Hi everyone talks about low stomach acid
What if the person has chronic gastritis, and can’t put acid on their stomach?
What’s the solution?
I would like to hear what can we do for them
Thank you
Doc, I was diagnosed with Gerd around 2018. They mentioned my valve not closing fully but never mentioned the concept of it being because of too low stomach acid. I did the burp test and didn't burp until after 14 minutes! I've been on Pantoprazole since 2018 and want off desperately. Can't get more than 2 days off it until the acid bothers me, especially during sleep. I tried quitting my PPI cold turkey last Monday, and instead started with an ACV with water, lemon and touch of honey drink. Did that for 2 days and started feeling the reflux by 2nd day/night. Chickened out and took half a Pantoprazole before bed and gave up on the ACV for now. *** Need to figure out how slowly I should taper off the pantoprazole, and how many ACV drinks I should have daily. *** Also, I take 81mg daily of aspirin because of a cardiac arrest in 2020. Doc mentioned that will upset my stomach more. So do I take more ACV because of that?
Thanks!!
@@ppylihave you found any solution?
Japanese say :Drink your food and chew your drink. Basically this means chew your food until its really smooth so you "drink" it
Thanks God. There are few good doctor (like you) who knows what they are doing. I don't know Why it's so hard for other doctor's to be like you.

The more education, the harder it is to overcome. It takes a lot of education to get a medical license, physicians are literally the walking dead.
@ellienboots A good patient is someone who lives a long, chronically ill life, goes to see a physician for everything and takes every prescription.
I had the best doctor growing up. She made me feel so comfortable and I'd look forward to our visits. It wasn't until she retired I understood her checking my prostate-ejaculation capabilities was not standard practice.. anywhere.
The moral of the story is, have faith in your medical professionals and dont judge/deem them as good or bad at their profession. I went along for the ride and loved every moment of it. Any day before that fateful day at age 17, I would have told you Doctor is a fantastic doctor. Now I realize she was a bit of a creep.
You OP? You don't know what you're talking about as far as who is a "good" doctor. You're obviously very easily persuaded and lack the ability to understand people in the video world are good at appearing enjoyable to be around, due to the nature of scene by scene video editing.
With that said.. you're kind of a liability to your own self. Please direct message me and we'll see what can be done to increase your quality of life.
You're welcome.
They are robots from a government controlled health system.
I’ve never heard anyone explain the first concepts of acid production so well. It’s very beneficial to people who have eating disorders. Thanks.
You are only the second person I’ve heard talk about the importances of chewing your food. Barbara O Neill says to chew it until liquid. Thank you for all your helpful advice
Great advice. Also, not drinking coffee on an empty stomach. I’ve just started apple cider vinegar before my dinner, sometimes. I got LPR Gerd by intermittent fasting and drinking coffee during my fast. My doctors all recommended nothing but pills, til I saw a Naturopath. She asked me questions and determined that I was eating very quickly, and fasting and drinking coffee together and made me aware of my triggers. One must be one’s own advocate for one’s health. I’m almost 77 and on no meds. This seems to be unusual instead of the norm. I am hoping our GP Doctors, become preventative health care providers, instead of just writing another prescription. Thank you. Linda
I’ve just started apple cider vinegar after I realised my food wasn’t being properly digested recently. My waste has improved massively. Cider vinegar is also much cheaper and accessible than pills
I eat way too fast, don't chew enough. Drank water during eating
@@zzzi222does it work and stop acid reflux ?
Whats wrong with coffee? Its actually stimulating gastric acid secretion
@@solosquad3155 I’m not sure. I had the opposite problem of having low acid levels
Such an exceptional video... truly, S rank advice.
Wow, the things you have to unlearn growing up I was told to eat more quickly instead of actually enjoying the meal. Thank you
Thank you for a very informative and supportive video.
You (& this material) are great!!! 🎉
I find adding spices like ginger, tumeric, cloves and other spices really helps. There's also lemon, avc and other vinegars that help too.
Stomach acid is hydro-CHLORIC, you need Chloride to produce it. Sodium Chloride, aka, table salt. Eat more of it.
All that stuff aggregates my histamine intolerance which is largely caused by my sibo . Fml
@@carolinelaronda4523 tried the mcdougall diet?
Yeah same here, but you can still use same herbs and spices that do not trigger histamine, or at least less @@carolinelaronda4523
I love how you tell it like it is!
Great info. Thanks.
I chew each bite 50 times , yes you read this correct. I try to make a point and be slowwwwww.
After I take DGL Ultra and Slippery Elm for 3 weeks, and see how that works, my next step is to
take Zinc Carnosine for several weeks or a month ( give or take ) to see how that works out .
Every parts of our body work because of nutrients. Even stomach needs nutrients to work properly, so the first thing is to get nutrients but i understand that in some diseases, the absorbtion of nutrients is compromise. For example, like you say, we need zinc, so we start to eats more red meat and seafood but if your stomach doesn't produce enough acid for example because of gut dysbiosis or helicobacter, the absorbtion of zinc is very low. Our body is too much complex, is so easy to damage it, but luckily you can even heal it but healing requires more times than damaging.
P. S.: thank you for the advices.
Celery juice is amazing for stomach acid. Drink it on empty stomach in morning
Glad I found you!I have been lost on knowing what to do about my SIBO. So confusing on what to eat and what not to eat. I like your approach of still eating certain foods and focusing on healing and not avoiding everything. So much easier
How did you find out you have SIBO?
@@CynthiaAva gastroenterologists test with a breathe test. There's three types of sibo (and also sifo), you want to find a gastro that does the trio test because it will test for all 3.
How much for the tests?
These were probably the best recommendations I heard related to my digestive problems. All the best, thanks!
I LOVE this! Thank you! I have developed low stomach acid and my gut plagues me. I look forward to watching your videos!
Did a Dr confirm this? I believe I do as well but not sure how to confirm it
These are excellent reminders. The one thing that is missing is exercise.
YOU ARE THE BEST 👊💯
Love this video
Awesome stuff. Thank you!
Your the best.. and very Wise and down the Earth..🌈😊💯💚
🥰
LOVING your content!
I'm a moldie with MCAS, a history of SIBO, low stomach acid, etc. My dog was just diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency (based on symptoms). I asked my vet if low stomach acid could be part of the problem and he said no low stomach acid doesn't happen, but I know from my experience that it does in ppl and my western doctors don't believe it but it's a huge part of what CURED my food intolerances.
Based on the info in this video, I can do tricks for treats with my dog before giving him meals to trigger the engagement of the brain /GI system -so thanks for those ideas!
My question is, do you know of a holistic vet resource where I can learn about dosing a dog for low stomach acid? I found one site that said it's the common cause of GI problems in dogs (as in ppl) that's usually overlooked but it didn't say how to dose treatment.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight!
How you increased your stomach acid? Got the same problem😢
Give your baby homemade bone broth ❤
Dogs Naturally Magazine and Dr. Karen Becker ❤
You are fantastic!!!!
fabulous info.thank you!!! simplicity/common sense..put do not know!!!
Wow just wow… spoon feeding explanation❤
Oh, I get it! So you're saying when I was a cable TV contractor 30 years ago driving to the next job 10 minutes away, I shouldn't have been trying to drive a manual transmission while looking at a map placed on the steering wheel and trying to scarf up 6 McDonald's cheeseburgers and a Gatorade on the way over? You'll be happy to know I've learned my lesson.
Much appreciated thank you ❤
Nice info thank you
Great video Thank you I'm a holistic nutrtionist :)
Rock on with your bad self! Virtual 5!
Def slowing down, being present , and chewing. does it not have the effect of producing more saliva, which in turn helps digestion? You mention a walk BEFORE a meal; I remember when I was young parents would always go for a walk AFTER; how do these relate?
histamine - point that you made was game changer for me personally, Thanks for such information!!
I have hives urticaria and acidreflux gerd what should i do plz help
What can you do to correct a histamine problem?
@@Dana-cz1yu What I'm going to do is not eat for like 4 or 5 hours before a meal and only eat 2 meals a day. I need to feel the hunger pretty strong before I eat and chew my food.
Mega!!! Thank you
Amazing.. I started walking 30 mins before my meal barefoot on grass just as my daily excerise.. I found that I was strangely relaxed and calm and had no issues digesting food and no reflux while sleeping.. Little did I know that walking did the trick.. I just found that out now 2 days later from your video. I guess that's proof enough that this theory does work as I had no prior knowledge and it couldnt be a placebo effect 😅
Thanks doc for your informative and different take on videos as compared to the tradional strict protocol doctors out there..
In one of your other vids you said sometimes if we just let down our hair and ate what we wanted in moderation you wouldn't have all those symptoms of sibo manifest like they do.. Guess what I went on holiday and did just that.. I was even able to to eat gluten with no issue after being of it for 2 years prior..
Going barefoot is key to grounding and balancing the electrical charge of the body.
@@misspeach3755 Totally agree
I eat WAY too fast. It is a terrible habit that I need to change. I have to slow down and appreciate my food. I have also developed chronic allergies which may indicate a connection with my gut.Thanks for this info
I get a lot of flatulence over the last few years, I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done recently but nothing was found other than the the Doctor putting me on peploc to help my acid reflux, my flatulence is down to a week digestive system? I do tend to eat fast. Nothing was mentioned as to whether I had too much or not enough stomach acid.
I'd love to see a video on modulating histamine, that would be invaluable!
Me too!
Me too!
👁👁 And me!
What do you suggest when these things don’t work for improving the experience? I’m autistic and I often don’t get joy from smell of foods. I’m often eating because I can sense I’m hungry and I should, but nothing really tastes great. The more I chew, the less I enjoy food and less I want to continue. I’ve tried chewing more (and not going overboard!), and about five bites in I’m tired, and no longer want to eat. I’ve tried mindful eating, and again, five bites in … I’m bored and not hungry and the food seems unappetizing. I’ve been trying these techniques off and on my whole life and haven’t had much success. So I’m wondering if there’s some different avenues I can go that may be beneficial?
Interesting approach, I'm taking Zinc Carnosine alternating with Betaine.
@gutmicrobiomequeen do you believe at all in GI maps? Do you think supplementing anxiety medicine can help a IBS/SIBO scenario situation when a person is in constant fight or flight mode? Thanks!
What form of Zinc do you suggest?
Hi! I'm really glad I came across this video and your whole channel - it's so informative! If one has an inflamed gut, they should avoid Betaine HCL, right? I'm on an Elemental Diet and taking DGL for temporary relief for the daily sore throat. Should I focus on healing the mucosal lining before the acid reflux?
Great question! You are correct, I do not recommend HCl supplementation if you have acute gastritis or an acute ulcer. You need to focus on healing the gut/stomach lining and the mucus lining first. I'm a big fan of demulcent herbs for this- particularly DLG (as you mentioned), slippery elm powder (made into a gel with water), and marshmallow root (made as a cold infusion).
I started taking DGL Ulta and Slippery Elm , remember its the first day , I noticed my stomach isn't inflamed ( it's not hot ) , I will take these 2 for 3 weeks to keep tracked of it .
Because I have several more supplements to take.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen. I'm sorry what is HCL and DGL or DLG? Thank You in advance for your response.
@@diose0078 hydrochloric acid, and licorice.
I love your teaching approach. It helps me relax and learn. As I learn, I find out what I need to do for me as an individual. How do I get into your group? Please be specific as I am new with the computer. Thank you..
How do I raise my histamine?
Naturally without drugs.
I don't know if i have low stomach acid, but i have GERD and have to be careful with acidic foods bc my LES is damaged. I can lay down and i start getting silent reflux...even w/ an angled bed and not eating close to bedtime. I also have dysphagia due to having a narrow esophagus, so where i normally break open capsules and chew tablets, i cant do that with the highly acidic betaine HCL supplements!
GREEN LEMONS ARE GOOD, befor i started taken lemons, i was only getting coming up from my stomach was air bubals & acid, hardly any food, i was told by my doctor i was making too much acid, now i fine out i need more acid. i think a lot of doctor don't nkow what their doing. colin uk.
Smell your food, Chew your food
HCl + Zinc
Rest while eating
Here, saved you 10 minutes
thanks
Super nice video,, i am surprised Apple cider vinegar is not spoken about,,,,
I am nearing the end (hopefully) of my gut healing, devouring fodmaps no problem and pooping good poops twice a day thanks to you and wonderful docs like you! My last hump is that I don't digest protein well and my naturopath wants me to do the HCL challenge for 6 months. She claims it will cure low stomach acid because my body will naturally produce more stomach acid producing cells once I am done with the challenge. Is that really what HCL does? I'm leaning towards following the instructions in this video instead...
Hello are you healed ?????
@@debbiec6216 My gut is healed and I never did the HCL challenge, too many pills! Just changed my diet and gave it more time
Wow how did you heal you gut ?
What food did u eat pls help
Pooping twice a day? What are you eating? Pooping that much can’t be good. Seems to indicate that your digestive system works way too fast or that you’re eating too much of something your body can’t digest.
Very useful
My stomach has been hurting pretty much every night for a few years. This video has made more sense than anything to date. Thank you. I suspect my stomach lining needs healing. Any tips?
Herbs like slippery elm, DGL licorice etc
good stuff ty
Dr dinezza can low stomach acid cause frothy/foaming urine ?
THANK YOU DOCTOR FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATIVE VIDEOS ❤ I WAS WONDERING IF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH MOTHER WILL HELP WITH LOW ACIDITY OR NOT ?
Yes, in my opinion it does. ACV has a PH of about 2.5 and HCL is about a PH of 1. It's not as acidic but if you have low stomach acid it helps. I am drinking ACV now to get off of PPI's which I have been on for 19yrs now. I'm starting to have symptoms of low calcium. I started with only ACV as it coats the LES valve helping to keep it closed. I have recently added betaine hcl pills slowly and so far it's working without much heartburn. Next I am going to start lowering my does of my PPI's.
this is the ultimate cure, or lemon water
"incredibly hard to do" (re chewing mindfully). This is extremely difficult for me. I've trained my reticular activating system to not only respond to my name ala the "cocktail party effect," but all divergent or creative intuitions. As such, I'm actively stimulating myself with some lecture or a tv episode while I'm eating, hoping to have a clever thought a deep reverie, and paying exactly zero attention to the delicious meal I just put an hour in to (makes no sense rationally, lol). I need to re-train to shift my attention to relevant gustatory/gastronomic events. It should be simple: "you spent 30$ on this meal; an hour of time, nudging towards your tastes; so bloody enjoy the thing eh!?"
Apparently you need Cl to produce stomach acid. Where do we get it from if you do not add salt to you food or consume food with preadded salt. And you do not drink tap chlorinated water? According to studies eliminating salt reduces stomach acid in half. I went WFPB SOS free low fat because of high blood pressure and after 18 months I managed to stop pills and BP went down to 105/70. But I have been struggling with heartburn all the time with rough periods of chest and throat pain. I did the baking soda test and never had any effect. I was never connecting lack of salt to low stomach acid.
Thank you!
Do you think Betaine HCL with pepsin plant based (NOW 648) can cause GI bleeding even on the low dose?
If your mucosal lining is weak, probably
Dr. DiNezza, a question: how to proceed if the stomach mucosa has both thin protective mucous due to previous insults and low acid output? A situation where betaine HCl quickly causes erosive complaints yet there is an obvious underlying clinical picture of low stomach acidity. Thank you for your time!
Regarding chewing, anyone have suggestions for soups and smoothies?
You can practice agni sara, the essence of fire in yoga. It wake up the gut, acide, digestive juices in order To digest with facility.
Please make a video for different food allergies 😢
👁👁 Wow, thanks‼️
We need a histamine overload vid
I wonder if they still would have needed the bipass surgery if they had done the 30 chews beforehand......
Diagnosed with GERD and Esophageal hernia 6 months ago. Started with PPI. Didn't have any effect. Last month a new gastroscopy, and now Barrets. Advice please.
how are you feeling ?????
Definitely get off any PPI’s, take 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Supplement With d3, k2, zinc. Kombucha is really great too. Inner filet aloe to heal your esophagus. My husband died of esophageal cancer back in 2017 and I wish I knew all these things then. Oh, and last but not least, if you have an attack and have heartburn, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 2 ounces of water will kill it in five minutes.
Can you talk about h pylori please how to cure or atleast control it. Thank you.
What minerals and vitamins we need for increase Hcl ??
Thanks
Zinc, potassium, vitamin B1
Great tips as always. But what if smo is APA positive which means they have antibodies that prevent stomach acid? Should I rely on betaine hcl and pepsin in that case?
How are you now? APA positive means autoimmune gastritis right ma'am? Could you please help me with the diet you are following?
@@mirudhu05 I’m better in terms of digestion. I take a supplement with digestive enzymes 15 minutes before meals and betaine hcl & pepsin right after my first bite. If you cant find digestive enzymes supplement you can also try drinking ginger shots. They work almost the same.
Nobody talks about hormones or hiatal hernia.
I have gastritis and i dont know what causing it. I have bloating, i dont know what to do.
How do you stimulate the vegus nerve?
Abdominal breathing, exhale with a humming sound.
thought it was 42 chews to allow saliva to start the digestive process
I have antral ulcer and i am suffering from low acid what should I do 😭 pls answer🙏
I cant understand the name of the root that you recomend besides de HCL, is it absentia? Can you spell it please? Thank you
Gentian Root
DR you need to visit an ENT. Either that or you have a cold and haven’t told us.
I have h pylori it is effecting my acid content. Acid tablets help but what gets rid of the h pylori. Ppi raises level and it creates a bacteria infection. Got a real answer?
Hi My Dr put me on antibiotics to get rid of it. That didn't stop relux unfortunately
So what is your real answer I'm suffering from H.Pylori
How do I know if I have low or high acid? Im in a lot of pain :(
plz can you handle my case bits by bits,my stomach needs help
Thank you for this share! 🙏 is having low stomach acid mean there is H pylori in the stomach? Thank you
Yes it’s possible
aruveda also tell chew ur food 32 times
Thank you Dr Omole on UA-cam, Sharing testimony on how you Cured my Herpes Disease is my greatest Joy in my Life....
When you pooping out food does it mean you have low stomach acid
Good question chax😊
Since 5 years I was suffering from acidity and I took alot of anta acid and ppi but now no stomach acid in my stomach got achlohydria I took ppi and antacid together for one year, now I have pain in my feet Soule muscles please tell me suggestion what to do now?
Oh, that is awful! I'm so sorry! To be clear, are you off of the PPI and antacid now? If not, that should be the first goal- to gradually wean off of both. This will need to be done with the help of a provider (either the original prescriber or an integrative medical professional) to avoid side effects and rebound reflux which can be quite severe if you're not careful. I think herbs that coat and soothe (licorice, marshmallow) would be a great addition here, too.
I have also low stomach acid .you are right now stomach acid.
Osama now you are fit .yours stomach acid problems solved now?
Hello mam
I have been suffering from gas problem since 1 year. I showed many doctors. I took medicine since 1 year. But the whole day huge gas produces in belly and comes out from asshole.
I have another problem. My hands go numb. So i take medicine. I took calcium medicines a lot. I ate lot of medicines in my life.
Why gas produces in belly. I feel vomiting whole day. My endoscopy report was antral erosions on stomach. I did not shit 3 days in Dec 2022. My poop does not come out. After 3 days i go to hospital to poop. I poop but gas problem created in my life. I am still suffering from it.
1. Has my stomach acid reduces due to take many medicines?
2. Has my digestive problem due to poop trap?
3. Has bacteria in stomach?
4. Has my stomach weak?
Tell me how can i stop gas permanently?
Be mindful of how you manage your breath as you're eating
IBS Fodmap diet I follow I take B1 100mg three times a day no more bathroom issues it wakes up the vegas nerve . means you are B1 deficient.....
Well this is no good to me, I have 4 kids many of them young and I’m on a time limit when it comes to getting food in :(
My stomach gets hot and warm for some reason and it usually happens when I’m empty. For some reason there is that element of hunger but with it my stomach starts warming up and quickly calms down, is it because of low stomach acid?
Does anyone feel the same?
Yess it's me too it's usually as i think due to low stomach acid bcoz body has to heat little more than usual to digest the food due to low stomach acid
Yep I have that....burning
Vitamin B3 also increases stomach acid
dilluted apple cider vinegar and lemon water cures this
I have gastritis and GERD so I have been on the dreaded PPI for about 5 months now. How would you recommend supplementing with HCL with having gastritis makes it hard? :(
That's a tough spot to be in Kyle. If you were my patient (acknowledging that I don't know anything about your health history or test results) I would hold off on acid supplementation until the mucus lining is rebuilt and your stomach lining is in better shape. A starting point might be anti-inflammatories like Sulforophane and green tea, or perhaps probiotics. It's hard to give specific results without knowing your history and test results, but hopefully that helps.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen thank you! That helps a lot!
@@gutmicrobiomequeen I started a new probiotic called Just Thrive last month and it has seemed to help a lot!
@@KyleVertoch Hooray!!! I'm so happy to hear that!
Hi Kyle. Did you also have low stomach acid?
Does low stomach acid cause low or no appetite?
Yes you will lose appetite because of low acid. One you increase your acid your appetite will increase dramatically
I am so lost. It started with chest pain and burping in September 2020. Cardiologist said my heart was fine after stress test and ultrasound. March 20212 ER visits and being told it’s probably reflux. I’m scared to take the meds bc they say it causes cancer. I have an Endo soon. My anxiety is through the roof and I’m in constant pain and no appetite. I just don’t know what to do. Labs are coming back good besides low Vit D and iron. Please help. My stomach feels raw. My chest hurts. All of this and I truly eat healthy. I do not understand.
If this was me, I would personally be very strict about only taking liquid or liposomal or powder supplements. Supplement with vitamin d3 and k2 liquid drops. Supplement with liquid iron with vitamin C. Do not take iron with any other vitamin or mineral other than vitamin c. Take liquid iron on an empty stomach with a fresh squeezed lemon. Start drinking raw organic apple cider vinegar twice a day, everyday. Add in digestive bitters if needed.
@@svantevida851 unfortunately no. I still struggle. Aloe Vera juice by Lily desert helps a lot
@@rhiannonshuey thank you. This sounds like good advice. Have you struggled with stomach issues?
I had acid reflux for the last couple of months. Started taking Betaine HCL before each meal, along with probiotics after each meal, and after 4 days it'd 95% cleared up. Give it a go if you're still havimg problems
@@Markhypnosis1 thanks will try!
Just found your video and really thought you had a lot of good advice and felt very challenged to try some things, but was turned off by the language you chose to use. I wanted to hear some professional advice but was surprised by the language as I am not used to that coming from any professionals I have seen. I would love to watch so I will give it a second chance and hope this was just a bad day for you. When my 4 year old granddaughter is here with me, and I choose to watch you at that time, I don't want her to pick up anything unappropriate. Thanks for listening.
Same. I don't appreciate it.
It's ok...
At 5:35 you mention a root to take with HCL, what is the name? (it's not clear/unfamiliar to me)
Ginseng root I think
Gentian root
“Your stomach has no teeth”
Heard that somewhere. Thought it was memorable.
