I have used this for over 40 years to add acid to my stomach to digest protein which I use a lot of and getting stronger. I learned a long time ago that over the age of 40 you start making less acid in your stomach to break down your food and that's why you have a lot of digestive issues which I no longer have. I was born premature in my esophagus wasn't fully formed when I was born and I only weighed 13 pounds when I was a year old because I couldn't keep anything down. Therefore I always had what I referred to as a delicate gastrointestinal issue. This nutrient and digestive enzymes have really made a difference for me. I am now 80 years old and I'm in greath health.

500 MG capsules... If it were me I would start with one before my meal. And then afterI 3 days you could do 2 before your meal. And you can go up to 3 or 4 if you need to but that wouldn't be forever. You listen to your body and and if you're feeling too sharp in your tummy you know to cut back. I've been doing this for so long that my body is very sensitive to it so I generally don't need more than one. The brand I use is from Natural Factors... The name of it is Betaine Hydrochloride with fenugreek,, 180 vegetarian capsules. I hope this helps.

Non acidic beverages will dilute the stomach acid.

@maggotmeatballz2692

5 жыл бұрын

I reckon that's exactly why. Stomach acid is not only for the digestion in the stomach but also for the digestion which continues in the begining of the small intestine, if the stomach is bypassed then... that'd cause a lot of trouble, like SIBO.

I have a great and simple keto recipe fix. I get really tired of salads so I take organic chicken broth, boil it, salt it as necessary, then throw enough spinach in there to get my daily fix after turning off the heat. The spinach will cook in the heated broth. I put it in a big soup bowl, and squirt a little Siracha and squeeze a slice of lime and it is tasty, satisfying and I get my veggies in without having to digest raw greens all the time.

Started this last week, I've been on omeprazole for far to long (over 5 years) I came across this channel by mistake. And once I heard about betaine hcl I done some research and was shocked as to why my doctor never told me about this. I originally had h pylori so my stomach acid was already low, I was put on antacids for heartburn and the condition got worse over time as I wasn't digesting food properly. 5 years with severe heartburn issues and I've started with these each meal time and it is starting to work. I came off omoperzol cold turkey and the acid reflux has been really bad the first few days but is definitely getting better. Cheers doc !

@@adgroundwork i read this online for folks that take ppi and want to get their stomach acid back up. Begin by taking your regular dose of OTC PPI medication every other day for 1-2 weeks as your symptom level allows. If symptoms exacerbate beyond a tolerable level, try taking a half dose daily for a few days, then wean back to a reduced dose every other day. Follow dietary guidelines as given, particularly avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar, alcohol, caffeine, excessive amounts of raw veggies, capsaicin and other hot pepper byproducts, and tannins in black teas. • While weaning, use stomach healing nutrients daily as recommended by your Nutritional Therapy Practitioner or Nutritional Therapy Consultant, for example: Vitamin A, cabbage juice or Vitamin U, Vitamin D, 100% aloe vera juice, bone broth, chlorophyll, deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), L Glutamine, Jerusalem artichoke, milk thistle, probiotics, slippery elm, or marshmallow root. In addition, 1-2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar in 4 ounces of room temperature water at the beginning of each meal is recommended to promote gastric enzyme activity. • On the “off” days from taking OTC PPI medication, take a hydrochloric acid (HCl)/enzyme supplement (1-3 tablets) with each meal, as well as the stomach-healing nutrients. If intolerable acid reflux occurs, eat a few more bites of a protein food, or drink a small amount of baking soda in water (one teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in 4 ounces room temperature water), or plain seltzer water, to calm your stomach.

But that's only 500-750mg a day, so is he saying you may have to take 5 times this? Or even 5 before a meal which would be 1,250mg? I can imagine his general digestive aid is aimed at anyone who sometimes has bad digestion, but from those suffering with it most days, that's when you'd need to bump up the desired dose.

As usual, a great right to the point video jamb packed with true very useful information. When you say HCL is not a long term aid, how long is not long? When you say it takes time for HCL to help produce more acid, are you referring to the time you take it before a meal, or the time it takes for the stomach to eventually produce the right amount of acid needed? How long approximately does it take for things to get better with HCL typically keeping in mind everyone is different?

For how many days do you recommend taking it in terms of when does it start to change the stomach/gut vs. When is it to long time to take it cause: 2. just after the second day of taking it my stool turned white basically and I wanted to ask if that’s a common sideeffect or should be look after quick?! 3. I started having extreme bloating after two days of taking the pills (1 with each big meal) shouldn’t that decrease? I might try it longer of course, but I’m confused with my bodily reactions to the pills 4. The gerd is gone at least! 🤗 If you could give some insights on this would be awesome!

Dr Berg Thank you for this video! I just have a question though… What happens when that acid goes to the intestine?

I’ve been having a lot of minor health issues, including low levels of iron despite supplements and an acid reflux that was more like congestion than burning. The GP just told me to keep taking iron and acid reducers. I decided to finally see a naturopath doctor who tested everything (we though I had hypothyroidism). Turns out I have low stomach acid and all the nutrient deficiencies (iron, b6/b12) etc that go with it. Did an iron IV and on a regimen of Betaine HCL and sublingual vits for a week now. Hoping my energy and immunity return! 🤞🏼 FYI high and low stomach acid have similar symptoms. Do the ‘bicarbonate soda burp test’ to see if you actually have low acid.

See if I can address multiple comments on this.Geographic tongue is patterns in tongue - so it looks like geographic map. Tongue reading often used in Eastern Meds. When my digestion improved, so did tongue (now smooth/normal). - With regard for long term usage, I would say it’s safe as long as it’s working or if you stop taking, it stops working. It’s pretty well understood that as we age, our ability to produce HCL declines. With the foods of today w/so much processed, I’m not sure how anyone can live w/out adding HCL and Enzymes. - The type? Solaray makes a good one w/Pepsin (important). These are capsules which I prefer to tablet/hard pill. There are a few others but really it’s ones preference. I’ve tried different brands and they are comparable but I do prefer the Solaray.

Ordinary salt - sodium chloride - will also help stomach acid production. It's the chloride ions that are needed to make the acid. So, if you use, say, potassium chloride or magnesium chloride as supplements, these will also help acid production. They're probably cheaper, too.

Video on what supplements to take, if you can not eat 7/10 cups of vegetables a day. And what is in your products and how much of those to take ?

Just bought Betaine HCL because I was having such a problem with burping after eating and in the morning. After only one dosage of three pills problem is gone. Such relief. Thank you!

Dr Berg Good Afternoon Is your gall bladder formula meant to be taken temporarily? I am 45 years of age

I'm wondering if we just take beetroot shakes would this be sufficient. For this case it would be for making adequate levels of acid in the stomach. What do you think?

I am wondering about calcium as you mentioned. Cane we not eat foods with calcium when we take this? Or are you just referring to calcium as in supplement form?

Anyway thank you Dr.Berg and wish you all the best...I have many questions...Do you have a group chat or sonething else wich is i can ask

Hello Dr.Eric :) i was wondering for how long can i take this product? You mentioned it's not a long term thing so i was curious as to how long would you recommend taking this and if it is taken before a meal, how long should i wait before i start eating after i took it?.-Thank you!

You take it half way through a meal. Never without having food in your stomach. You take it until even one tablet gives you a warm feeling in the stomach . Meaning you reached optimal acid level in your stomach and you no longer need to supplement it.

@@paulgillard5094That hot feeling is apparently not a reliable/good signal. Some people could take a bottle of HCL and never feel anything. Working up to 2,8gr of HCL/meal, maintaining that for a while, fixing food/underlying issues and then slowly reducing HCL and checking for symptoms appears to be the recommended way.

What dose should I start with? I have 325mg with Pepsin

Dr. Berg are ph sticks reliable?

Hi Dr. Thank you for the video. I am also planing to get HCL. I do have both erosive gastritis and SIBO, would it work?

What will be the condition of stools, when one having high stomach acid/ low stomach acid?

Very interesting! Would you do a video on NAC, N-acetyl cysteine?

Doc, can you specify how much BHcl needed to fix this ‘unclosed valve’ condition? I’m not sure how many milligrams are in “5-6 tablets” because every brand contains varied dosage. Please let me know Doc thankyou🙏🏻

Would like to know that too. How much is needed for that problem.

Thank you for this video ! It helps me a lot realizing I do not have enough acidity in my body. Question: is it ok to take HCL + Pepsin tablet on an empty stomach and while fasting? I notice in the morning I can have this burning pain behind my xiphoid bone/diaphragm, but when I take the HCL the pain magically goes away!
