Holly Springs, NC
I had my gallbladder removed in 2018 and before that, I had a very regular digestive system. After surgery I developed IBS, diarrhea, amongst other symptoms. I just started taking hcl butaine and my digestive problems just disappeared like magic. From the first dose I was able to digest food, did not belched and my bowel movements became solid and regular. I learned about butaine while watching Dr Berg channel and thank Goodness I did.
Hello! Thank you for sharing! Did you have a doc over see this or did you do it yourself?
And I’m so glad for you that it resolved your stomach issues!! ❤
this legit describes my current situation. brick of food in stomach all day long.
One major unknown sign of low stomach acid is frequently getting sick, and throat and lung infections
Wht abt feeling depressed and fire poops and fire stomach?
@@westcijosh think that has to do with stomach acid being flushed out, fire stomach might be an ulcer or thin mucus lining around inside of the stomach
Also check your nails, if you have ridges and brittle nails, it means you have low acid and nutrition deficiency due to lack of stomach acid.
Halitosis too
good video. i think this sort of thing exists under the radar for many, many people.
I love your content, you have such a caring mindset with these topics 😊
Dr.Nicole...please make a video on thiamine deficiency and vagus nerve/sibo...something that EONutrition swears by.
Brilliant lecture! Taking PPI’s for many years killed my stomach acid.Now I am dealing with low,or maybe not at all stomach acid.
I can’t take Betaine Hcl,because I had stomach erosions. What helped and helps me is eating sauerkraut ,pickles ,but only home made,not from the store.Without added vinegar. Also,I take with every meal Digestive enzymes.
love your videos. you give us hope.
I was on PPI'S for over 20+ yrs. My dr said, "No issues, no problems," but i did start having issues last summer. I had several ER visits. I figured out my Prevacid was the cause. Learning as I go to heal myself. Happy i found this channel. Will never trust another dr 100% again!! ✌️
Same here .. 22 years on nexium and doctors really f'd up my stomache . Now I'm at the mercy of home remedies
@@gwizz973please tell me, what did you take for home remedies?
Doctors doesn't take classes in medical school for this issue .
@@Lianasworld658 digestive enzymes, whatever works for your system...
What did you take for home remedies? !?
Great information. I just stumbled across your channel. I am interested in growing my microbiome with prebiotic fibers and saw that you did a UA-cam video on that. Can you do one on what prebiotic fibers would be good for someone with oxalate issues and maybe even some treatments to help get rid of the oxalate issues?
I love it, Dr. DiNezza: "The Apple Cider Vinegar Lobbyists Association of America."😅😅 But we sure could use the ACVLA of A to get in there and make things right -- gastrointestinally-speaking!! 😂❤👍🥰🙏😊
Can the Vagus nerve causes a lot of health issues .
*Vagues Nerve is causing Acid Reflux, Low Stomach Acid and Heart Palpitation each night* ,
I thankyou for all these videos!! I'm really not sure whats wrong with my bowels, I have been struggling for answers and diagnosis my entire life..
Bingo,thank you,the brick feeling i have been saying for quite some time.Feels like you ate a bag of cement.I eat a lot of bulk,a lot of kefir,a lot of kimchee and sauer kraut but still.I am on prednisone for pmr,and high bp medicines.
What about animal based foods? Do you eat more plant based or more animal based?
Can you talk more about PPI's and getting off them? As well as taking things like Betaine while trying to get off the PPI.
Not fun, quit cold turkey. 24-48 after quitting it came roaring back. Went no fried,tomato,onion based foods, or coffee and alcohol. Did hcl pills with every big meal for a week. Probably was 3 weeks of hell but it did solve my reflux longterm. Ppis are a money maker, it’s a shame it’s the goto thing for doctors.
❤ It. Thanks for sharing informations and God bless
Have you dealt with patients who are unable to burp (retrograde cricopharyngeal disfunction)?
I’m in the UK, is it still possible to do your course?
Useful info. Just a side note: most vegans choose that diet because they care about animals, its for ethics, not for health.
I know one thing , if I was ever to go on it, because of my health 100% .
Thank you,
Thank you ❤
I did the baking soda test in order to test my stomach acid. It’s a very simple, at home test requiring only baking soda and water. You can look up UA-cam video for instructions.
What about constant sore throat with low stomach acid?
and feeling of foreign body in throat
It is also a big sign of low stomach acid....
Gall bladder pain and symptoms for the last 6 yrs. Every night at 2 am, 3:30am and 5am terrible stabbing pain in my right shoulder blade and lost of painful burping. Always had an upset stomach as a kid due to nerves. Life stress increases about six years ago due to spouse losing his legs. Now I wake up at 2am choking on bile and sometimes regurgitates food. Finding it difficult to swallow and eat due to a lot of fullness and gassy in my stomach. This whole digestion problem coupled with the gall bladder issues have taken over my entire life and ruined my sleep. I started taking HCL bile salts last year and they help but still not enough. Can barely swallow the bile pills so now I'm taking ACV with every meal and it's really helping. I constantly crave sweets and carbs and I was formally a big intermittent faster and OMAD. Now I can't stop eating. Wish me luck!
Hey I have the same symptoms. I keep waking up in the middle of the night feeling bloated… I have the right shoulder / back/ right lower rib pain as well. Did you ever do anything about your gallbladder? Or was ACV the trick for you?
@@jamescoe9121 the HCL bile salts help with the gall bladder pain the most. I get them on Amazon and if I wake up in the middle of the night I take two of them. They usually stop it pretty quick. If it's real bad I lay on a heating pad. But Sundown Naturals makes the bile salts I buy and they are very affordable hope this helps
Have you tried acupuncture? My cravings for sweets have diminished since my spleen meridian has been activated.
Shouldn't you differentiate from the start whether one is already on medication?
thank u!
What about testing stomach fluid using ph paper
Pretty much everyone has low stomach acid if you eat carbs often and get acid reflux heartburn. The cure is ketogenic diet or better yet animal products based diet and enough sodium chloride to make hydrochloric acid. Meat needs good stomach acid for good digestion and good stomach acid is the first line of immune system defense..
I was diagnosed with EPI. Keto is hard on your pancreas! Check your stool! It gives pretty good idea how is your GI working.
Carbs don’t hurt your stomach acid. Puhleeze🤦🏻♂️
@BT_life2 he's saying, if you get stomach reflux after eating bread, it could be a low stomach acid problem. This lady literally said most of us don't have enough stomach acid.
I was diagnosed with SIBO but my only symptoms were flatulence. I heard many people saying those breath tests are not accurate. Is there another reason for flatulence?
Cure is basically the same. Find a probiotic that doesn’t bother you and eat foods that don’t bother you until healed, and/or get a Homeopath.
What about tudca? Will it help low stummach acid
Im wondering what your take is on SSRIs and other psychiatric meds and how they affect your gut health. I was on those meds for 22 years and have been off for 13 months. I've had a multitude of physcial symptoms on top of emotional and psychological symptoms. One of the worst currently is my stomach issues. They came out of nowhere. I was also on omeprazole for a couple years but have been off of those for a couple years now as well. I have all fo the symptoms you outlined in this video. I have betaine HCL but am so shell shocked by psyche meds, I won't even take OTC pain meds when I'm in physical pain... It's a shame there aren't any funded studies on psyche med brain damage. I've heard 95% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut and also that the vagus nerve also contributes to gut health as well. There's evidence to suggest that damage occurs to the vagus nerve while taking psyche meds. I suppose I've had gut issues my entire life but nothing this overt or pronounced. I'm extremely acitve and need food and nutrients to keep me going so when I can't eat or even take my supplements, I fear I'm doing irreparable damage... From hearing other individual's going through similar situations stories, I've noticed a pattern with gut issues with all of them... Benzo belly is the term used most. I was a poly drug addict using and abusing opiates , among other things, for many years and the worst drug I've ever taken was the one that was prescribed to me by a doctor that I only took as directed... Hoping you read this comment and that you can use this knowledge in your practice. I'm sure you will come across it sooner or later if you haven't already... Thanks for the information in the video. Hoping it can heal my guts!
Get a homeopath
April 16 2024. I have soure taste and hunger pangs. My itegragrative med doc has been treating me for leaky gut. The hunger is diminishing but the sour taste hasn't
No ppi for 6 months
I have tried apple cider vinegar digestive enzymes but still have symptoms.. should I try betatine hcl.
I used to vape / smoke for 3 years, thankfully I quit 7 months ago but I have been struggling with burping / belching after every meal, anytime I have water, and even upon waking up? Any guidance would be appreciated!
I smoked for 37 years, now vape. I don't think they are causes of your situation. Diet, however, may be
@@JohnQPublic345 My diet is fairly good, I eat mostly whole foods such as potatoes, fruit, rice, meat etc. Also, these issues developed soon after quitting vaping...
Got all these conditions. 🙁
Hi I've had yellow diarea for nearly 2 years and acid reflux and weight loss any advise appreciated,
So you eat more animal based or more plantbased?
What about LPR (silent reflux)? I don’t have painful indigestion but I burp so so much, and they’re like ‘soft’ burps, not gassy. I started to go low fodmap but not sure if this is the issue. I also get constipation flare ups too.
I have that problem too. I once counted 300 burps in a day. I’m trying apple cider vinegar with lemon juice before my meals, it made me burp slightly less after a couple weeks but it either stopped helping beyond that or is taking a very long time to help. I also take ginger supplements. My doctors never helped me, I’m on my own. If you have any ideas….
@@Hursimear hey so the past few weeks have been a bit better for me, less burping and reflux. I think the most important change was sticking to regular meal times (breakfast around 8am, lunch around 12, dinner around 5pm) and I always stand and walking after meals with some gentle stretching throughout the day. If I sit down for ages after a meal I get reflux symptoms later. I’ve been following this routine:
- SLOWLY eating, at least 15/20 minutes per meal, make sure to fully chew your food
- sitting for a few minutes after your meal to let everything settle
- No liquids straight after eating (obviously if you have soup or something in your meal that’s fine, but don’t drink loads of extra water). I usually wait half an hour before drinking anything.
- walking for as much as possible after my meals. If I’m busy I’ll at least try to stand and just keep my body slowly moving
- make sure my breakfast and lunch are bigger, dinner is smaller. I’ve been stopping eating about 5/6 hours before sleeping.
- snacks are okay but keep them healthy. Chocolate and sweets (refined sugar) really triggers my symptoms so I would try cut those out completely.
This has made things a lot better. Also I’ve been trying to stick to low FODMAP diet and being aware of stacking, which basically means don’t eat too much of any one food in a single meal. This is to reduce bloating and IBS symptoms - not sure if you have this so might not apply to you.
See you have the same as I do . we don't have heartburn .
I take Probiotic each day and it helps to go Poo.
Yeah it can be linked for sure. Better fix it before indigestion starts. I just ignored it and then my stomach just stopped working at some point
No mention of cognitive symptoms? Brain fog? Fatigue?
anxiety
Well said brain fog is a big one
Agreed! Non specific symptoms so the cause could be anything.
Yeah no. Betaine HCL didn’t make a difference.
indigestion was like, the food stuck in your stomach and you feel the pain right in the middle of your stomach.
is acid reflux that has lasted a month and that is ongoing a sign of low stomach acid?
no other symptoms
Dr dinezza can low stomach acid cause frothy/foamy urine ?
Kidney problems can
Has anyone tried BeetFlow, by imperical labs?
Can you talk about sensitive stomachs? Why is the stomach sometimes sensitive and in some people not?
Good question. Low serotonin causes weak stomach mucus (lining)
Poor zinc also
so an antidepressant should help? sounds cool!
@@luxaeterna3246
but what really helped me was fasting 24 hours, then once 36 hours and since then my stomach is fine and can tolerate more triggers, like green tea or ginger
@@luxaeterna3246
How do I join. My name is Phil yeager
I have indigestion all the time, I am taking Betaine and have been for ages, ok I stop now and again hoping my body will make its own acid. I got covid recently and oh boy it hit my gut etc.
Did Betaine HCI ever help you ???? Did you noticed the difference?
DONT BETAINE BURN THROAT ESOPHAGUS. VINEGAR PILLS ALSO. AM I RIGHT. MAY 19,2024
@@eddieabbott370 I take Betaine and it doesn't burn my throat . I know ACV will burn the throat .
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!
So gastritis? I’m think slippery elm and/or marshmallow root to protect lining (before and/or after eating), mastic gum to protect and heal (probably best on empty stomach), glutamine to build lining (can take with food), and BRAT diet (or at least a low acid diet) until mucosal layer builds back up.
Then you can add acid like apple cider vinegar or betaine HCl.
Which probiotic would you recommend by d- lactic acidosis?
Plain Greek yogurt, Kefir, Saurakaut, fermented food, apple cider vinegar 😊
Also prebiotic food 😊
I am suffering from low stomach
acid.I have bloating and indigestion al the time.I have lost 23 kg weight.I have H phylori also but I discontinued the medicine because it caused dihrea.I am vegetarian..if I take plant based protein,do my hcl level rise up ...pls tell
No. Every powder lower hcl.
What you do for living
Eat meat. It heals the body. You'll never get healthy from plants. Period. I was vegan too
Can ACV give the same results as HCL ?
I feel betaine works better than acv. I tried both before. But it is my personal opinion.
I read that if u supplement with hcl acid it is just one type of stomach acid, and therefore can overtime, cause imbalsnce in the stomach acid.
would like to know that answer .
What about Barrett’s esophagus with Gerd?
I hope you are doing ok , get the "EGD test " often .
I have a question , how can a person avoid getting esophagus ????
I have GERD and Erosion Esophagus and I am doing everything I can think of to avoid Barrett's.
I know I'm not getting the right information for doctors , that's for sure .

@@debbiec6216I didn’t heal it. Having surgery next week. The only thing that helped me manage it was waiting along time before going to sleep, sleeping on incline bed, eating very little, and not eating trigger foods at all.
I had bad gastritis h pylori and on antibiotic and ppi ( for 3 yrs ) gastritis got healed but after during the ppi I noticed in hot weather my stool become hard, no burping and balching or any stomach cramp or gerd … water intake is good .
I was diagnosed with SIBO by a FMD via a Gut Zoomer test. I mean, 30 pages of bacteria. Yet, my gut feels great, so I don't get it. I have Hashi's. My diet is Paleo. I'm regular every day *to the minute* and my stool is textbook perfect. No GERD, no heartburn, no gas, no burping, no bloating, no stomach pain. Obviously, I'm not going to go on any antibiotic or herbal protocol, but does anyone have a clue why I would test positive? Oh, I dumped that FMD btw.
You may just have a low overgrowth currently but if its pathogenic better to address it sooner rather than later.
Maybe you were taking probiotics when you did the testing? It can affect the results
I've been taking S. boulardii for years due to a significant C.diff. (from taking an antibiotic) history. @@MW-ob8jm
If you tested positive but are asymptomatic I would suspect the test is a false positive
May be if you address ypur gut, hashis will be reversed

Thanks Dr DiNezza for your info. I once ate a whole plant based diet with low salt. My Doctor asked me did the colour of beetroot go through to my poo. I said yes and he said I have low stomach acid (HCL). I found out the RDI for chloride (one of the important parts of HCL) is 3000 mg. Apparently the main dietary source of chloride is salt (NaCl). My blood pressure is very good so I thought as a test, I would add the RDI of 5000 mg of salt (a teaspoon) to my diet. My blood pressure didn’t increase, my stomach issues ceased, and I no longer get beetroot coloured poo. I now routinely check my blood pressure, but I think the extra sodium doesn’t increase it because my vegan diet is rich in potassium. Anyway that’s my story, I hope it helps someone.
What really helps in Low Stomach acid ??? Is it cause of Not eating enough Salt ???
I do check my blood pressure daily . Even if I check , what good will it help ?? can you explain please?
The only kind of Salt I'll use *Celtic Sea Salt* . how did you get your stomach issues to creased???
Does everyone have to go on Vegan Diet with Low Stomach Acid and Acid Reflux ? Thank you .
@@debbiec6216 What worked for me was eating enough chloride. Your stomach can’t make HCL without chloride) You don’t have to be vegan. If you don’t eat many veggies (all veggies contain potassium) you could try potassium chloride instead of NaCl ( salt). Apparently too much Sodium without enough potassium can raise blood pressure. I’m not a doctor. Discuss it with your doc, they should know.
Eat meat
WHY HAVENT YOU MENTIONED THE CONSTANT THROAT CLEARING????
im wondering: can you have low stomach acid but no real "digestive" issues that are noticed? like acid reflux, bloating, heartburn, gas etc?
my main issues are skin rashes, my hair is so brittle and dead like im not absorbing anything. i am taking enzymes but i am very stressed 24/7 and i think i might have low HCL.
Interesting....I have the same issues.
Try B1
i tried high dose benfothiamine and it made 0 difference.@@luxaeterna3246
Same here, sort of. I get pain and bloating but no reflux or heartburn.
you have the same thing as I do , with the hair , brittle . Stress causes alot of health issues .
I get Indigestion, but the main symptom in have is shortness of breath after eating - I can't yawn or inhale. So frustrating
I burp but sometimes have to force burps out. They are deep burps.
Also, I eat lots of protein, but struggle to build muscle. My total protein and globulin should be higher, considering I consume lots of protein.
I have slight constipation, where my stools are small balls more often that not. But i do go regularly.
My iron (ferritin) although, 'ok' is at the lower end of the range at only 63ug/L.
See a naturopathic doctor or get a homeopath. Also, research retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction but that’s certainly not a diagnosis because sounds like you need to be seen.
I feel bad after every meal whether I take betaine hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar or if I diluted stomach acid in the past, I just don't know what to do. I stand up 2 to 3 hours after each meal while chewing fennel seeds and I still get fullness, tenderness and the ball feeling or pulling feeling in my throat, I don't know what I'm going to do, I haven't been living happy for over 9 years now and I'm agoraphobic because of it and I'm on disability now mainly because of this problem. I have autism and ADHD, it's a nightmare. 😢
Will keep you in my prayers, David😊
@@alicebarneto171 Thank you for your prayers, prayers from others haven't helped so far, maybe my faith is weak, I don't know, it's hard to have faith in Jesus from pain that doesn't go away.
Bless your heart,I'm so there! Have had this problem over 20 yrs.,was on rx most of the time,but slowly weaned off because it doesn't help!!
So i guess i have low stomach acid, does drinking too much water dilute stomach acid?
Yes. Best to drink water between meals. Maybe add fermented cabbage? Try apple cider vinegar?
@@Ane127 can I shop for the apple cider vinegar or it's homemade?
Have fixed my reflux with hcl pills, suffered from 20-37 years old.
I sufferred for more than 6 years., what specific HCI pills do you take?
@@eli4333dud you take any?
what if im takin some hcl, but about mid day (eaten small carnivor beef patty breakfast around 7am) around 3 or 4 oclock my stomach starts percolating, bubbling, & sounding like jacque custos underwater adventures? thank u
You might be interested to look at the Traditional Chinese Medicine organ clock. If it's consistent the same time every day, the clock might shed some light on the underpinnings.
is it safe to take betaine hcl with each meal forever? because it has helped me sooooooooo much just worried can I take to much?
Were u constipated?
I am taking betaine hcl , i heard 3 months at the most , to taking it .
*But you need to do more research on your questions . Because I am NOT A DOCTOR .
IMO meat is the easiest food to digest. What is not easy are vegetables like seeds, grains, nuts, mushrooms. I watched videos of people who removed their colons because of ulcerative colitis and because of the changing of their stoma bag they see every day what food have been digested well and what food have not. They said they never saw undigested meat or any animal product. They see only undigested grains like corn, nuts or mushrooms ... etc.
When properly digested, meat leaves very little residue but that doesn't mean it's easier to digest. Meat eating species, including both carnivores and omnivores, often have higher stomach acid than herbivorous species.
Yes. Corn is number one and contrary to trending belief plant foods are extremely acidic
@@ToxoplasmosisVsRodents Pepsin requires a low pH to activate it.
Meat is magic
I was carnivore for at least 3 yrs. Things seemed to be healing… now I probably have SIBO and candida somehow…. I dunno what haao
Hi Doctor, what do you think of the GAPS protocole ?
that's a stricter diet than Keto . I watched a lady on youtube do the GAPs , she was right on it , and doing whatever need done . She finally started feeling better . It's very very strict .
I took the baking soda challenge Once I took my first drink , I burped and I waited 14 minutes to see if I was
going to burp again. *I didn't burp only that one time* *Does that mean , I guess I don't have it* ?????
The first G.I. doctor, I went too, she said , for me to take the first 30 days, so I did*.
Once I took the 30 day, I never took any more since that time* . It's been 3 1/2 years ago.
Don't know what you mean for you to take for the first 30 days? I've read that one should do the 1/4 teaspoon of FRESH baking soda + 8 ounces of water in the morning before you eat anything. If you burp within the first 3 minutes, it means your stomach acidity is fine; if you don't, then it means that you're acidity is likely low. You should do the test over 5 days to assess any consistency or variation.
I plan on having a doctor give me a test , to see how ( high or low ) my acidity become .
What is the ideal ph for stomach acid not to be low?
1.5
