SO GOOD!! WOW, I've been treated with 2 doses of a PPI for 2 years (without relief) and come to find out my GERDs is actually LOW acid. Started the HCL (with Peptin - will stop that part). My GERDs are pretty much gone, and no more nighttime coughing and the post-nasal drip is almost gone (I don't have a Gallbladder, and to take supplements as you've recommended). Now, my, what the heck is it that my gastro doctors are clueless & almost belligerent with my 'self-diagnosis''...
Way to go! And yeah, this video explains how I went through 23 different doctors with no help: czcams.com/video/Ry_mGzS6JU4/video.html If you have any trouble with the gallbladder removal, this video can help too: czcams.com/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/video.html Keep up the great work!
I watch many videos by various people on some of these topics, but you are the best! Must give ample credit to you. Your explanation on the stomach might be alkaline because of the bacterial overgrowth and how to overcome the issue before taking betaine was simply gold. Keep up the good work.
Love all your videos, very well explained! You make this topic interesting and easy to understand. I do experience some of the discomforts you mention here. Now I know a lot about digestion and how to fix my digestion problems, thanks to you. God bless you!

Thanks to your advice now I can tolerate Betaine HCL, the non pepsin version works best for me. I worked up to 8 pills, i have no stomach burning or strong reflux. - My problem is that it just makes me bloated and constipated. How come I can take 8 500mg capsules and just get left with bloating and constipation, rather than diarrhea? I am confused what my next step should be
Hi! I took 2 Betaine HCL, one digestive enzyme and one beet flow (all from empirical) with my meals today. After dinner I started burping a lot and felt a little burning (not usual). Does this usually signify more HCL is needed with meals for now? This is my 2nd day taking and figuring out dosing. I took your course btw!
Outstanding video, TC. I have two associated questions: 1.) Why do you prefer to stay away from Betaine supplements that contain pepsin? 2.) I have found a Betaine supplement that contains vegetable peptase instead of pepsin. Does your preference regarding the avoidance of pepsin apply to vegetable peptase as well? Thank you in advance for your response to these two questions, TC.
Thanks Brian. Pepsin is okay. But most people need to work up to a full dose of 5 HCL per meal to get real benefits, and a dose of pepsin that high can often cause discomfort. That's why we use this HCL: naturalreference.com/products/betaine-hcl
Do you have any opinion regarding betaine supplements that incorporate vegetable peptase (VegPeptase) as a substitute for pepsin? Would large amounts of VegPeptase potentially cause the same problems as large amounts of pepsin?

I had bought TC Hale book on Amazon , the best read, ever !!! I recommended my family and friends to buy the book too. There's over 20 of them who has it , I recently found out , other friends have Acid Reflux . It's more common , than we realize . This weekend, we all will be at a party and guess what that topic will be mentioned (lol) Acid Reflux and others.
@@KickItNaturally This group of people needs Help , They will ask me questions and I'll check out TCHale , he has tons of videos and better yet that book he has on Amazon will be your guide , just like the Encyclopedia.
@@KickItNaturally Update add one more family member who has Acid Reflux , I just found that out yesterday 5/19/2024 . In 2 hours I'll be having another "EGD" test , we keep up with my Esophagus , that's one of my biggest worries aka Esophageal Cancer . That's why, I want to get#1 Esophagus and #2 Acid Reflux #3 Low Stomach Acid #4 Hiatal Hernia 100% Healed . I am working over 6 health issues at the same time (# 5 / #6 2 knee replacement and soon Hip replacement ) ( these 3 is cause of an accident which came back to haunt me , this is a very long story ). It's over 20 people, I know who had Acid Reflux or some kind of Gut , Esophagus , aka G.I. health issues . I have 2 sister in laws who had Gut issues , I'm getting to wonder if the 3rd sister in law has it too , but I'm not sure about her . Getting to think G.I issues , is heredity . I know me and my daughter has G.I. issues , Many of them has IBS. This is morning Women out of this list . As far as Men , only the 2 men who died from Esophageal Cancer .
I have been supplementing with both HCL and Beetroot but had to discontinue due to very bad stomach aches in the morning on empty stomach and during the day. I have candida in the gut and always get bloating. I have done the flush twice in the space of 10 days and I tell you what, my stool is definitely darker. It's been years that my stool has carried a lighter shade of brown. Now, I don't know what's causing the stomach aches to increase when taking this combination....
First, if you're just taking normal beet root, that won't do anything. It needs to be Beet Flow from empirical labs. And it sounds like you might need to get aggressive at reducing some type of overgrowth either in the stomach or small intestine.

@@KickItNaturally Hey Kickit, it's the empiral labs Beet flow that I take! It's great, it's just that in combination with HCL, my stomach doesn't like it so you may be right
I get cramps all over the body and headache even if I keep using only one capsule. I tried with and without pepsin but had the same side effects. I just gave up.

I recently started to massively increase my sodium intake and am very glad I did, however, I started thinking that adding salt to meals was going to influence my stomach acid problemnegatively due to the added alkalinity and I'm okay with not salting my food but what do you think, Tony?
I took 1 HCL with each meal over 1 day, total 3 HCL. After the third one, I felt like I needed to lay down, my heart beat got faster, I became very hot for a minute, then it passed. That night I had jerks of head, when falling asleep, involuntarily. Even twitching in my arm, it went on for hours and I could not sleep. Some were 10 sec apart. I have not had any since as I don’t like being an insomniac twitching all night. My heart also got faster and I felt very hot around 9pm, a few hours after the 1st time. I wanted to get guidance and applied for coaching, but not had a response yet, it said 48 hrs to reply, 42 hours ago. Comments? Thoughts? Please. Thanks 🙏

So, from my understanding .I have betaine hcl (with pepsin) 650mg per cap, my upper limit is 4 caps per meal? I dont feel the discomfort you talk about but either the slight burning sensation that i should feel. I take sometimes up to 10 caps to feel something! Is that pretty high if the stomach should hold on only 2500mg? Thank you! An keep the good work up! 🎉
We're not permitted to give specific advice in video comments. Bjut this video talks about steps we like to see people take when a normal dose of HCL is not enough: czcams.com/video/3KJB0EXHg1Q/video.html
I just started messing with hcl a couple days ago. Today I ate lunch and didn't take it. Big mistake. Lots of pain. Prior to that I took 2 in the middle of a few meals and thought they were helping I just took 3 in the middle of my dinner. Really bad stomach pain for about a half hour but now it's gone and I feel fine. Any thoughts?
Can be from a variety of things, but most commonly a bacterial overgrowth that is reacting to the HCL killing it off like we talk about in this video. This video might give you some insights: czcams.com/video/RjPdowTvD6I/video.html
@T.C. Hale Next week I'll be getting "EGD test " to keep track of my Esophagus . I only take 3 pills per day HCL . If he takes a Biopsy , it will take 3 weeks for results . I haven't taken P.P.I for the last 4 1/2 years , I only took it under my doctor guidance , she said to me. Only take 30 days of P.P.I and only because she didn't want me to become Addicted to the pills. I keep up with my medical 24/7 since March 25, 2020 - present time. I stopped over 16 years ago from eating Process Foods, Soda or anyother toxic foods / drinks. how do you know, your Acid reflux is healed , what test do you take to figure that out ??? *Yes, I have Low Stomach Acid and rest of health issues* , it's a 24/7 aka Full time job keeping up with it.
Cramping can be a sign of killing off bacteria for some people. But this video explains why we don't let any clients use HCL without also using Beet Flow: czcams.com/video/RWeypEjU0wo/video.html

Question. I have done 10 day juice fast, lifted weights for 30 years, went fresh vegetarian for 4 years never been fat. Dont have any blood or health issues, no bp or sugar or weight issues. However I am suffering from chronic rhinosinusitus, nasal polyps, severe nasal inflammation But no infection or discharge. I had blood tests and take d3 so my # is 45. Yet this sinus thing persists. Outwardly i look great, what am I missing? Its severly impacting my life. Ent is going to remove the polyps and do a deviated septum correction in June. What the hell is going on with my sinus. I did a lvl 3 blood tests, I'm not asthmatic and don't have a aspirin sensitivity. There are no food antibodies and no food allergies per the test results. Yet this sinus swelling is so bad I can't breath in or out of my nose. I need some more data. I'm 54 male 6f3 225 lbs. I'm not fat. What the hell is going on.

Many cheap supplements include binders that can restrict your ability to assimilate nutrients for sure, but I'm not sure of ones that might interfere with stomach acid production. there are some that can neutralize stomach acids. So we try not to use cheap supplements that you might find in a local pharmacy or something like that.
The only thing i have is congestion + postnasal drip. No other symptoms. I feel great in general. These 2 things are annoying and after visiting few doctors - they told me I have no allergies (did prick+blood tests). I visited 2 ENT's, one of them told me all is good, other told me I have reflux. Does starting Betaine HCL to try to see if i have low stomach acid make sense? Thanks a lot!
They can be a small boost, but if a person is having digestive symptoms, they likely need more help than that. Here is our video about enzymes: czcams.com/video/NmtuKM8cf6A/video.html
I notice coffee can cause loose bowels first thing in the morning, is that because it can increase stomach acid or perhaps mess with the valves in stomach? Should I be taking something first thing in the morning like the beet flow to get ahead of the coffee induced lava flow? lol
@@KickItNaturally I'm on carnivore diet, I'm eating beef and hard boiled eggs only (hard boiled eggs because I don't have diarrhea often then, like when I'm eating beef only). I realised that every time when I'm eating fatier cuts of beef, I get diarrhea instantly. So I started to eat eggs with beef and take digestive enzymes before meal, I think it helped a bit. Do you think is it good idea to take betaine hcl too with enzymes (both together) , before every meal, for me? I'm 55 years old.
@@KickItNaturally I’m still struggling with slow bowels. I’m currently doing 4hcl/1 beetflow per meal- been doing this for 5-6 weeks. What would be best way forward to speed up the digestion?
Hi...i've been having acid reflux for the past few months...PPIs are not helping...i started Betaine HCL 5 days ago with one capsule(648mg) per meal....the first 2 days my acid reflux has improved and i felt better but after that it kind of went back to my previous condition and when i tried to take an additional capsule per meal,the reflux symptoms worsen...it also sometimes gave me minor head pressure/brain fog...do u think i should continue with present dosage of 1 capsule per meal or increase the dosage or stop taking it altogether?I really appreciate your opinion on this.TQVM🙏

In my book I talk about at least approaching bile flow first so you don't fix low stomach acid before poor bile flow issues and create loose stool problems. You can go over all that in chapter 3 of my book and you can download it for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
I took 1 Betaine HCL pill (650mg w/ 140mg Pepsin) during a meal and about 45 minutes later I started tingling all over lol. What does that usually mean?
It could mean a variety of things, but 1 is rarely enough to fix digestion for most people. If you read chapter 3 and 4 of my book, it walks through how to use it correctly and you can download that for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
This question is often coming from a place of confusion so I'm going to make a video about this that should be out next week so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it.
If you're taking it with our meal, but I don't think that would happen over time. But LOTS of things can reduce HCL production like we talk about here: czcams.com/video/Hvr-I37Oe3E/video.html
I'ts OKAY, if someone only needs a very small boost, but most people need more than that. and here is our video about how should not use ACV: czcams.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/video.html
Hi Shelley, The opinion is that it can, but in 15 years I've never seen a client who had reflux from having too much stomach acid. When there is more acid than a person has enough bile to neutralize, we usually see that result in loose stools.
@@KickItNaturally hi there, thank you for clarifying this for me. That’s exactly what I thought but a functional doctor told me that it can be caused by both low and too much HCL
The growth of the channel has made me too busy to take on new clients anymore, but you can learn about working with one of the coaches I have trained, who still have access to me, here: kickitnaturally.com/working-with-tony
Background : In 5th grade I had some kind of reaction in music class. All of a sudden my eyes and nose started leaking huge amounts of clear muscus then it went away. A few years after that I noticed when I mowed the grass I would get stuffed up and sneezed alot. Over the years this has persisted. But in the las 10 years it's gotten chronic. I've lived outdoors my entire life. Multiple presidents physical fitness awards. And have been an athlete my entire life. I have read untold white papers on clinical testing on a huge array of topics. The closest I have gotten was a possible d3 deficiency but that turned out as far as I can tell to be a non issue. Beyond extreme sinus swelling i have not been able to nail down causation.
ACV can be helpful if a person just needs a little boost. Here is our video on an imbalance that can come from using too much though: czcams.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/video.html
I have a lot of complication that it prevents me to take hcl. I suffer from EPI, and I don’t have a gallbladder also I have high pepsin and bam(bile salt malabsorption) because of chron’s disease. I take creon for enzymes and I can’t take hcl because creon need it to work better through my small intestines rather in my stomach that will make the creon open up in the stomach if I took hcl and lowered my astomech acid .

What are the discomfort symptoms with too much Pepsin? HCL with Pepsin actually tends to give me harder stools.
We hear about things like nausea, magnified bloating, general discomfort or loose stools. Not everyone will experience this.
@@KickItNaturally That is good to know. Thanks. I will try ones without Pepsin cause it does give me odd bloat.

have Acid Reflux . It's more common , than we realize .
This weekend, we all will be at a party and guess what that topic will be mentioned (lol) Acid Reflux and others.
lol :)
@@KickItNaturally This group of people needs Help , They will ask me questions and I'll check out TCHale , he has tons of videos and better yet that book he has on Amazon will be your guide , just like the Encyclopedia.
@@KickItNaturally Update add one more family member who has Acid Reflux , I just found that out yesterday 5/19/2024 . In 2 hours I'll be having another "EGD" test , we keep up with my Esophagus , that's one of my biggest worries aka Esophageal Cancer .
That's why, I want to get#1 Esophagus and #2 Acid Reflux #3 Low Stomach Acid #4 Hiatal Hernia 100% Healed .
I am working over 6 health issues at the same time (# 5 / #6 2 knee replacement and soon Hip replacement ) ( these 3 is cause of an accident which came back to haunt me , this is a very long story ).
It's over 20 people, I know who had Acid Reflux or some kind of Gut , Esophagus , aka G.I. health issues . I have 2 sister in laws who had Gut issues , I'm getting to wonder if the 3rd sister in law has it too , but I'm not sure about her .
Getting to think G.I issues , is heredity . I know me and my daughter has G.I. issues ,
Many of them has IBS. This is morning Women out of this list .
As far as Men , only the 2 men who died from Esophageal Cancer .
I have been supplementing with both HCL and Beetroot but had to discontinue due to very bad stomach aches in the morning on empty stomach and during the day. I have candida in the gut and always get bloating. I have done the flush twice in the space of 10 days and I tell you what, my stool is definitely darker. It's been years that my stool has carried a lighter shade of brown. Now, I don't know what's causing the stomach aches to increase when taking this combination....
First, if you're just taking normal beet root, that won't do anything. It needs to be Beet Flow from empirical labs. And it sounds like you might need to get aggressive at reducing some type of overgrowth either in the stomach or small intestine.

@@KickItNaturally Hey Kickit, it's the empiral labs Beet flow that I take! It's great, it's just that in combination with HCL, my stomach doesn't like it so you may be right
I get cramps all over the body and headache even if I keep using only one capsule. I tried with and without pepsin but had the same side effects. I just gave up.

Read. Says it’s free.
I recently started to massively increase my sodium intake and am very glad I did, however, I started thinking that adding salt to meals was going to influence my stomach acid problemnegatively due to the added alkalinity and I'm okay with not salting my food but what do you think, Tony?
Table or sea salt is neutral. It has a ph close to 7
I took 1 HCL with each meal over 1 day, total 3 HCL. After the third one, I felt like I needed to lay down, my heart beat got faster, I became very hot for a minute, then it passed. That night I had jerks of head, when falling asleep, involuntarily. Even twitching in my arm, it went on for hours and I could not sleep. Some were 10 sec apart. I have not had any since as I don’t like being an insomniac twitching all night. My heart also got faster and I felt very hot around 9pm, a few hours after the 1st time.

So, from my understanding
.I have betaine hcl (with pepsin) 650mg per cap, my upper limit is 4 caps per meal? I dont feel the discomfort you talk about but either the slight burning sensation that i should feel. I take sometimes up to 10 caps to feel something! Is that pretty high if the stomach should hold on only 2500mg? Thank you! An keep the good work up! 🎉
We're not permitted to give specific advice in video comments. Bjut this video talks about steps we like to see people take when a normal dose of HCL is not enough: czcams.com/video/3KJB0EXHg1Q/video.html
I just started messing with hcl a couple days ago.
Today I ate lunch and didn't take it. Big mistake. Lots of pain.
Prior to that I took 2 in the middle of a few meals and thought they were helping
I just took 3 in the middle of my dinner. Really bad stomach pain for about a half hour but now it's gone and I feel fine.
Any thoughts?
Can be from a variety of things, but most commonly a bacterial overgrowth that is reacting to the HCL killing it off like we talk about in this video. This video might give you some insights: czcams.com/video/RjPdowTvD6I/video.html
Thanks dear sir
Most welcome
It gave me headaches and severe vertigo.
Reactions like that are usually due to some of the things we talked about in this video
@T.C. Hale
Next week I'll be getting "EGD test " to keep track of my Esophagus . I only take 3 pills per day HCL .
If he takes a Biopsy , it will take 3 weeks for results .
I haven't taken P.P.I for the last 4 1/2 years , I only took it under my doctor guidance , she said to me.
Only take 30 days of P.P.I and only because she didn't want me to become Addicted to the pills.
I keep up with my medical 24/7 since March 25, 2020 - present time.
I stopped over 16 years ago from eating Process Foods, Soda or anyother toxic foods / drinks.
how do you know, your Acid reflux is healed , what test do you take to figure that out ???
*Yes, I have Low Stomach Acid and rest of health issues* , it's a 24/7 aka Full time job keeping up with it.
Hi Debbie!
@@KickItNaturally Hello TC Hale
Can you give me a little clue how to know if your acid reflux is heals .
After 2 weeks of HCL dosing(1 to 4 capsules at 650mg) and 1 500mg digestive enzyme, I am noticing abdominal cramping after meals. Is this normal?
Cramping can be a sign of killing off bacteria for some people. But this video explains why we don't let any clients use HCL without also using Beet Flow: czcams.com/video/RWeypEjU0wo/video.html
I take Beet Flow with the HCL. Is that still recommended. This has helped me so much with my digestion.
Beet Flow can be taken with hcl with your meal or away from food
What if you don’t have a gall bladder, can you still use HCL? How will that affect your symptoms?
Here is our video on steps after gallbladder removal: czcams.com/video/jJ_30UK_G0E/video.html
and this video talks about HCL use: czcams.com/video/4iuYpaiFT3Y/video.html
Hi T.C., what about taking just two capsules per meal? Is there enough benefit?
It could be if the person's stomach was making enough of it's own HCL
@@KickItNaturally Is it true that calcium and sodium are necessary to make HCl?
Question. I have done 10 day juice fast, lifted weights for 30 years, went fresh vegetarian for 4 years never been fat. Dont have any blood or health issues, no bp or sugar or weight issues. However I am suffering from chronic rhinosinusitus, nasal polyps, severe nasal inflammation
But no infection or discharge. I had blood tests and take d3 so my # is 45. Yet this sinus thing persists.
Outwardly i look great, what am I missing? Its severly impacting my life. Ent is going to remove the polyps and do a deviated septum correction in June. What the hell is going on with my sinus. I did a lvl 3 blood tests, I'm not asthmatic and don't have a aspirin sensitivity. There are no food antibodies and no food allergies per the test results. Yet this sinus swelling is so bad I can't breath in or out of my nose. I need some more data. I'm 54 male 6f3 225 lbs. I'm not fat. What the hell is going on.
Can you make a video about seizures?
Great topic idea Drew. I've added it to my list.

Come back and let us know how it goes.
TC, I heard someone say once that the ingredients of supplement capsules may reduce or interfere in the stomach acids in the long run. Is that true?
Many cheap supplements include binders that can restrict your ability to assimilate nutrients for sure, but I'm not sure of ones that might interfere with stomach acid production. there are some that can neutralize stomach acids. So we try not to use cheap supplements that you might find in a local pharmacy or something like that.
The only thing i have is congestion + postnasal drip. No other symptoms. I feel great in general. These 2 things are annoying and after visiting few doctors - they told me I have no allergies (did prick+blood tests). I visited 2 ENT's, one of them told me all is good, other told me I have reflux. Does starting Betaine HCL to try to see if i have low stomach acid make sense? Thanks a lot!

Saya pernah minum jus kubis. Tapi hasilnya membuat saya bertambah kembung sehingga berat badan saya menjadi turun drastis. Apa penyebabnya?
Kubis mmg cause bloat itself.
Isn't better and enough to take just digestive enzymes before every meal? They also break down proteins, fat, carbs, lactose...
They can be a small boost, but if a person is having digestive symptoms, they likely need more help than that. Here is our video about enzymes: czcams.com/video/NmtuKM8cf6A/video.html
@@KickItNaturally ok, thank you very much.
I notice coffee can cause loose bowels first thing in the morning, is that because it can increase stomach acid or perhaps mess with the valves in stomach? Should I be taking something first thing in the morning like the beet flow to get ahead of the coffee induced lava flow? lol
@@KickItNaturally I'm on carnivore diet, I'm eating beef and hard boiled eggs only (hard boiled eggs because I don't have diarrhea often then, like when I'm eating beef only). I realised that every time when I'm eating fatier cuts of beef, I get diarrhea instantly. So I started to eat eggs with beef and take digestive enzymes before meal, I think it helped a bit. Do you think is it good idea to take betaine hcl too with enzymes (both together) , before every meal, for me? I'm 55 years old.
It doesn't work for me. I took enzyme but only mild effect and still suffered from indigestion. Felt way much better with betaine
I’m finding the hcl and beetflow is slowing the bowels more. Is this just an initial problem and should I continue until this improves?
Sounds like you might be improving bile flow faster than you're improving the acid side. that is common
@@KickItNaturally I’m still struggling with slow bowels. I’m currently doing 4hcl/1 beetflow per meal- been doing this for 5-6 weeks. What would be best way forward to speed up the digestion?
Hi...i've been having acid reflux for the past few months...PPIs are not helping...i started Betaine HCL 5 days ago with one capsule(648mg) per meal....the first 2 days my acid reflux has improved and i felt better but after that it kind of went back to my previous condition and when i tried to take an additional capsule per meal,the reflux symptoms worsen...it also sometimes gave me minor head pressure/brain fog...do u think i should continue with present dosage of 1 capsule per meal or increase the dosage or stop taking it altogether?I really appreciate your opinion on this.TQVM🙏

@@KickItNaturally Thanks...appreciate it🙏🙏🙏
Should you tackle bile flow first or stomach acid first?
In my book I talk about at least approaching bile flow first so you don't fix low stomach acid before poor bile flow issues and create loose stool problems. You can go over all that in chapter 3 of my book and you can download it for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
Tony, what is the best site for your pro coaching training material? Bio-i "contact us" doesn't work for me. Thanks
Thanks for letting me know. you can use the contact form at kickitnaturally.com until we get it fixed
Why shut off the natural acid pumps in the stomach and then supplement with the same acid you just shut off ???
I don't have a reason to do that, that's just what they were doing in that study
I took 1 Betaine HCL pill (650mg w/ 140mg Pepsin) during a meal and about 45 minutes later I started tingling all over lol. What does that usually mean?
It could mean a variety of things, but 1 is rarely enough to fix digestion for most people. If you read chapter 3 and 4 of my book, it walks through how to use it correctly and you can download that for free here: kickitnaturally.com/free
@@KickItNaturally Sounds good! I also take DGL before meals. That won't interfere with anything will it?
What are the instances that influx ISNT caused by low acid? 🤔
This video on hiatal hernia can give you insights on that: czcams.com/video/zHz0WGYS0sU/video.html
@@KickItNaturally thank u sir 🙏
What if someone is leaning more towards acidity rather than alkaline?
This question is often coming from a place of confusion so I'm going to make a video about this that should be out next week so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it.
@@KickItNaturally well actually I do the urine strips and it says I’m more on the acid side so I’m really confused now
Maybe I just need to hire you. What’s your link to get some information?
Is it possible that taking TUDCA, a bile salt, made my body too alkaline and worsened my HCL production?
If you're taking it with our meal, but I don't think that would happen over time. But LOTS of things can reduce HCL production like we talk about here: czcams.com/video/Hvr-I37Oe3E/video.html
@@KickItNaturally thanks!
How do you know if you have bacterial or fungal overgrowth in the stomach?
White coating on tongue is a possible sign.
I just find out white tongue also a sign for folic acid deficiency
Is ACV good for stomach acidity?
I'ts OKAY, if someone only needs a very small boost, but most people need more than that. and here is our video about how should not use ACV: czcams.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/video.html
What brand does not contain pepsin?
Here's the one we use: naturalreference.com/products/betaine-hcl
Would Betaine HCL and TMG be a better combination than Pepsin ?
Our opinion is that it's not
@@KickItNaturally thanks for the reply, much appreciated 💖
@@KickItNaturally thank you ! Appreciate the feedback 🌺
Can acid reflux be caused by both lack of HCL and too much HCL ?
Hi Shelley, The opinion is that it can, but in 15 years I've never seen a client who had reflux from having too much stomach acid. When there is more acid than a person has enough bile to neutralize, we usually see that result in loose stools.
@@KickItNaturally hi there, thank you for clarifying this for me. That’s exactly what I thought but a functional doctor told me that it can be caused by both low and too much HCL
Do you work with clients privately?
The growth of the channel has made me too busy to take on new clients anymore, but you can learn about working with one of the coaches I have trained, who still have access to me, here: kickitnaturally.com/working-with-tony
Background :
In 5th grade I had some kind of reaction in music class. All of a sudden my eyes and nose started leaking huge amounts of clear muscus then it went away. A few years after that I noticed when I mowed the grass I would get stuffed up and sneezed alot. Over the years this has persisted. But in the las 10 years it's gotten chronic. I've lived outdoors my entire life. Multiple presidents physical fitness awards.
And have been an athlete my entire life. I have read untold white papers on clinical testing on a huge array of topics. The closest I have gotten was a possible d3 deficiency but that turned out as far as I can tell to be a non issue. Beyond extreme sinus swelling i have not been able to nail down causation.
I take 2 hcl with pepsin 10 mins before meal and then once I start eating I take one digestive enzymes and 2 bile acid supplements. Thanks
Here is our video on why taking bile with your meal is a mistake: czcams.com/video/6EhZiBE2SBc/video.html
ACV works best for me.
ACV can be helpful if a person just needs a little boost. Here is our video on an imbalance that can come from using too much though: czcams.com/video/Oi0Y9XSeSXw/video.html
Champ! What do u say on adding oregno oil, black seed oil and grapefruit seed extract for Sibo and Sifo with the D-lemonide and mastic? 🫣
I have had success with clients using all of those, but I can't say which ones might be right or best for you.
Black seed oil for me personally give me constipation and dehydration !
I have a lot of complication that it prevents me to take hcl. I suffer from EPI, and I don’t have a gallbladder also I have high pepsin and bam(bile salt malabsorption) because of chron’s disease. I take creon for enzymes and I can’t take hcl because creon need it to work better through my small intestines rather in my stomach that will make the creon open up in the stomach if I took hcl and lowered my astomech acid . Despite the fact I need hcl because I have sibo and auto immune disease. Is there way around all this mess! I suffer from too much gas and constant bloating and loss of appetite, and so many other symptoms. If there is anything can help me please let me know.
