to burp. I started taking Super Anzymes from NOW supplements. And now I feel like if my stomach ulcer is back. The supplement contains Botaine HCL. This explains why I feel my ulcer coming back. I'm also drinking celery juice every morning to bring up my acid levels. What's another way to raise my acid level if I can't use the Botaine hcl? Any other foods I can use besides celery?
You need to take mastic gum or zinc l-carnosine.
This lady knows nothing at all in this video.

How long should we take betaine hcl to allow our body to build hydrochloric acid naturally?
Did you find any answer? I want to know the same
@@davidromero7823
Me too
!!?
2 weeks - if it does not make any difference or go worse (stop it). if improvement then increase the dosage 2, 3, as much as 4 before meals - a maximum of 8 a day. Once you reach i.e. 4 before a meal and it burns to step back to 3 but if ok continue. After further few weeks - carry out a stomach acid test - using baking soda and a glass of water. If the acid level has reached the optimum level then start reducing the dosage until the digestive system is self-sufficient and produces enough acid.
I found the Betaine HCL was helpful with my vitamin absorption. I hadn't had an issue with taking the HCL but I use it since I have to limit my sodium due to HBP.
Will it help with b12 absorption?
@@jrman413 B12 absorption is best by the right B12. I have the MTHFR gene so natural B12 works best.

@@gutmicrobiomequeen thank you for taking the time to search for it. ❤️
My liver enzymes are slightly elevated probably from taking digestive enzymes for months.....still have chronic constipation would switching over to Betaine HCL help or hurt my liver situation?
Did your doctor say the digestive enzymes caused it ? This is the first time I hear this. Would love to know if your liver issue resolved.
Did your doctor specifically say the enzyme caused that?
You Liver enzymes can be elevated because you can have fatty Liver coused by to much suger or alcohol
When I take acidic food, or take a pill of betain hcl, my methane breath test goes up by a lot, and the hydrogen levels go down. What do you think it is happening? I have a device that i use to test my hydrogen and methane levels, it is reliable.
Where did you get the device?
@@jillballard8615 foodmarble aire 2, you can test up to 10 times a day.
So i took hcl and ended up in the hospital. Like the ambulance had to escort me out of my bedroom onto a stretcher do to the side effects. I had major dehydration from this and my naturopath doctor didn’t inform me hcl works as a detoxification and my body doesn’t do well with most forms of detoxing. I was already in a very vulnerable state because there’s wasn’t enough stomach acid so my functioning had me with constant fatigue and crippling anxiety and depression. When the hcl was brought in and then after being on IV for a couple hours it seemed my body felt better and my appetite finally came back on after being on and off for so long. The thing is my doctor wants me to higher levels of b vitamins and Mangesium alongside daily electrolytes that have minerals in them. I do have a genetic mutation that is difficult with b12. There was more pros than cons with my hcl such as finally having stable vitamin d levels and also normal appetite alongside less joint pain because now my body can try to rid of parasites causing the joint pain and shortness of breath. My whole situation in my body seems to be areas feeling stuck and very stagnant. I’m still limited in things to do because I still neeed to build more stomach acid but I have to focus on mitchondria support right now.
Wow I just took some betaine hcl and my blood pressure went up to 200/150. I had to call the ambulance as well. I thought I was having a heart attack. Your the only person I found who experienced side affects like me. I guess my body is not used to it
@@justlondeya4094 how many did you both take?
@@sadethemuse I took 1 pill
@@justlondeya4094 sea-salt or salt with minerals like celtic, pink h., dead sea etc. any really ..but with minerals. Fresh beets?(betaine)
Use potassium if your bp might go up, and selenium but seleniums optional the potassium will do it alone.
@@justlondeya4094Hi
I got joint pain after using betain HCl.😮
Is it safe to take multi vit/mineral complex together with betaine hcl if I'm deficient in vitamin and trace minerals?
Dr. DiNezza, even a single capsule of Betain Hcl gives me terrible nausea and sometimes i vomit. I have acid reflux but tested negative for sibo, h pylori etc. Do you know why betain hcl would cause nausea?
Too much stomach acid can cause nausea and a classic sign of too much is burning sensation. Wherever you feel the burn is where the tissue is irritated or where an ulcer has already formed
Has anyone noticed new back or neck pain taking this?
I started taking digestive enzyme that has betaine HCL and been having this chest pain that radiates in my back , neck and arm. I’m starting to think this is the cause.
I have IMO and I really don't know why I feel better when I take Betaine because it makes me fart all the gas and bloating I have...
Haha, Farting is normal - we all do it🤫
@@jonskitch8082 yes Jon but I was struggling wit that 🥲 its nice to fart and I couldn't
