Dr. DiNezza, your such a just a joy to listen to. I have a few questions please. First, know I have Barrett's disease and hope i can stop PPI's....so can I do this acid challenge while taking the PPI or should i stop them during the challenge period ? 2nd. .....What dose of HCI.. 500mg? Lastly........You mentioned zinc is very important, so does HCI come with zinc available or does one need to take a sperate zinc supplement, if so, what is the zinc dose and is it needed each time you dose the HCI?

I'm literally getting my Betaine HCL delivered tomorrow. Such perfect timing for me to find this video!!

Any word on when your vid about top prokinetic options is coming out?

Do you recommend its prolonged use over time for patients with atrophic gastritis?

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?

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.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but how much HCL per capsule are we talking about? Great video by the way. Keep it up!

What about bile supplements?

Terima kasih atas informasinya. Sangat membantu. Saya mau bertanya, apakah betaine HCL nya ini yang tunggal atau yang mengandung Pepsin setiap kapsulnya?

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.

I read you need to take bile salts with hcl to protect the duodenum, is this true?

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.

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!

@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT

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.

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?

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.

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.
