But, how do you know if you'll benefit from this? Do YOU have low stomach acid? Check out this video for my super straightforward explanation of how to do the betaine HCl challenge/test at home. I hope you find these instructions helpful!

You’re amazing at explaining things thank you!!
It clarified things. You shure have good production value!
4 pills of betaine HCl hurt. That's a great explanation! Thank you.
This info needs to be shouted from roof tops.
Great video. Thank you.
Fantastic video Dr DiNezza! I was prescribed pantoprazole for many months for Gerd. I only heard about Betaine HCL through various TH-cam channels. I use Betaine HCL every meal and it has made all the difference in symptom reduction. Keep up the great work
How many do you take with each meal?
@@Jackieb1989 I started with 2 each meal. Now I take 1 pill at lunch
Great video. Super helpful :)
How does one know when the gastritis has improved enough?
@3:37 I think you meant to say baking soda instead of baking powder.
I have the brand" now" super enzymes took one with my meal and felt a difference
I'm literally getting my Betaine HCL delivered tomorrow. Such perfect timing for me to find this video!!
i literally started taking one each meal yesterday. Good luck with your challenge. I feel better today so will be taking three at a time tomorrow.
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT I literally started taking them the moment I got them, and I already see promising results. Hope you get amazing results! It's a good sign that it's already helping.
@@caramelcookie1765 Hi! What results have you got? Are you still taking HCl?
@@Wadenta Yes, I love betaine hcl. I've always gotten instant results with them. I did have to stop taking them for a week due to a health situation with food allergies. I just got back on the betaine HCL, and the results are as good as before. Decreased bloating, food moves faster, and more productive bowel movements.
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULTwhat is the mg on your bottle. Thanks
Vitamin b3 normale dosis and choline salt and hcl wil help if you have extreem low stomach acid
Any word on when your vid about top prokinetic options is coming out?
What if you start out with Apple Cider Vinegar? Like most of us, I stumbled on what to do, based on reading info on the Internet. Was on PPIs for 15 months and finally went off cold turkey becasue nurse practitioner (could never see my GI once I had the endoscopy) kept recommending that I continue. Been off for 7 weeks and my body has gone through several changes as it adjusts. Also on low FODMAP diet with the goal to reintroduce. Have lost 25 lbs, don't smoke, drink, wear loose clothing, sleep with head elevated and I avoid trigger foods. Started out with 1 tablespoon of ACV/8 oz water with meals with protein, works OK. Had 3 good days where I could eat without. Then, day 4, I felt full, queasy and uncomfortable the moment I woke up and felt that way all day until I returned to ACV. Only this time, the dosage seemed too strong. Now, using 2 teaspoons of ACV with meals. Is this an indication that my stomach acid is returning to normal?
Yer awesome!!!
Do you recommend its prolonged use over time for patients with atrophic gastritis?
I took this test many years ago and got up to 11 capsules before having a warm feeling in my stomach.
How do you feel about the Heidelberg stomach acid test. It was $400 back then so I passed even though it my have been handy to show my doctor her lack of knowledge regarding low stomach acid is real.
Holy Cow. Did I hear you correctly at about 3:35 where you said we should take tums or BAKING POWDER to neutralize the effects of any excess betaine HCl in our experiment to determine correct dosage? Please tell us you meant to say baking SODA.
Anyone know if betaine HCL is safe for Hydrogen sulfide SIBO?
If HCL part in Betaine is the important one, why we can't have same effect using for example Thiamine HCL or other HCL forum supplements?
eciN!
Can you take it with any kind of meal or only protein meals?
I am a bit confused. Do I need to take it in every meal during the test? I have started today; I had one capsule today of food high in proteins, and I didn't notice any difference; my burping is still here. My main problem is with high protein and high fiber food. After eating food, in 30 min I feel hunger pain as if I have not eaten any food at all. I also have a problem with passing gas a lot.
Maybe I missed it somewhere but how much HCL per capsule are we talking about? Great video by the way. Keep it up!
Probably about 500mg
I read you need to take bile salts with hcl to protect the duodenum, is this true?
What about bile supplements?
How much mg for each capsule? Because i found some that has 200mg, 250mg and a massive 645mg. This is important to know.
Thanks for this great video! What if you take betaine HCl and you have cholestasis and therefore not enough bile? Could it be possible that it leads to too acid stool?
How do you know for u have acid stool?
@@LB-sw2km I felt it when it went out. Also, I could smell it.
@@jennybadl7840 is your stool like yellow bile ? Did it smell like a burnt smell ?
@@LB-sw2km Non, it was brown and had an acid smell.
Terima kasih atas informasinya. Sangat membantu.
Saya mau bertanya, apakah betaine HCL nya ini yang tunggal atau yang mengandung Pepsin setiap kapsulnya?
What does it mean if u take 1 and it makes u get cramps
I started taking these yesterday and took up to 6 pills but no change. Can we consult you online?
Do I stop taking my ppi in order to try the hcl protocol?
Question: I’ve heard that you need to make sure you’re taking the HCL with at least 20 g of protein. Is that not something you recommend? Also, I’ve taken up to 8 caps at a time and NEVER felt anything - no burning - nothing. I did think my reflux was getting worse however. Any advice?
Same here. How's it going now?
Did u ever figure it out
@@3260ELEMENTi’m like that too. how r u now? did u increase the dose?
You say capsules but how many mg and pepsin or no?
Thank you for the information. very useful. I want to ask, because betaine hcl supplements are expensive, can betaine hcl for livestock also be used for humans? by making it into a capsule shape?
Should we take Pepsin + Betaine HCL or just Betaine HCL?
I read that you shouldn’t take betain hcl if you take nsaids or ibuprofen currently. Makes sense. Too much acid. I bought some betain recently but am concerned about how much and when. I’m trying out lemon juice and acv now. I have had gut pain for awhile and am not keen on sending it the other way with supplements that I’m not completely familiar with. The dosage is sketchy and sounds like a personal experiment. I’ll keep researching until it all comes together. But, I already feel the benefits of adding acids to my gut.
Me to
If the reason for my acid reflux is because I don't produce enough stomach acid, then how does taking Prilosec, which is supposed to reduce it even more, help with my symptoms, and if I need more stomach acid, then why does it hurt me when I stop taking something that reduced my stomach acid? This makes no sense to me.
Do u know what that would cost?
How about one capsule 💊 per day with big meal.
What is HCI? I’ve heard of HCL, but HCI?
I keep watching videos about this topic for long time, this one is the best so far. Thanks for creating a detailed explanation about it.
Thank you for your video! I have a lot of trouble digesting and absorbing food, so had tried Betaine HCl. Oftentimes with even just one tablet I experience a burning sensation in only the esophagus, but it does seem to help with digestion. Does anyone else get a lower GI benefit while worsening the upper GI, and do we know what this might mean? The burning often continues for days, even after trying to neutralize with baking soda.
It flares gastritis so its a hard battle. You need more nutrients to heal the gut but it’s hard to get nutrients without acidity, but when you add acidity it hurts the gut even more.
Yes I tried on pill and felt chest burning but nothing in stomach. Have you tried anything that worked?
@@Miguel.Garciau take before or after meal?
Same here. But I have gastritis. If I don't take I have bloat n reflux whole day long.
@@geraltofrivia4651what should we do if we have gastritis but also severe indigestion? If I don't take betaine, I have horrible reflux and food stoned in my stomach. But if I take, I worry my gastritis worsen
Hi, It has been almost three months since I took Rifaximin and it gave me insomnia. I still can't fall asleep and have racing thoughts, my intestines "moving" when I get up I immediately have a BM and lose stool. Before I only got insomnia if I took a pro/prebiotic. I don't eat anything processed, no gluten, raw foods, no dairy, only fresh foods. What can be wrong? Why do I still have this issue? Thank you for any kind of advice.
My guess is that the antibiotic cleared up space that candida may have taken up.
What is the symptom you have to look out for if HCL pills WONT work for you? Is it stomach pain, stomach burning, or upper esophogeous pain, chest pain, back pain? What exactly should I look for if it didn’t work?
Is it because you have gastritis?
Very good but I have a question. At what part of the meal do you take the pills ? Do you take them all at once or spread them out though out the meal? And what strength dose do you recommend? I guess that is 3 questions, I’m trying to get my monies worth here. Thank you for your answers.
Take them all in the middle of the meal
Thank you. Do you ever see low stomach acid in teens or early 20s?
H pylori messes with stomach acidity and is common
Please, Anyone, Has anyone ever gotten die off , herx reaction and tons of biofilm out after starting a prokinetic? (gut motility enzymedica)
Hi! I just ordered those did they help you? Did you take them on an empty stomach? Do you have methane sibo?
@@carmelcrave they gave me gallstones and right rib cage pain, THen I started Bilex Ox bile and that really helpes. Going for a HIDA scan in about 2 hours and get my galbladder and liver checked for gallstones and flow. If you have fatty floating stool, THEN BILE SUPPLEMENTS ARE MUST.
hi doctor, I have been taking betaine hcl every day I don't cough because of stomach acid, but I haven't lost the habit of waking up every morning because my breath sounds like a sound in my throat and waking up coughing coughing. I've slept using a 3 high pillow but it's still the same. how do you get a good night's sleep without stomach acid anymore?
Increase the does like she Said till you start to see changes. Also it your last meal 3- 4 hours before bed
Hello doctor and thank you for the useful information!
I have one question, when you say 1 capsule how many MG do you mean, in My country a typical capsule is 325, but I saw on the internet that in other countries it's 600 or 650mg per capsule.
It would be great to clarify that!
Thanks in advance!
Hi, if you think about it, it really does not matter that much. The challenge is to find what works for you. Of course the smaller amount per capsule allows for a "tighter" margin. You could do the challenge by taking two and then four and then six and so on - but again, the smaller the step increase the closer you can get to what exactly your body needs. So in conclusion, if you have the choice then buy the 300mg capsules, but if you find your ideal dose is four capsules you could then buy the 600mg capsules and only take two of them instead of four 300mg.
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT thanks for replying and I get your point!
I'm currently using 7 capsules which I was afraid was too much and I was worried Tha it wound not do the trick for me.
But if the cupsules everyone is referring to are 600-650mg then I gonna need higher dose.
It is really helping though!
@@stathispanagiotopoulos7145 Here in the UK i purchased capsules with 650mg each, and they recommend starting with 2 capsules.
@@stathispanagiotopoulos7145 I think i get your point now, you wanted to know if she is suggesting you should stop at about 3000mg or 6000mg?
@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT exactly
I am only 2 years from finally getting on top of my Gastritis.
I tested low for H. Acid and prior to Gastritis I was taking Betaine/Pepsin with meals.
But I had to stop during Gastritis bc it was making my stomach pain even worse.
I have had lower bowel IBS in past and now I have SIBO
and my stomach still flares and still have to watch acidic foods & condiments, and supplements.
How can I take HCl ?
or ACV ?
or is it just not possible ?
if not how can I increase absorption ?
bc I am low in Minerals, B12, etc etc
As far as increasing absorption goes, I think for the time being you would be better off just taking more of the vitmains. If you are B12 deficient you should definitely continue to take that. What was your b12 level on your last blood test? B12 deficiency can be serious if not addressed. Also, in this video she explains pretty clearly about how to take HCI.
First reparing the gi mucosis with Zn l-carnosine, aloe vera Juice, cabbage juice and adding vitamine B1
Try taking Ginger and Artichoke, theres a product out there called ProDigest
You can take Jarrow B12 lozenges that bypasses the stomach and this will increase your B12 levels. I have done the same and it increased my B12 levels.
@@lotsoftorque3632mine was 1250 and I was astonished it was so high? Does that mean I’m not absorbing my b vitamin or am absorbing too much of it?
For some reason it doesn’t burn when I take them before a meal. But it burns when I take the same amount immediately after a meal. Is this because the acid is sitting on top of food and is closer to my esophageal sphincter? Or is it because there was some time for my stomach to produce its own acid (triggered by eating food) and I just added more acid to that?
@@Ravenswhisper I believe you’re supposed to wait 2 hours to give the HCL time to work? As the bile salts will reduce the stomach acidity.
Supposed to take it during the meal. Just to prevent it from getting stuck in the esophagus. Use food to push it into the gut.
Doctor, does betain hcl stimulate stomach acid production or should it be taken for life?
she explained that, after 2 to 3 months if you're treating the root cause, you'll stop needing it and your body will signalise that for you.
Hi Dr. Dineeza, 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?
How's it going did you take it all in the middle of each meal?
I’m like that too. How are u now? Did you increase the dose?
I got up to 11 capsules before feeling warmth in my stomach.
I thought hcl is supposed to up you stomach acid in time not a crutch you have to keep taking.
I want to do this !
But I get pills stuck in my throat. Having swallowing issues. Sadly I think I do ! And I think it’s causing my swallowing issue. But I can’t swallow the pill because I’m scared it will get stuck in my throat. Can I open the pill and put it in water ? And try the rest this way?
Have the same problem since childhood.
I always eat little food.. avocado.. banana.. what u have and coat the capsule with good and bring it down. Otherwise i can't have pills.
P.s. don't open HCL pills.
I couldn't use it. My urethra and pee hole was.on fire! I only used 1/4 of a capsules of bentain hcl.😢
@@Ravenswhisper same happened with me my whole body started paining after taking HCl.better consult Doctor every body is different
baking soda!!!
Hi
I tried betain HCL with pepsin but after taking capsule i got joint pain
So i stopped.
Ple guide what to do now
Which part of your joint is pain?
Since betaine HCl is a derivative of choline, will taking choline help with stomach acid as well?
hummm interesting didn't know that about choline
half a Tums? Why not just have the one whole Tums?
I can take 14 capsules with every meal and i still don't get heart burn. What does this mean?
I'm afraid to take more than 14 because that's alot of hcl.
Same
There's a video on TH-cam by a carnivore advocate who said he had to take 42 before he experienced the symptoms, and gradually tapered down from 42 down to 0.
I take 16 still feel the same don’t notice nothing better I’ve been taking 16 for like a year with every meal don’t feel any better still bloated
She explains that in this video. Watch it till the end.
@@skatemore33 thanks Ethan
I can take 15 and feel nothing
Can i take It without capsule?
Nooo. You'll burn your throat
So, you deleted the video exposing the GI MAP. What happened?
they threatened her with a lawsuit so she had to delete it
@@emmarose953 wow, incredible.
Just shows how much of a scam they really are
post cranial what? (13:22)
Post prandial fullness not cranial
Your so nasaly do you have a cold or have sinus issues. Sound so congested
I took a whole jar of hcl 120 capsules for 1 meal and I didn’t feel any better
prob need 240 lol
😂
Don’t play games with your digestive system. If your having issues have it checked Get in to see your GP and he can set up to have upper endoscopy. This is how you find out what is going on. These types of videos will only further complicate your issue
Hi you r right I tried betain HCl and got terrible joint pain😮
A lot of doctors suck and many people are forced to be their own doctor
That should be the right answer but the medical system is treating symptoms not causes. It’s all fun and games until you loose your gallbladder after undergoing horrendous treatments, drugs and surgeries. Good for the economy “, doctors, surgeons and pharmaceutical companies bottom line but not so much for the average Joe’s health. You have to be your own advocate sometimes.
Very true ...after taking HCl I got joint pain which is still on.pleade consult GP before taking it.please
Yeah sure. If “normal” doctors would help people, these videos wouldnt exist. But they dont
Have I missed a time where she says how big one capsule is? Because I saw supplements containing from 30mg to 1200mg in "one capsule".
This lady always stretches a point. Lacks the ability to organise and synthesize ..
