Betaine HCl Side Effects (Safe for Methane/IMO?)

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?

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.

    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 KZread. 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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 KZread 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!

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?

    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.

    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

  • @ritaevergreen7234
    @ritaevergreen7234 Жыл бұрын

    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.
