In today’s video, I’m going to talk about natural remedies for low stomach acid. Your stomach must be highly acidic to break down the foods you're consuming for proper absorption. If you have health conditions similar to leaky gut, you may have low stomach acid. My top five natural remedies to improve stomach acid, digestive function and help acid reflux are:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar (Take one tablespoon before meals and with digestive bitters for optimal results.)
2. Digestive Enzymes (1-2 capsules before meals)
3. HCL with pepsin (Only consume with protein in a meal; please consult your physician.)
4. Manuka Honey
5. Lifestyle change: chew your food more, eat smaller meals, and try intermittent fasting
By following these 5 simple steps, you should naturally be able to treat your low stomach acid. For more on digestive health, you can check out: draxe.com/4-steps-to-heal-leak...

Talk to a Doctor ... really? I have talked to many doctors for the past 15 years. I have done everything mentioned in the video and more (except HCL). Every Doctor told me not to take HCL. Stating I make too much Acid already which is the reason for the inhibitors to lower my stomach acid due to Acid Reflux. Concerning my issues you name it ... I got it. Trying not to get cancer. Over the years things just kept on getting worse to the point that I just wanted to die. I finally just went ahead and took the HCL according to how much protein in the meal. Very little protein I just take 1 pill 650mg ... high protein meals require more pills ... etc. So you need to pay attention to your body. Anyway ... I told my doctor today that I have been taking HCL for about 30 days and I feel like a different person. She freaked out! She even said she not sure if she wants to keep me as a patient if I continue to take them. I told her I'm not sure that I want to keep her as my doctor since you have no idea how HCL w pepsin has helped me. And wonder why she did not know about this? If it was up to me I'd fire every doctor that has treated me for these last 15 years! I think they should be strung up! *Their practice of getting kickbacks on the drugs they prescribe is UNETHICAL and that leads to very poor care at that!*
*My conclusion is you have to be a better doctor than the one treating you!*
Yea i got an endoscopy because they thought i had too much stomach acid which i didn’t according to them from then I’ve had to fend for myself and am now starting to think ive got too little acid
@@GirthQuake9000 I used to be a heavy meat eater. I'm now trying to eat mainly plant-based and organic as much as possible. However I do eat meat occasionally, and when I do I notice I have to take more HCL with pepsin. So it seems to work so much better than all the crap the doctors prescribed for me.
100% doctors are nothing but drug dealers. Your local crack dealer probably has more ethics than them.
They get you sick and keep you sick. I went into a pharmacy looking for a HCL stomach acid product listed on their website, wasn't on the shelf, asked the pharmacist for it and he said people always need less stomach acid don't take that product. When I turned around and said people with acid reflux have low stomach acid as the cause, he didn't argue but didn't know what to say, he didn't say anything I could see him thinking and I smiled and left...useless
I too have same feeling towards doctors.
@@gangotri4793 Yep ... there up there with politicians ...
Five things to take to raise acid in stomach:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar/Digestive Bitters
2. Digestive enzymes
3. Hydrochoric Acid (HCL) with pepsin
4. Manuka Honey
5. Chew 30x before swallowing and eat smaller meals.
+Si mon why take betaine hcl? Why not just take ascorbic acid which is a lot cheaper and also a strong antioxidant as well?
DAN8800 I've tried ascorbic acid over a series of weeks and didn't get very good results. I have actually since moved to Stinging Nettle infusions, I am getting extremely good results from taking this daily.
Si mon
is that the same as stinging nettle root? Would that be a good replacement for betaine hcl and apple cider vinegar for stomach acid?
DAN8800 the infusions is dried Stinging Nettle leaf steeped in boiled water for a few hours. I can even begin to tell you how good it has made me feel in terms of fixing my GERD. To find out how to make it, do a CZcams search for _"Susun Weeds Stinging Nettle infusion"_
Si mon
do you think just the stinging nettle supplements would work as well? I never heard of stinging nettle working for stomach acid.
Low stomach acid remedies summary :-
1) Applecider vinegar
2) Digestive enzymes
3) HCL with Pepsin
4) Manuka honey
5) chew your food
6) small meals
7) fasting
You forgot a step. DON'T LISTEN TO DOCTOR
I totally agree with you x
@@justtruth8310 LOL, so true most are full of s#*t
Finally. A real doctor.
LOL... he's not a real doctor.... he's a chiropractor!
THATS A HEALER, REAL DOCTORS DO NOT HEAL THEY KILL YOU SLOWLY AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND PAINFUL
A real doctor. What a joke. MDs use drugs and surgery and then more drugs and surgery, etc....... MDs almost never heal anything. They just keep you on these debilitating pharmaceutical and surgical protocols for life. Often shortened and painful lives. I hope you don't have to go this route. Even the natural doctors have trouble because of the average Americans diet. And it can take years to rebuild a body that has been torn down by years or decades of abuse. I know most all of this data and two days ago I had two pints of Hagen Daz. But I juiced and had organic meats the next two days and I am doing great.
Hes as much doctor as I am.
most allopathic MD's aren't this smart though haha. They don't know how to heal anything...
My physician told me I had GERD because of excess of stomach acid. So he put me on PPIs. After I saw your video, I implemented your advice and feel much better. Not sure if the medical doctors actually work for their patients or the pharmacy companies.
They work for farmacy companies for sure
apple cider vinegar before my meals changed my life!!
+soul runner what if you take it after meals?
+soul runner which brand u use?
+Mordough Johnson cheap walmart brand
Do you take it every day ?? Does it have some precautions ??
Apple cider vinegar is a miracle!! especially helpful during my pregnancy!❤️👌
You and dr. Berg are the only ones that offered a real solution. You've just explained all of my problems. Thank you.
I love Doctor berg !
Actually they offered bandaids to cover up the real problem.. the liver.. ACV, enzymes, HCL are crap
@@toneman8478 And what is your solution? PPI and Antacids?
@@incisor78true, antacid will only worsen the symptoms, it will only give short time relief, that’s what other doctors explained 😊
@@incisor78natural remedies will help a lot 👏 like ACV and Digestive enzymes 😊
Wow thank you for some down right honest advice!! FINALLY so rare to see doctors today approach health in such a clean simple way.
Ikr
So sick of conventional MD. "Take this pill...forever."
Right? They don't know enough for healing. emergency care and rx writing is all they know. most illness we go to doc for can be fixed with minerals (usually mg). it's infuriating
The #1 cause of death in hospitals is medical mistakes. MD's are causing more deaths than disease. But people keep running to them. How many people do you know that won't relocate because they don't want to leave their Drs.?
These doctors are soulless
Follow the money. The drug "pharm" cartel needs you to be sick and won't prescribe root cause cures, just drugs to address symptoms. Natural remedies are a competitive threat. It's a crime against humanity.
Me too!!! That's causing hair thinning and achy joints, awful
I’m one of those with GERD whose doctor has been prescribing acid blockers for over 20 years. And things have only gotten worse.
I’m at the beginning stages of ignoring my doctor and addressing the possibility of low stomach acid with the help of people like you. Thank you for your video.
How are you now sir ?
@@ameykazo4194 still trying, but every time I come off the acid blockers, no matter what I try, I’m refluxing like mad and choking on stomach acid. Can’t make anything different work. The damage to my vocal cords and lungs has me pretty worried.
@@thinkingoutloud6741 how can we know to keep normal acid levels ? Is there any doctor who can tell us
For doctors we are just subjects to experiment. No one out there to help us
Only if someone told us in childhood to eat well n make sure there never arises need for doctors
@@ameykazo4194 drink acv before meals (20-40ml to a glass of water), gerd and low acidity will be gone in 1-6 months, depends on you.
I've had acid reflux forever. I'm going to try ACV before meals and see how that goes. I think the main culprit for me is being overweight. I've noticed when my weight is more in the average bmi range I don't need the antacids. So until I lose the weight I'm hoping the ACV can keep things under control.
Great helpful video, more helpful than 99% of the doctors I've seen in my life. Thanks
half an hour lunch break...if you chew the food 30 times you wont have a job...but very good stomach acid
lmao ! omg you READ my mind. that's exactly what i was thinking! i hardly have time to chew smh
I just chew super fast 30 times. Would that count
it should take some 10-15 minutes to finish a meal. I chew well and get all my food down between that time
Oh, great, advice,Boss.
if you have to eat quickly then chew gum after. It's all about getting the right balance of digestive juices. Saliva is one part of the digestive process.
I'm always in awe when you talk .. So much knowledge!! 👍🏾
Dr. Axe, Thank you. Your teachings have been of great help. We need more people like you in the world. Keep up the good work.
Dr. AXE YOU ARE AWSOME!!! THANK U FOR ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SHARING, GOD BLESS YOU
I'm 7 yrs. late on this video but very glad for the much needed information 👍
You're so precise. Thank you so much. I've been using Apple Cider Vinegar for years, but probably using too much water. Amazing how individuals with Gerd/Acid reflux disease are being told the opposite by most doctors. Wow, the issue is low acid. Thank God for you and others that truly want to help us heal :)
Starlight 2017 it is beyond aggravating... I had a gastro trying to push tums and Prilosec on me just last week 😑...
I take natural organic remedies, I'm older & diabetic. I don't want synthetic man made drugs that cause other health issues on top of whats already going on.
I was recently told by gastro doc no such thing as low stomach acid. He asked me where I heard such nonsense.
I told him he must be pill pusher for big pharma to get his free promotional vacations & kick backs.
Synthetic drugs cause cancer! And other bad health issues ..
I truly believe doctors want you to get sick just to push medicine on you and create more problems.
Leatrice_1120 I never believed that until they prescribed me proton pumps and I started taking HCL instead and my digestion improved majorly! I will never understand why they don’t test for high and low! Apparently thought too high stomach acid is very rare!
Yes they want you to be in an endless loop as recurring customers. One even suggested me to do endoscopy if I don't get better after a month of PPIs.
How can we make health insurance also pay for natural medicine.....sucks having to pay for an insurance it only helps provide relief of symptoms from Conventional Medicine. So unfair!!! God bless you Doctor for the golden info provided to us!!!!!
It's easy, stop paying taxes and pay the Medicine you choose, the state should not meddle with your health the solution is an Anarchist/Voluntaryst society
@Louis Louis It's actually stop doing something, that easy.
People need to stand up for whats right for them and get insurance to pay for the type of health care you want! It's your money that you are paying for your health. So you get to choose!.
Ha! Never will happen. The government is in bed with the insurance companies, big pharma and the medical board. There are many states that ND's can't even practice. Florida being one of them.
Thank you Dr. Axe I always enjoy your video & all very informative. Thanks,keep up the good work & may God bless you & yours.
not chewing my food enough seemed to be the cause of my stomach issues also packing too much food in at once wasn't helping since I was Intermittent fasting and trying to eat one meal a day. I think eating 2 meals a day will be a lot better for me
I thank the lord for this video it came right on time,,,,,,,this video is for me and thank you 🙏🏻 for helping people
There's a physical element to this as well, massaging the right point helps alot. Intermittent fasting, ACV before meals, probiotics and magnesium are all worth looking into
Where to massage can you explain please?
Good job man! The fasting tip is great and very correct
Thank you for this video!! Need to try all of these. And yes! My 4 yr old chews a small piece of steak like 100 times!
Just chewing my food properly has already made a difference for me, making shore each bite has gone into almost liquid form with very little solid food before swallowing, before I would just eat my food really fast with very little chewing.
This is what I need to do but I find it difficult because I'm so used to eating fast and while i'm doing things or talking etc.
A question to those who’ve managed to overcome low stomach acid-
For how long were you on Betaine HCl supplementation ?
Is there a recommended duration beyond which you shouldn’t continue it ?
Your videos continue to be so much help. Thank you so much !
thank you this video helped me heal my stomach you are a life saver im forever grateful to you doctor
DR AXE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
YOUR VIDEOS HAVE HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY.
I started taking HCL with pepsin and they are life changing! I forgot to bring them with me yesterday and ate a high protein meal and I got the worst acid reflux/stomach pain so they are definitely helping!
How often did you take it?
How's things going now?
It's a bandaid.. That's it
@@toneman8478 it really does sound like that because it sounds he cant eat without the supplements. 🙁
Doc you’re incredible awesome thanks for sharing your precious knowledge about Health.
Straight and to the point...love it!! Thank you.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar/Digestive Bitters
2. Digestive enzymes
3. Hydrochoric Acid (HCL) with pepsin.
Should we take all three steps with each meal?
Thanks Doc, you’re #1 in my books!
Great video.
Nice seeing you here Dr Paul.
😃👋
I was skeptical at first because everyone on CZcams is an expert but what you say makes logical sense so I figured I have nothing to lose. I've suffered from acid reflux for more than 15 years and two years ago it got so bad it would double me over. I would start coughing then aspirate acid into my lungs which could cause me to start vomiting. This would happen daily. My doctor put me on Prilosec. It helped but then I started putting on weight. 30 lbs in 6 months.
I ran out of Prilosec 5 days ago. Instead of buying more at $20 a box I got bottle of Apple Cider Vinegar for $6. Three days in and I can not believe the improvement! I've had only mild heartburn when I sleep which goes away with a sip of water.
If this continues to improve you have completely changed my life! Thank you!!!
I'm curious, is this still working for you?
Digital Piggy and
I take apple cider vinegar pills and HCL with pepsin and it helps!
+Digital Piggy it's after 11 months now. What is your opinion now on ACV? Do you still recommend that? Thank you.
@@nicholebraun9119 could you please tell me if you took both of ACV and betaine HCL together or separately ? Before or after meal? I just purchased bought of those pills and trying to figure out when to take both . I hope you read this message. Thanks.
3:00 HCL with pepsin, Best to be taken under the watch of a physician
take only with a meal that has protein Also take only 1 at first
3:18 if ur feeling warmness in the stomach, then you need to back it down a bit
Some people are good with 1 capsule, some up to 9
Wow I used to feel warmness in my chest area but I thought it was silent Gerd, and was very scared.
Can I take ACV and also a supplement of Probiotics? Thank you so much
I once took 30 500g hcl caps and 28 and 26 in thr same day pn previous meals lunch and breakfest and didn't feel much difference lol
@@whitevoodooman7276 your stomach must been made from steel 😂😂
Physicians never recommend these things
I can't digest veggies and end up with sour stomach the next day, doesn't go away until I get it so bad I start to throw up and I don't stop throwing up until the little piece of lettuce that I couldn't digest comes up then I start to recover. I usually get diarrhea as well. Like my body is just trying to flush everything out of my gut. the HCL does help a lot of the time but I find I need it with lettuce and then beans which are a protein like you mentioned. I clearly have leaky gut issues. working on figuring out how to heal it. I have everything else under the sun relating to leaky gut, thyroid issues I'm sure, adrenal fatigue, post partum anxiety, digestion issues, joint pain... you name it. Time to HEAL it!
Dr Axe...the number one thing to fix low HCL is fixing and stimulating your Vagus Nerve. The Vagus nerve controls HCL and digestive juices. HCL supplements are just band aids. Gastroparesis (no HCL or digestive enzymes) is caused by an underactive Vagus Nerve. Dr. Datis Kharrazian has a fantastic video and book on this
how do you stimulate it?
God bless you! dr axe I suffered for 3 years and 4 months from estomac acid reflux exteme pain unbelievable pain I tried antacids nexium, carafes, gaviscon, dexlansprazole, nothing worked,then I had acids reflux surgery linx and haital hernia surgery I still had burning the troat and esophagus and tongue and ears and burning eyes and extreme dry mouth and eyes, so I saw your video I tried your advice my estomac acid reflux is reduced greatly I use digestive enzymes , God bless you! Salam alikum! peace be upon you!
would you like to have a conversation with me about this issue pizzazz. I need help
ur can find ur complete solution both of u on justin health .take a pen and copy and completely listen his all videos from zero to end and take notes than ponder on that information and apply that information according to ur own resources m
This was excellent!!! The only thing you missed here was to include Virgin Coconut Oil into your daily routine to put the SIBO back in check as you rebuild your stomach's HCL production levels. The Manuka honey actually causes my SIBO to get worse and I use the 400+ from New Zealand. I can't even take probiotics without a bad downward spiral. But The ACV, HCL, Enzymes and Eating smaller meals all worked to bring my health back to a manageable place where I could reclaim my life. Thanks for this incredible video. You're a smart guy who knows where he's looking for the solution to a problem many get misdirected with and sucked into the expensive and never ending loop of the chronic illness this causes. Thanks again.
+KatalysstClub why take betaine hcl? Why not just take ascorbic acid which is a lot cheaper and also a strong antioxidant as well?
Are you taking histamine forming probiotic? Try a good brand of soil based probiotics like prescript assist!
Randy 3
cost too much
How do you take coconut oil do you just cook with it
love you bro. you make my day. its 2am i am feeling worse. eaten mutton. heavy stomach
bloated. . gas. and etc etc.. i have low stomach acid. i am going for medical checkup.
How are you doing now, did you recover completely. Please let me know, I'm desperate for help!
I love ACV for people who aren't histamine intolerant. Great video :)
Is Betaine HCL harmful in the longer run ? I do not find any information online. But hey, I started using it 10 days back, it’s helping me immensely for gerd, indigestion and gum bleeding
Thanks so much for sharing.
Why did the doc say I have to much acid resulting in gerd? Confused but want to feel better, glad I saw your video, please help, thanks...
Thank you Dr Axe for this video is my first time to watch kind of video this stomach acid is affecting my life, I take medication but nothing change still have that and platy of gas on my mouth I'm so sick of this needs help. Please Dr can you advice what tape of food is causes stomach acid? Because all food that I eat cause me problems same time don't eat and constipation all times I need help. Thanks Dr
Eat small portion. Chew your food properly. Maintain a time gap of atleast 4 hours between your meals. Don't drink water immediately after eating. Do fasting atleast once in a week.
HI Dr. Thanks for the video. I heard one other way to test if you have low stomach acid. Its to have 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 4 ounces of water in the morning before you eat and if you don't belch within 3 minutes, it suggests low HCI. Is this true?
up until 1 year ago, i had been taking nexium 40mg every day for 10 years!! and still getting oesaphageal reflux BAD every 3 months, when i was precribed endone to kill the pain..my gut must hate me..so angry!!!never again, doctors are NOT all theyre cracked up to be....thanks for this info Josh.
Healing, not just treating, is the question.
I learn a lot of things from you. BLESS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Thank you for taking the time to do this very helpful and informative video. I have extreme bloating, gas and GI discomfort most of the time, including when I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning. The only time I don't feel gas is when I manage to fast for more than 20 hours. This is beyond frustrating, especially since I've tried everything I can think of such as giving up dairy, gluten, legumes, nuts, fruit, raw vegetables, soy, sugar and processed foods during the past 4 years. Could the problem simply be that I don't have enough stomach acid and HCL pepsin like this video describes?
If I eat raw ginger root half-an-hour before each meal and put apple cider vinegar on my food during the meals, should this solve my extreme gas, bloating and GI discomfort?
Thank you so much! I tremendously appreciate your counsel.👫
it is that simple cus I have the same problems
Have you had a solution?
I had the same problem. I started taking HCL with pepsin. The first day my stomach was calm. I also take digestive enzymes. So thankful
@@chaunceileigh3766 Hi, have you ever take PPI?
How is it working?
Hey Dr. Axe! i have a question, does the stomach acid have to do with having oily hair and face?
My symptoms were: bloating, reflux, gasy, constipación, chest pain,... medicine prescribed by my doctor n over the counter did nothing but made things worse. The remedy? APC.. Apple cider vinegar with my lunch n dinner. And also some almond milk before going to bed.
Thanks for the amazing tips! Some uestions: can I take the manuka honey with a little bit of water or will that dilute its benefits? also, can i combine all of these tips at once or is that too much on the body? in other words, can i do apple cider/digestive bitters/HCL with pepsin, enzymes, etc in a 24 hour period? Any help would be appreciated!!!
Hey there! Great questions. Diluting manuka honey is fine. I love adding it to tea! You can learn more about uses and things to keep in mind when using manuka honey here: draxe.com/nutrition/manuka-honey-benefits-uses/?.
Thank you for all of your help. Lemon water seems to cause a lot of digestive distress and intestinal pain (not stomach pain). Do you know why this may happen? Thanks so much! HCL doesn’t cause this issue, however, when I take it with a small meal it may also cause intestinal pain. Is this possible? What is the reason? I would love to know why too much acid may cause pain in the intestines around the belly!
Same here, its mostly after the food leaves my stomach that the problems begin
Thanks! Very informative video.
The most important video.
Dr you mentioned taking 5 different things..so take all 5 or are they optional???
Great video!
I've never seen a kid chew their food properly, let alone anything close to 30 chews!
Perhaps they are fooling around with food..
🆘 I did baking soda test and I didn’t burp. I mean not at all after 5 min nor rest of the morning before my first meal. That telling me I have low stomack acid. I have bad breath, bloating and gas. I have constant pain ( I don’t feel burn) and heaviness in my chest and nothing helps. Well... when I eat it helps a little. I used HCL ( maybe dose was too high), apple cider vinegar, digestive enzymes and what not and no help. As soon I get up I feel pain and it last till I go to bed. What’s going on? I eat healthy. I become vegetarian, no sugar, no coffee, no gluten... why my esophagus hurts?! Endoscopy showed plaque in esophaguses (no candida or cancer) I was prescribed anti acid ( with no relieve or help) without testing if I have low or high stomach acid. Dr said I have gerd, silent heartburn, but I don’t have/feel heartburn and other gerd symptoms, more like indigestion. Is it possible I have environmental and/or food allergies (Eosinophilic esophagitis EoE) I don’t know about? 🆘
I've GERD since 11 years my age is 34, I tried multiple medications like homeopathy, Natural Ayurvedic medicine, Ayurveda Medicine, consulted a 3 to 6 specialist in Gastro, and did all type of scans Endoscopy, blood test, ultrasound scan, all the reports came normal, nothing worked all are temporary, still am facing same problem. I'm a healthy fitness my routine is to have only healthy meals vegetables, fruits, leaves, crushed ginger warm water every morning, I don't smoke, no alcohol, regular home work out, no coffee teas, carbohydrates drink, I get excess of burping while i sleep these days, I still raise my Pellow and sleep, morning after i awake i get burping excessively, I didn't take any tablets so far, I maintained natural remedies only, Now am planning to go far GERD Surgery - Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication what do you suggest Doctor ?
This is what I call a DAMN DR.
Yes but how long does it take to increase it to normal levels? Why no one talks about that?
You are my NEW INTEREST. I'm on a new Journey in my life. I love what you are sharing with the world Dr. Josh. You make it sound so easy----or just maybe I am ready to do exactly what it takes to receive the benefits my body needs and deserves. I like you. A lot...

Would URB Alcohol Free Swedish Bitters being that it does not have alcohol in it be better for acid reflux? Thank you
Almonds are a very inexpensive way of calming acid reflux. Their alkaline quality helps combat the acidity that is experienced and you only need to chew on a couple of them usually. Thank you for the information.
These days, because of California drought, almonds are very expensive. Some farms have gone out of business because their trees died from lack of water. You’ll want non-pasteurized raw almonds which you can’t buy in stores(US) because law requires them to be pasteurized (heated to at least 185* for a certain time, so they aren’t really raw then) but it’s legal for farmers to sell unpasteurized raw almonds to individuals. You can sometimes find raw, unpasteurized almonds from Spain in health food stores. But in any case, expect to pay$18-25 per pound no matter what.
@@patmo45 Avoid unpasteurized "bitter" almonds, however, they contain high levels of cyanide.
so if i have acid reflux dat means dat my acid level in stomach is low..! finally got the solution!
what is a safe digestive bitter to eat? thank u
Thanks Dr!how about in case I have high stomach acid?
I actually got my reflux by intermittent fasting 😪
How about aloe vera juice?
THIS IS REALLY GREAT TIPS, WILL HAVE TO TRY WITH SOME APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Thank you so much for your valuable info.
Just came here to comment that I glanced over this video title and read, "How to Naturally Steal Stomach Acid" and was totes confused for a solid 0.5 seconds.
That's my problem - I don't chew my food.
Thank you Doctor Axe. Appreciated Sir.
Spinach alone with helps, I also use cucumber, parsley, strawberries an mint with spring water, put all the vegetable an fruit in the water let it set for about 15 or so, an drink up
take care with intermitted fating. empty stomage-->less stomage acid-->lower ph
Thanks Dr Axe. This is great information. Is there anyway to tell if your problem is high acid or low acid in the stomach? Is the only way to go to a functional medicine doctor and have it tested? Or are there other ways to tell without a test? Thanks Ivana
All of my poop was floating for 2 years.. then I got celiac and the awful gas + no appetite, bloating started. But if I drink lemon juice after a meat meal my poop sinks like it's supposed to. So I have low stomach acid. Oh and my hair is falling out too.
@@sarahb.6475 Thank you Sarah. I hope you are continuing to feel better. My issue has gone away. I’m working on my metabolic state by eating a ketogenic diet heavy on meat and animal products. I’ve even feeling the best I’ve ever felt.
@@myPursesuitOfHappiness hi how’s everything going any update??what exactly where your symptoms
@@patriciajones8543 Hi Patti, I’m fine now. No issues. I still sleep on my wedge because my issue was silent reflux at night. I figured out it mostly flares up when I take Ibuprofen. I do not take it anymore. I cut most processed foods, especially seed oils, grains, sugar and carbs out of my diet. I eat mostly meat, eggs, bitter and high fat dairy. I more issues. Thanks is for asking. 😊
@@myPursesuitOfHappiness if I were you, don't take IBUPROFEN anything OTC , because that's going to mess up with your stomach , it could cause you to end up with Gastritis .
thanks doctor Axe. I am really struggling with acids reflux . my throat burnt a lot and each time I eat I feel the food coming back in my throat . please help me
Would this work if you have a weak (LES) I understand that the lower sphincter should automatically close like a senser when the stomach acid is digestion food
I think one of the best things you can to heal from Gerd is to back off the PPIs and allow the stomach to return to normal rhythm of producing acid and go smaller meals. Use zantac or a antacid when you need it.
Do you still have to eat small meals or do u eat normally now?
Chew well, after the meal, and only after, chew gum for a few minutes as it will further stimulate HCL secretion. Check it out.
Yass Dr Axe you are the real MVP
Hai doc. Please answer my question.if our body take fasting ,does our body produce acid in our stomach to add those low acid back to normal acid volume ? If does,how mau hours to take off our body produce the acid ?
I use the organic apple cider vinegar, still do. feeling so much better and my hair is growing back.
How does ACV affect the hair? I wanna try out
Ayad Hussin i guess when your stomach breaks down the foods you absorb better.
Question! Your stomach requires more acid /pepsin to digest proteins, so if you you don’t eat much meat, should you begin eating more meat in order to take the Hydrochloric Acid supplements? Would that help with stomach acid production? Thanks!
If you have a very low or no protein meal, I would think digestive enzymes would be appropriate to digest the fat and carbs. HCI and pepsin are for protein only.
Can I take ACV and also a supplement of Probiotics? Thank you so much
My husband thinks he was misdiagnosed with acid reflux and may be suffering from low stomach acid for 12 years now. Doctors have had him on Omeprazole this whole time, he having lots of stomach issues as we speak, barely can eat, lots of burping right after eating something, lately he's even been falling asleep after eating and then sweating alot...
Dr. Axe,I recently started trying Betaine HCL and found that my acid reflux is much better after taking about 2-3 capsules depending on my protein amount but I get terrible heartburn 2-3 hours after taking it, especially at night. Does this mean I'm taking too much? Any help is greatly appreciated!
someone above said that. so reduce the capsules to 1 or something
It probably wasnt enough and just wore off if you didn't get a burning sensation in your stomach. Because Ppi's(acid reducers) does the same they wear iff then ur in pain again. Only difference in taking the 2 is the Ppi's are not going to heal you and will cause more problems but the hcl is going to ease pain and heal at the same time
Totally agree with you Dr. Axe on the use of Apple Cider vinegar. Not sure about the digestive enzymes, as the quality of them is not great, I Would prefer to get digestive enzymes from food, especially rocket salad that is bitter. Totally smaller meals.
+Empowering Medicine ✪ Herbalist A GP told me to take Gaviscon (a kind of antiacid) for low stomach acid. Is that really beneficial? I have headache after taking anti-acids. I cannot drink Apple cider vinegar because it irritate my joints due to the fermentation maybe. Thanks
why would you take antacid anything for low acid. that's what causes the problems in the first place.
Yooo waddup. It's 'Ta Ten Tings' guy! :)
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "acid r" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Mackorny Cool Stomach Blueprint - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
The Mental Health Herbalist Nothing will take place of fresh food. But most of us unfortunately esp in USA do not eat well, I used to take digestive enzymes and it helped me 100%.
Beautiful advice. Thank you ❤
Hi Dr. Axe,
I’ve been taking beta one hcl with pepsin from Aspergillus niger that is from black mold
Is that safe?
I know black mold can make you very sick.
Thanks.
Bone broth really helps too. There were many days where I would wake up with a burning stomach after I took antibioitcs and I was sick with gastritis for 2 months until i started to drink homemade bone broth from oxtails and bone marrows.
Stella Ilyayev must be the all the collagen, it helps rebuild gut lining!
So interesting. Where can one get bone broth from oxtails??
.
@@lauriemtz8616 You can get soup bones from a local health food store or even the farmer's market. I bought osso bucco bones from farmers at the market this past weekend! There are many recipes online on how to make a good homemade bone broth.
Try pho soup
How to be sure I am suffering from hypoclorhydria(low stomach acid)?
Is there a lab test for that?
Eslam Al.Sheikh
I tried the Baking Soda test. The product I used has sodium bicarbonate, sodium acid pyrophosphate and starches. I belched once in a minute and did not belch again for approximately 15 minutes. What does that mean?
You always so helpfull~! Thank you.
When do you take the HCl? Before or after your meal? And, can you take it with the digestive enzymes, ACV and honey?
I take my HCL during the meal. Always make sure it's a high protein meal with at least 15 grams of protein.
