Would you please have Dr Berg review this video on stomach acid because it's incorrect information?

@HenriFaust

Why would more acid lead to less burping and not more? More acid means that more sodium bicarbonate will be neutralized to release CO2 gas. *Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → H2CO3(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → H20(l) + CO2(g) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)* *OR* *HCO3-(aq) + H+(aq) → H2CO3(aq) → H20(l) + CO2(g)* Is there some other component to stomach contents at play besides aqueous HCL? This is _basically_ the same as the classic baking soda and vinegar reaction.

Sharing these priceless notes from Dr Berg: The best tests for a stomach acid deficiency: 1. Riddler’s gastric acid reflux point test Press on your rib cage one inch below your breastbone and one inch to the left. If the area is tender, you may lack stomach acid. 2. The baking soda test Dissolve 1/4 tsp. of baking soda in eight ounces of water and drink it in the morning before eating. If you don’t have enough acid in your stomach, you may start burping after one to five minutes. 3. The betaine hydrochloride test Take one betaine hydrochloride supplement before eating, and add more with each meal. If you have low stomach acid, your symptoms will be relieved. Symptoms of low stomach acid (low hydrochloric acid): • Indigestion • Gas • Bloating • Acid reflux • GERD Another common problem people experience as they age is called atrophic gastritis. Symptoms of atrophic gastritis: • Mucosal atrophy • Low hydrochloric acid • Low B12 or folate • Low iron • Intolerance of red meat • Indigestion • Gas • Cognitive decline • Brittle nails • Restless legs • Thinning hair • Acid reflux • Muscle cramps or muscle twitches • Rosacea • Bad breath Common causes of atrophic gastritis: 1. H. pylori What to do: • Consume sulforaphane 2. Low hydrochloric acid What to do: • Take betaine hydrochloride • Take methylcobalamin and methylfolate In some cases, you may need to fix the inflammation in your gut before you increase your stomach acid. You can do this by consuming cabbage juice, wheatgrass juice powder with water, zinc, and probiotics. It’s also important to get on a Healthy Keto® diet. Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿

I agree. I have read several articles on this and my understanding is no burp within 3-5 mins (depending on the article you read) means low stomach acid. While a burp would within 3-5 mins would indicate adequate stomach acid. This makes sense when you think what happens when you add baking soda to an acid like vinegar. It releases co2 gas which in your stomach would cause a burp. But if you dont have enough acid in the reaction then not enough co2 to cause the burp.

I then started on a quest to try to figure out was wrong with me. I took nearly every stomach helpful pill. I finally started taking Betaine before meals. Supplementing ADEK, B12, and Iron and started a slow and steady climb back to health. I found that I cant really eat sugar or it seems to weaken my stomach acid.

You're right, they all say the opposite because that's what the medical universities teach them. I listened to my doctor for 10 years and had too many outbreaks before finding out the truth and experiencing it. Acid reflux is too much food, not enough acid, so the food comes back up the esophagus. The little flapper at the bottom of your esophagus only closes in a high acid environment. It's very rare to have too much acid with the standard American diet. Most including myself, it was indigestion from too little acid.

I agree with you because I always have fever when I overeat

I have a little theory i'm curious about and I cannot test but probably someone could from your audience, Dr Berg. Eating too much carbs doesnt require the body to produce much stomac acid so the brain shuts the production off or puts it to the minimal levels. In the regions where one has a protein and fat rich diet probably none even have ever heard about gerd or low stomac acid. Thanks as always for the great summarising video.

I am in that group of inflamed stomach folks (erosive gastrtis) so I have to heal up first before doing anything. Ugh. But it does explain why years ago I tried acv and got horrible pain from doing it. The video that inspired me to try it never warned me about making things worse by doing so. Oh it burned real bad. I was hurting for a long time , days to weeks. I cannot tolerate acidic foods much at all now. But I will bring this up with my dr. Thanks for this video. Erosive gastrtis is so painful. So few foods I can eat. I AM TRYING A LIQUID DIET NOW, TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS IN MOTILITY. People like myself found out too late to prevent our serious and painful conditions. Some of us have genetic diseases also that put us at higher risk of health issues in our lifetimes. My mom faced similar issues as I do now so it is genetic. I would say to folks to never take your good health for granted. Do what you can to care for your body. Thanks Dr. BERG for this video. Timely for me.

I'm into fermented foods and make about 6 or 7 different ones including kefir and sauerkraut, and they're great, too. It does seem that most of us are out of balance due to lack of proper nutrition and it creates a snowball effect of symptoms.

I noticed this as well. The bicarbonate of soda will neutralise acid, producing CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) and water. The CO2 gas is what causes you to burp. If you have LOW stomach acid then there is less of (or no) reaction and thus less (or no) gas produced. Therefore if you drink the bicarb and you do NOT burp within a few minutes, this indicates low stomach acid.

I would think re the burping it's the other way around. In a sufficiently acidic environment, bicarbonate (HCO3-) will dissociate to CO2 (gas - hence the burping) and H2O - water. If there is too little acid, the bicarbonate will not dissociate - no (or much less) burping.

Very glad to be of help.

I believe that there is a mistake in the explanation for the results for test with baking soda. If it takes longer than three to five minutes to burp, the theory goes, you don’t have enough stomach acid. In this video it is opposite!

I agree, I literally was watching the Serious Keto channel and heard the opposite, it's common sense baking soda and acid make fizzing reaction which will make (burping)...SMH you are correct Dr Eric Berg must have made a mistake her, I can't believe he hasn't taken this video down and corrected it, I've seen several videos of Dr Eric Berg contradicting his own information, I might just unsubscribe from this channel, I also purchased his advanced digestive support supplement and I got worse first of all but he said in his video to take 4 to 5 and keep increasing until getting acid reflux and backing down from that dosage, but his supplement says to take 2 and not exceed 2 daily.

Omg!!!! And here I am thinking I have too much stomach acid😮😢with all the pain, nausea, reflux, gas, etc just getting worse and worse😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🫢 I believe you have just saved my life, doc, I really do...I was at the end of my rope😫Thank you, God Bless and keep you❤🙏❤😇....cabbage juice...really????🫢🤢....ok....I will do my stinking best...literally, ugh😖

Hello there! Dr. Berg's Support Team

Wow thank you so much Dr 👨‍⚕️ Berg

This is the one I’ve been looking for: a home test to see if our stomachs are truly producing too much acid (as my gastroenterologist says) or are we producing not enough acid. Last Feb. / March I began having trouble swallowing, even water got stuck and it scared me enough to rush to the hospital. After many tests, CT scans, private clinics, acupuncture, live cell analysis etc, otolaryngology scopes up the nose and down the throat, and 3 more visits to emergency, all saying I was completely healthy and couldn’t find a problem. Finally we did an endoscopy revealing substantial narrowing , inflammation of the oesophagus and stomach lining. So 40mg daily of PPI Pantoprazole for 4 months then 20mg Pantoprazole 4 more months to ween myself off. Have stopped the PPI 3 weeks now replaced it with DGL Licorice (after doing my own research), chewing one tablet 20 minutes before each meal. I won’t lie, it’s been hard as stomach acid sometimes creeps back up and burns but overall I am feeling better and can eat, swallow more foods, in smaller bites. The hardest part a year ago was severe lack of nutrients and calories. Lost 95 pounds in a few months and was very weak. Now, the Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice helps the body heal naturally by releasing healthy mucous, lining the oesophagus and digestive tract. Watching Dr. Berg I learned a lot more about which foods help GERD and overall health. My routine daily usually goes like this: DGL. Variety of nuts and seeds, Dulse (sea grass), manuka honey, nutritional yeast, Quercetin, Vitamins C and D. Almond milk or water. DGL then lunch of 2 Omega3 eggs over Guacamole toast with micro greens, nutritional yeast, water. DGL. Probiotics. then supper of either a fish or meat, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, artichoke, micro greens. Water. multivitamin. I hope this helps anyone and thank you Dr. Berg for all the help. NB., more foods that help heal and soothe the gut: Ginger, cloves, cinnamon, chamomile tea, cantaloupe, cucumber, turmeric, DGL Liquorice, parsley, basil, coriander, celery. Of course, each individual will vary according to what you can tolerate.

Yes thank you for your input and if I might add on to what you said, aloe Vera gel is very good also for the stomach lining and healing the gut.

VERY important correction for anyone watching this!!! He has the burping portion backwards. If you have enough stomach acid, you will burp within those 5 minutes. And you are looking for a good size burp. Not just a small one here and there. It is the chemical reaction with the stomach acid that makes you burp. If you don't have enough,you will not have the reaction.

That burp is carbon dioxide gas being liberated as the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reacts with the hydrochloric acid (HCl), the products of the neutralization reaction are water (H2O), salt (NaCl), and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Correct, small burps are probably from swallowing air while drinking the solution.

Hi! Thanks for watching! Dr. Berg's Support Team

Dr. Berg.. U are a live savior..

After having read the comments below, I am amazed at how many of you feel this was a great video. Don't get me wrong, I like Dr. Berg, but he absolutely, totally got the sodium bicarbonate test WRONG. If you have low stomach acid, you will not burp right away. Always do some research after listening to any video online. For the record, the chemical reaction of sodium bicarbonate mixed with an acid is Chemistry 101.

I was told that if you burp within two minutes, means you do have enough acid, it’s like putting baking soda in vinegar, vinegar being the stomach acid

You are correct, NOT what the video states.

Am experiencing acid reflux now and tried the riddlers test and it escalated my symptoms. Dr. Berg you are God sent thank you....

When I had sleeve surgery as a matter of course they put everyone on omeprezole or some other ppi's for Gerd because it's so prevalent after that surgery. I started watching these videos saying to use acv for Gerd instead and I did it and it worked. Ppi's were never meant to be taken over a couple weeks because they mess up absorbsion of vitamins, nutrition. I'm not on any meds now. None. When I told my surgeon what I was doing I swear he almost did a happy dance right then and there and jumped up and gave me a hug because he KNOWS what the actual cause of Gerd is but trying to convince people to add acid doesn't work because they want a pill. I haven't had a ppi in months and I've lost 127lbs in 6 mos. Now how did I have such a rapid weight loss and not get gallstones or kidney stones while also adding muscle mass and not being hungry all the time? Well Dr. Berg has videos on that.

I don't understand the soda part, because when you mix it with vinegar it fizzes a great deal.

Thank you Dr. Berg. This is 100% an issue for me but I also continue to battle with H,Pylon as well. I’m afraid to add HCL as I don’t want to force the h pylon into the stomach lining. Wondering your thoughts on this.

Hi! I LOVE your videos I am so glad I discovered your channel! I wanted to thank you for all the info you give us. It’s life saving. I definitely have a severe case of low stomach acid and on top of that a mild hypothyroidism that doesn’t help much. I do have the Betaine, but how many capsules do you recommend before a meal ? Mine is 648 mg. Thank you very much!

Good work Dr Berg. I did get tested and it was H.pylori ... I was taking betaine hydrochloride which wasn't the best thing at the time since I didn't know I hadn that pesky h.pylori situation. Now the doctors got me on this medication that I at first didn't want to take for it but decided since it's only for 14ndays I said ok

Amazing. I think I have low acid, but every time I took HCL or Apple cider vinegar it hurt so I assumed too much acid. I think I now have to heal my gut first then go back to increasing my stomach acids. Thanks!!!
