Makes sense because when I started getting acid reflux I also became allergic to alcohol and suffer from allergies. I have been trying to figure out the connection.
I had Gerd, was sooo miserable for weeks. Went to ER every night for a week, was so bad, had panic attacks and kidney stone. Had to pray and then found the videos on RUclips of Dr. Bergs. God healed me with this knowledge.
@@errolonbryant1723 when do you take it, because if you have gastritis and inflamed stomach the ACV really hurts it. I know it helps with digestion though, what do you recommend?
This video literary changed my life . I have been suffering with all this symptoms for a long time i was about to start prescribed PPI before u saw this video and rushed to Vita-shoppe to give Betaine HCL a try. I am shocked how sick i was and i dint know. The first symptom to go away for me was my peeling palms. I had asked countless doctors why my palms and sometimes feet were just peeling without any definite answer. I just want to thank you again for creating this video as this might add a few more happy years of my life. I also believe low stomach acid leads to obesity and type 2 diabetes . Thank you so much Again!!!!
I got your gall bladder formula that has betaine hydrochloride and bile salts in it. # days later I was not impressed. Three *_weeks_* later and my life has changed. I had forgotten what normal digestion was even *_like_* . Thank you soooooo much, Dr. Berg. My advice to those taking the advice in this video: be patient. It takes a bit of time for your body to adjust, but when it does, there is such a relief it is remarkable.
@@rosek8393 I think the person is talking about the gallbladder Formular of dr berg. He has his own supplements. Just type in google. I took it as well and it helped me soo much
I’m on keto diet for 3 years and I had indigestion with animal protein, I felt full , burping and uncomfortable, I had endoscopy it wasn’t Gerd , I took beta in Hcl , I feel much better , thank you so much Dr Berg , you are amazing 🤗❤️❤️
@@ajith3922 Listen to me please, the prep takens 1 hr , the test it's self takes 10 minutes , because you are sedated , but you will be okay and trust me , you want that test . I have that EGD test every 6 months , to make sure I don't get Barrett's disease or Esophageal Cancer . You have to stay Proactive and always keep up with your health .
Watched one of your previous posts on this subject and went on to do I.F. and HFLC diet, lost 5.5 stone and all my digestion issues are gone. A REALLY CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH ❤👍
Great! But keep in mind that IF depletes potassium, sodium & magnesium, and if you aren't taking those in, your weight loss could plateau. Don't let that make you give up.
Thank you. Visited the GP re: indigestion. First and only thing recommened was high acid treatment. I was low acid. This made it worse, as you suggested. It kept getting worse, and eventually they believed me that it wasn't working, and it could be low acid ( I kept saying, what about low acid, and ignored). eventually they actually had me wear some tube/measuring device for at least a 24 hour period. Low and behold, their device thingy said low acid. Went with the HCL plus enzymes, and it's been wayyyyyy better. When I run out of HCL, ACV is used. thanks for all your work Dr. Berg. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and all.
Please don't stop making these videos. I live in Canada and i have all these symptoms. You are the only doctor who's been able to solve this for me. I have been to see my family doctor and two naturopaths. You explain this so well. Thank you so much!
This information is a life saver... It is like a puzzle and we may not be able to figure out the missing piece... Thanks very much... Last visit to my doctor wanted to know what i was doing to improve my kidney function so dramaticly... And my blood pressure was excellent... My pulse no longer stays high all night also... Thanks you do not know to the extent of how much it has helped all of us out here... Take care and Keep safe
This in my opinion is one of the best explanation, summary/analysis and suggestion on healing digestive issues. Addressing the root causes. Thank you and good on your practice in helping people ☮️♥️
Dr Berg! Where were you 20 years ago ?!? I’m experiencing my third round with cancer and my digestion is the culprit ! Had tried this before, but I’m taking it again now because of your excellent knowledge -it’s just too bad that more people don’t understand ..food is definitely a part of disease and how our bodies assimilate it THANK YOU ✨✨👏🏽
So glad you saw this video here, but I have a very important question for you; May I ask what kind of cancer you’re dealing with, and would you be open to somebody telling you that you can literally cure it by switching to the ketogenic diet? 🙏🏻🧡
@@davidbrucemusicvideo Hi looping Dave ha ha ha ha thank you for your interest my dad had cancer and died at 31 it was stomach for him for me it’s breast and I have tried every diet known to man there’s some sort of enzyme I’m deficient in I’m now seeing a functional doctor for it and will undoubtedly have my second mastectomy for the remaining breast sorry for all the details but I will be so happy to be hopefully hopefully hopefully done with it after struggling for 20 years

In the video at 1:14 Dr Berg says Hypochlorhydria but the text shows Hyperchlorhydria, which means the opposite. Thanks for the great content, your information about IF and Keto have significantly improved my health.
Sometimes the transcription service or computer program transcribes incorrectly. As an example, when Dr. Berg talks about vitamin B1, it appears as Bone on the screen.
Excellent video Dr Berg! You should also reference indigestion back to your B1 thiamine deficiency videos also. And as you stated a calcium channel blocker drug can also cause this. Folks should also consider taking a calcium lactate supplement. The gastrin cells need calcium to produce hydrochloric acid
I love ACV! I take 1 tablespoon in 4 oz of lukewarm Fiji water with a splash of lemon juice first thing in the morning and right before bed. Works beautifully for me!
Dr Berg, thank you so much, this is very important, I have low stomach acid, do to it being low, I created a stomach that was inflamed, I healed by juicing Red Cabbage juice and Celery juice, taking HCL., I am seventy-five, looking back, I have had these symptoms for a long time. Thanks to your gut videos, I am on the path to healing, thank you again, you are a blessing and a prayer answered.
I'm telling you, every lesson we're being taught here always seems to bring us back to the minerals. A lack of minerals seems to be at the crux of so many ailments and diseases. Our soil has become so depleted of these essential minerals that we need. Is there any wonder that the prevalence of disease is so high in this country? 🤔
I watched your video sir about 8 months ago when i had GERD and Acid Reflux symptoms after antibiotics use for UTI. And even after 20 days of use antibiotics my UTI Don't went then lucky i watch your UTI video and BOOM!!! After some days i watched your Heartburn video and i decided to not go doctor and buy a HCL supplement and again BOOM!!! Now after some time bcz of overuse of Apple cider vinegar i droped my potassium levels and feel weak,high insulin and other problems like not satisfied after eating a meal. Then i watch your video on Potassium Luckly and Again i want to Say BOOM BOOM!!! I stopped using ACV. And now i feel belching and burping after eating fatty meals I can't able to digest Fats I watched your video on Gallbladder and Bile and What you Guess BOOM BOOM AND BOOM!!!. I figured out why my bile is decrease. You will Laugh Dr. Berg reason was i was eating to Sweet Potato and Walnuts together (High Sugar and High Fat) to lower insulin but it spikes too way I watched your video on this topic also. And now i have Allergies also Food and Environmental like Dust mites and Grass. I decided to followr your recent video instructions to Allergy like Probiotics, Intermittent Fasting, and Vitamin D (10,000-20,000 IU). I want to say you are just a God Like Saver for Many people.❤️❤️❤️. Lots of Love to You and Your Family. I am from India and want to meet you one day. ❤️❤️
@@dsmr3297 i would google the two keywords circadian rhythm and gut health or gut microbiome/microbiota. Gonna say it's possible. Not a doctor, didn't even study to become a doctor. Just some guy on the internet with a lot of spare time spent on watching people who are more knowledgeable and used that to get back in good condition after years of numerous conditions. As blue light is the concern, you could get blue light blocking glasses, avoid phones or computers at night (or use night mode)
I Will attribute my indigestion to a high carb and refined foods diet because ever since I've been on a keto diet (1 yr.) I haven't experience bloating or indigestion, not once! I'm 64.
Heartburn is a sign of low stomach acid also. People tend to think the opposite. If you want to cure low stomach acid make yourself ginger pickles and eat a few with your meals for awhile and it will fix you right as rain. I once had gerd and heartburn.
@@vinothinijawahar6938 I don’t know, I just ate them with every meal until it went away. I don’t think it took a long time. Maybe like a week or two at most for me.
I don't know how you knew, Dr. Berg, but I've been researching how to fix these issues!! Thank you so much!!! I love your videos!!! Easy to understand how you explain everything!!! THANK YOU, DR. BERG!!!!!!😊💕*
Years ago i was getting heart burn everyday . I started taking ACV with mother organic 3 times a day . After 10 days the heart burn went away and stayed away .
Hashimoto Thyroid is associated with a low acid stomach. I absolutely HATE Medical Doctors! I suffered my entire life. Had ALL the symptoms but it didn't show up on their inefficient tests. At 55 I was a wreck. Following Dr. Berg has slowly given me the health I never had. At 59 I'm experiencing what feeling whole and good is like!
I have hypothyroidism and just found out that it causes low stomach acid. Do you have any tips that can help. Been taking HCl for a while but it's not helping. Maybe I need to take alot more.
A big THANK YOU doc you're a blessing . I used to have acid reflux gout and hypertension and big belly .. Now im good shape can do basketball with half of my age you extend my life
excellent explanation as usual. Given the way the world is today diagnosing ones symptoms accurately is 50% of the battle. The 10 mins allocated for a GP visit is only enough time to encourage prescriptions for pills rather than getting to the nub of the problem. I wish there were options to ask you questions! Thanks for taking the time to upload so many useful videos
@@Drberg dr berg , I been watching you for over 10 years . I am trying to figure out how to fix low stomach acid. Congrats on your 11 Million Subs / Viewers . You have came along ways know you are doing much better .
Thank you for making everything so clear in a short period of time... So many “vid peeps” have to give some story or sales pitch before explaining... Dang it, I JUST NEED THE DETAIL OF THE CONDITION AND THE “Remedy... OK.. so YOU ROCK‼️‼️👍👍👍
took Betaine Hydrochloride, no more pain after meals, thank you dr berg, GP wanted to take X-rays of gall bladder and said pain was caused by stress, Question ....why do we lose acid in stomach when we get old?
So glad this video was posted been telling friends this for 10 years. Prolonged use of Antacids can cause serious disease!I can now send them this vid :). I takes enzymes before meal hcl at end my digestion is great but never used to be.

@@hanknelson3231 Ahhh now I get it , by taking what you stated “ purify “ the meat content in the colon. I though it was a misspelling . Whoops Sorry . Ps I’ll remember this now as I start to eat red meat , which was never my thing. Could never understand the excitement of eating steaks or pork. 🙈
Doc you are a life saver, my story starts with a typical way, have some heartburn and medication. Medical doctor describes antacids and few years ahead, condition gets worse; anemia type symptoms digestion problems, intolerances for dairy, gluten, sugar etc. pains and aches. Found your work and started to take some apple cider and hlc, still having issues to sort out but less and i can eat a bit now
@@Drberg Dr B can you pls do a video on the difference between ACV, digestive enzymes and HCL? I use the former two and they seem to do wonders for indigestion. Not sure if I should spend any more $ on HCL. When would you use which one?
I am so glad I came across his channel. I was having such bad issues with digestion, I even had Acid reflux about three months ago. With that gone I had shortness of breath because I took omeprazole. Just found out from his videos that I have low stomach acid and potassium. Now I feel so much better after potassium supplements and ACV.

@Ivette mona stomach has acid in it when u have low acid u cannot digest the food well nd cause gas nd bloating.. omeprazole nd antacids suppress the current low acid just like a band aid, it only supress the symptoms.. once u leave the medication u will feel horrible again along with b12, calcium magnesium potassium deficiency.. the doctor tells u to take omeprazole for longest time possible.. when u take ACV the stomach acid will increase and will help the stomach to digest the food properly instead of suppressing the symptoms..
@Ivette mona may be u have low acid.. i was also prescribed omeprazole and hcl with methycobal i took it for 2 months but no relief.. before that i took antacids which for a little time provided relief but when u leave antacid its the same situation and also my joints started to make cracking sound.. a pharmacist showed me a chart that said how different meds lead to certain vitamin deficiencies. . Then i started acv and cumin water and other diet changes with b12 and calcium magnesium supplement i was alot better and even normal..
I am recovering from brain surgery, meningitis an septic shock . I had anti acids and lots of pills , I’ve been swollen n painful stomach for 15 months . I’ve had a positive sibo test done private . I think this is the problem. Thank you .
Can you do a video or do you have one about this in children??? My non verbal son I swear to God this sounds like the missing clue! We've been from one specialist to another, er after ER, PCP new every year, nobody has mentioned this. But it ABSOLUTELY FITS.
It helps to stop mixing so many different foods, learn proper food combining! When you stop to think about it we really pour a lot of stuff in the stomach that don’t mix! Fruit and meat? Fruit and greens absolutely!
@Pippi Bernstein I been a vegetarian for 26 years! I find it hard to believe that the body won’t make bile without animal fat, I had 5 children all vegetarian since birth and no bile problems. Maybe your situation was unique to you
My sinus issues being resolved were a mystery until I found this video. I have been following healthy keto and IF as set forth by the good doctor here. Now I switched to his supplement line and two years in I could give my 25 year old self a run for his money. Thanks Doc!
I got indigestion symptoms and my doctor prescribed me ppi for 2 months and it became worse. Turns out a hcl with enzymes supplement is all I need to feel comfortable again after eating.
I have been getting strange allergy reactions, indigestion, sinus issues, heart burn, NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, dry mouth/ tongue (candida?) and it gets so bad taht I almost call the ambulance because I cannot breath sometimes. The doctors said I have stomach bacteria and I took strong anti biotics, and now that stuffed me up more. 😭😭😭. I am so lost.
I would always use antacid not knowing i was making matters worse. 😣😣😣 the cause is hormonal, i get it around ovulation and menstruation period. So now i use ACV before i eat
I drink a couple ounces of strong lemon juice (natural or from concentrate strait from the bottle) every morning about an hour before I eat. I have almost no stomach trouble when I do this.
Awesome knowledge and experience you have Doctor . I am facing bloat badly since 2 days. I just take betain HCL it goes away in few minutes. Whenever i goes to doctor he suggested me to take antiacid. But i am already following you i don't take it.
This guy is amazing- changed my life - my keto journey has been quite good , a few nauseous moments during fasting cured by eating- insulin levels are low, don't feel hungry, list a ton of weight in 2 months, feeling good, no cravings or anything- amazing feeling! Thank you Dr Berger for your guidance- you are amazing.
I struggle with low thyroid and major fatigue,brain fog.I am low in so many minerals and vitamines. Can food poisening years ago lower my stomach acid?? I also got mercury toxicity and I know that also lowers stomach acid. Keep going dr.berg!🙌
I have low stomach acid and was recently diagnosed with H Pylori, ulcers, and the lining of my stomach is ate away, Never did i report any indigestion,(only when pregnant)I was prescribed antibiotics and a potent antacid, never in my life did I feel the acid burn in my throat like I did when I took the antacid, I was told to continue with it second night same felt like I drank acid! I stopped taking it, wondering if I have low acid why an antacid? Didn’t make sense to me at all, I purchased some slippery elm and other herbs, and I’m mending myself, it’s sad Drs do not listen and it’s a one size fits all medication 😡 thank you for this, now on to watch the ulcer video
I think I might be in the same boat, I got given omeprazole, but the last 4 weeks I’ve been so bloated, no appetite, full up after a few bites, just feel terrible, and I think I might have low acid.
I was diagnosed with this in 2012 it destroyed my fur big time took 3 lots of medication 3 lots in the same year to eradicate it, now I struggle with gluten, so recently cut it out my diet take place probiotics and just ordered betaine to see if my bloating is caused by low stomach acid as I've suffered from gastroenteritis and gastritis, have u healed ?
@@nitishkr7792 start with one pill. Make sure you eat food. Don't take them on an empty stomach. If you take one in the middle of a full meal and you feel burning, you have enough acid. If you feel nothing different, you can increase by one pill each time. Space them throughout your meal. If you feel burning back off by one pill, over time you may find you need less and less. That is, if low stomach acid is your problem. If there is a lot of burning and it won't go away with just eating more food. You can use a little baking soda mixed with water and sip on that to neutralize the acid.
My doctor put me on a PPI when I should've been on anti-stress and an easily digestable diet for a while. I was in a stressful period of my life and my stomach acid was low and so was my stomach's mucosal barrier. I was getting heartburn for the first time in my life so they figured I had too much acid. turns out it was too little so the LES wasn't closing. It got to the point where no matter how much I chewed my food it was always showing up in my stool. I had cold hands, cold feet, VERY poor blood circulation, NO ENERGY, etc. It was awful. And I had massive brain fog any time I ate. Well I stopped using the PPI and my acid has returned to low instead of NONE, which is a lot better.
A doctor should only put you on ppi’s for up to 6 weeks otherwise ppi’s will start causing low stomach acid. True. I had gerd and was put on them for too long. Again ginger pickles cured me.
@@knitwits1903 pickles or ginger? I'm interested because I am struggling with this,and noticed Grillos pickles(a brand) seem to help and ginger dressing from Japanese restaurants help also, please let me know 🙏 thank you❤
I really want my digestive system to return to normal. I've a feeling that low stomach acid could be a huge factor in the constant abdominal pain and discomfort. Also i developed SIBO and an ulcer. I'm hoping taking ACV and digestive enzymes will eventually clear up these issues🙏
@@ronnieronque108 yeah, I've heard it can be good. But it's very restrictive and research shows a more diverse diet is actually better for our gut health than one that eliminates so many of the food groups.
Love your site so much and have purchased many of the supplements from your site. The very Hardest part for me has been coming up with a meal plan. The keto advice and limiting meals has really helped but struggling to find a menu For a working person.
I believe I have silent acid reflux. I was spitting almost every second to the point where my lips were really red and dry! I am waiting for my GI appointment, but recently I am taking apple cider vinegar and the HCL pills, and my spit is slowing down. I hope I can fully recover from this naturally! Anyone else spitting up their stomach acid alot?
I occasionally did during inactivity and found my lats were super tight despite stretching, and gave me anterior pelvic tilt. This also tightened my rib cage and affected my breathing/ ability to diaphragmatic breathe. I never had GERD symptoms before that. I’ve also lost my delts to stabilise my shoulders and triceps. But on the side I successfully loosened I can breathe better- still working on the other. See if your rib cage and anchoring muscles are tight.
@@samanthamunoz6874 lol the way I just explained it. You’d know if your breathing either in or out is reduced or takes more effort. There are full range lay stretches you can look up here as the lats also elevate the rib cage when you breathe and can’t when they’re tight. The stretch needs to be from back of humerus right down to the pelvis.
I have struggled with indigestion for as long as I can remember. I tried everything from high Fibre diets, exercise, senna leaves, apple cider, coffee, enzymes, green tea, even keto. All of the above would get me going for a day or two and then my body would just become immune or indifferent to it. Even being on keto for a year now made little difference. Until THIS. I can't even remember the last time I went and felt like I had a COMPLETE bowel movement ( tmi I know sorry). Thank you so much!
Hi Yasmin, can you please share what did you do exactly to help/fix your situation? I struggle with IBS-C (bloating, inflammation). I do Intermittent fasting 16:8. Tried many other things but not quite finding the right fix. Thank you 🙏🏻
HCL is very good, combined with digestive enzymes as they work even better to break down your food. I suffer from hypochloryhdria and slow gastric emptying but also have damage to my stomach lining. The key is trying to control the inflammation which can be caused by the low stomach acid, this is when foods begin to ferment in the stomach causing and acid like response ( acid reflux ) apple cider vinegar can help rebalance the PH of your stomach but also be careful as this could delay gastric emptying. Ideally if you have damaged to the smooth muscle or lining you would really need to be careful of with the type of foods you are consuming , lean proteins are good, not too many refined carbs or fried foods. Also looking at the GI index of your food it will help you determine how fast your food is being digested, this plays a big role in the production of acid. Hope this helps some.
Absolutely ....thank you, you are helping me ...I'm off to learn more about the glycemic index so I can eat foods which require easier digestion. Thanks again
@@damianwhite9384 Thank you sm.. I'm suffering alot ...I took betaine HCl I feel burning sensation at the count of 13 but I can't take to much bcs my stomach is so sensation after the I took 13 I feel sick nauseous I feel burning in whole abdomen..Any suggestion how much dosage I should take?

Dr Berg thank you, I really enjoy the information you share!!.. This is an odd request, but if it’s possible for your marker to not make that squeaking noise on the board, that would be awesome! Sorry, it’s just hard to enjoy listening with that squeaking noise, that my nervous system or something is hypersensitive to.
I took Nexium for nearly 10 years after my reflux worsened. After I began Keto in March 2020 at the start of our first lockdown I have lost nearly 20 kilos (44 pounds) and my reflux is gone.
Hi, I’ve been having Neksium for 10 years too and having really bad bloating, belching and gas, almost everyday - despite having these antacids. What exactly worked for you?
Always thought i had to much acid but now know i haven't enough. This is me gas, indigestion but i do have Hiatus Hernia so that causes problems as i get older.
i went on this diet last year which restricted me to eating rice for only one time a day. it lasted me for about 6-7 months in which i lost a lot of weight, and that i felt good about :) afterwards i came to realize my diet wasn't healthy and sustainable AT ALL, i know you'd probably say "why couldn't i realize sooner" ?! i was too blinded by the fact i was losing weight. and i admit it made me felt happy being able to fit in my older clothes. anyways i started going on a calorie deficit, after realizing the many things i've been doing wrong (which also meant increasing my calorie intake). it was chill for a few weeks, but a little while after i started feeling some symptoms, i started feeling gassy. every time I would lie down my stomach would start growling. after a normal meal i would always feel bloated and burp all the time. it feels like it's been AGES since i had a normal poop. it felt like the food wasn't going down completely. i would rarely feel hungry and i always get full easily. i also couldn't wear tight clothes bc of the discomfort i feel in my stomach. when ppl ask me to describe it, all i can say is that "i have slow digestion". bc i cant rly tell if its acid if im not tasting anything bitter or feeling heartburn issues etc. it's been bothering for me these past few months already, i feel like the doctors aren't taking me seriously either, they only tell me to change my eating habits and to exercise regularly but i feel like nothing is happening 😭 my anxiety is worsening and i feel hopeless. i just want to eat normally again. i'm just 18 lol and i feel like ive alr ruined a lot at this point. if anyone has some advice pls do share them w me :)) it's ok if it sounds harsh as long as it helps. im willing to listen to anything, really. and if you've made it up to here, thank you i guess.
Thanks to Dr. Eric Berg for the great ADVICE for people with digestion issues, If you don't have a healthy stomach, your body will completely be messed up
He got to mention over eating as a factor for indigestion, bloating, belching, etc especially when we get older and not getting enough exercise. I no longer over eat and I measure out my food. This helps along with probiotics and lactic acid foods. Leave conventional medicine alone and go wholistic
Dr. Berg as my stomach is suffering with inflammation do you recommend continuing with Betainehydrochloride pills and ACV? I do not experience inflamed stomach when I sleep. Thanks hope you can help.
I was shocked when u said allergies and sinus issues stem from low acid that was a wow moment for me thank u so much.
This is me
Sounds like me!!
Or it can be vice versa..I have low stomach acid from sinus discharge going down my throat at night which neutralizes the stomach acid
Yes, I suffered for 6 years with sinus problems and insomnia before I discovered low acid was the problem
Makes sense because when I started getting acid reflux I also became allergic to alcohol and suffer from allergies. I have been trying to figure out the connection.
Every video you post helps me learn something new about my self
A simple thing I've tried and has worked tremendously is slowing down my eating by chewing longer. Simple but very effective for me. Its also free ✌🏻

Thanks for all the videos. My chiropractor gave me Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin, and it helps with my digestion.
Thank you.
Visited the GP re: indigestion.
First and only thing recommened was high acid treatment.
I was low acid.
This made it worse, as you suggested.
It kept getting worse, and eventually they believed me that it wasn't working, and it could be low acid ( I kept saying, what about low acid, and ignored).
eventually they actually had me wear some tube/measuring device for at least a 24 hour period.
Low and behold, their device thingy said low acid.
Went with the HCL plus enzymes, and it's been wayyyyyy better.
When I run out of HCL, ACV is used.
thanks for all your work Dr. Berg.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, and all.
Hi, how is it going now, are you still on HCL?
How did you fix Low Stomach Acid ?????? What exactly did you take ? THank you .
Please don't stop making these videos. I live in Canada and i have all these symptoms. You are the only doctor who's been able to solve this for me. I have been to see my family doctor and two naturopaths. You explain this so well. Thank you so much!
Please keep all information coming Dr. Berg. Your knowledge has helped me and my family tremendously. I love my food enzymes. Thank you so much!!

Apple Cider Vinegar is a great substitute- thanks BERG!!
You bet!
It's Doctor. Dr. BERG
For low acid or high?
Also probiotics, people that use too much antibiotics usually have these symptoms killing off good gut flora and they wonder why.
How and when 2 take ACV
I am taking it right now and it has decreased the symptoms a lot. Caughing also decreased. Thank you dr!
Dr Berg! Where were you 20 years ago ?!? I’m experiencing my third round with cancer and my digestion is the culprit ! Had tried this before, but I’m taking it again now because of your excellent knowledge -it’s just too bad that more people don’t understand ..food is definitely a part of disease and how our bodies assimilate it THANK YOU ✨✨👏🏽

In the video at 1:14 Dr Berg says Hypochlorhydria but the text shows Hyperchlorhydria, which means the opposite. Thanks for the great content, your information about IF and Keto have significantly improved my health.
So I take it the "hypo-" is correct.
Sometimes the transcription service or computer program transcribes incorrectly. As an example, when Dr. Berg talks about vitamin B1, it appears as Bone on the screen.
Excellent video Dr Berg! You should also reference indigestion back to your B1 thiamine deficiency videos also. And as you stated a calcium channel blocker drug can also cause this. Folks should also consider taking a calcium lactate supplement. The gastrin cells need calcium to produce hydrochloric acid
We would have better doctors on this planet if people like you teach ..❤

@hollayevladimiroff131 what is H C L please ?
What is HCL ?
I'm telling you, every lesson we're being taught here always seems to bring us back to the minerals. A lack of minerals seems to be at the crux of so many ailments and diseases. Our soil has become so depleted of these essential minerals that we need. Is there any wonder that the prevalence of disease is so high in this country? 🤔
I watched your video sir about 8 months ago when i had GERD and Acid Reflux symptoms after antibiotics use for UTI. And even after 20 days of use antibiotics my UTI Don't went then lucky i watch your UTI video and BOOM!!! After some days i watched your Heartburn video and i decided to not go doctor and buy a HCL supplement and again BOOM!!! Now after some time bcz of overuse of Apple cider vinegar i droped my potassium levels and feel weak,high insulin and other problems like not satisfied after eating a meal. Then i watch your video on Potassium Luckly and Again i want to Say BOOM BOOM!!! I stopped using ACV. And now i feel belching and burping after eating fatty meals I can't able to digest Fats I watched your video on Gallbladder and Bile and What you Guess BOOM BOOM AND BOOM!!!. I figured out why my bile is decrease. You will Laugh Dr. Berg reason was i was eating to Sweet Potato and Walnuts together (High Sugar and High Fat) to lower insulin but it spikes too way I watched your video on this topic also. And now i have Allergies also Food and Environmental like Dust mites and Grass. I decided to followr your recent video instructions to Allergy like Probiotics, Intermittent Fasting, and Vitamin D (10,000-20,000 IU).

I Will attribute my indigestion to a high carb and refined foods diet because ever since I've been on a keto diet (1 yr.) I haven't experience bloating or indigestion, not once! I'm 64.
Heartburn is a sign of low stomach acid also. People tend to think the opposite. If you want to cure low stomach acid make yourself ginger pickles and eat a few with your meals for awhile and it will fix you right as rain. I once had gerd and heartburn.

Hashimoto Thyroid is associated with a low acid stomach. I absolutely HATE Medical Doctors! I suffered my entire life. Had ALL the symptoms but it didn't show up on their inefficient tests. At 55 I was a wreck. Following Dr. Berg has slowly given me the health I never had. At 59 I'm experiencing what feeling whole and good is like!
I have hypothyroidism and just found out that it causes low stomach acid. Do you have any tips that can help. Been taking HCl for a while but it's not helping. Maybe I need to take alot more.
Recently learnt fatty liver could cause hashimoto thyroid which in turn negatively affects the body in other ways. May be worth looking into!

excellent explanation as usual. Given the way the world is today diagnosing ones symptoms accurately is 50% of the battle. The 10 mins allocated for a GP visit is only enough time to encourage prescriptions for pills rather than getting to the nub of the problem. I wish there were options to ask you questions!

@Ivette mona stomach has acid in it when u have low acid u cannot digest the food well nd cause gas nd bloating.. omeprazole nd antacids suppress the current low acid just like a band aid, it only supress the symptoms.. once u leave the medication u will feel horrible again along with b12, calcium magnesium potassium deficiency.. the doctor tells u to take omeprazole for longest time possible.. when u take ACV the stomach acid will increase and will help the stomach to digest the food properly instead of suppressing the symptoms..
@Ivette mona may be u have low acid.. i was also prescribed omeprazole and hcl with methycobal i took it for 2 months but no relief.. before that i took antacids which for a little time provided relief but when u leave antacid its the same situation and also my joints started to make cracking sound.. a pharmacist showed me a chart that said how different meds lead to certain vitamin deficiencies.
. Then i started acv and cumin water and other diet changes with b12 and calcium magnesium supplement i was alot better and even normal..
I am recovering from brain surgery, meningitis an septic shock . I had anti acids and lots of pills , I’ve been swollen n painful stomach for 15 months . I’ve had a positive sibo test done private . I think this is the problem. Thank you .

Can you do a video or do you have one about this in children??? My non verbal son I swear to God this sounds like the missing clue! We've been from one specialist to another, er after ER, PCP new every year, nobody has mentioned this. But it ABSOLUTELY FITS.
It helps to stop mixing so many different foods, learn proper food combining! When you stop to think about it we really pour a lot of stuff in the stomach that don’t mix! Fruit and meat? Fruit and greens absolutely!

I got indigestion symptoms and my doctor prescribed me ppi for 2 months and it became worse. Turns out a hcl with enzymes supplement is all I need to feel comfortable again after eating.
THIS IS SO GOOD, I STARTED NOTICING I HAVE SOME SYMPTOMS SO ILL START TAKING SOME MEASURES
I have been getting strange allergy reactions, indigestion, sinus issues, heart burn, NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, dry mouth/ tongue (candida?) and it gets so bad taht I almost call the ambulance because I cannot breath sometimes. The doctors said I have stomach bacteria and I took strong anti biotics, and now that stuffed me up more. 😭😭😭. I am so lost.
I would always use antacid not knowing i was making matters worse. 😣😣😣 the cause is hormonal, i get it around ovulation and menstruation period. So now i use ACV before i eat
I drink a couple ounces of strong lemon juice (natural or from concentrate strait from the bottle) every morning about an hour before I eat. I have almost no stomach trouble when I do this.
Water solves all kind of problems. :)

Awesome knowledge and experience you have Doctor . I am facing bloat badly since 2 days. I just take betain HCL it goes away in few minutes. Whenever i goes to doctor he suggested me to take antiacid. But i am already following you i don't take it.

I have low stomach acid and was recently diagnosed with H Pylori, ulcers, and the lining of my stomach is ate away, Never did i report any indigestion,(only when pregnant)I was prescribed antibiotics and a potent antacid, never in my life did I feel the acid burn in my throat like I did when I took the antacid, I was told to continue with it second night same felt like I drank acid! I stopped taking it, wondering if I have low acid why an antacid? Didn’t make sense to me at all, I purchased some slippery elm and other herbs, and I’m mending myself, it’s sad Drs do not listen and it’s a one size fits all medication 😡 thank you for this, now on to watch the ulcer video
I think I might be in the same boat, I got given omeprazole, but the last 4 weeks I’ve been so bloated, no appetite, full up after a few bites, just feel terrible, and I think I might have low acid.
I was diagnosed with this in 2012 it destroyed my fur big time took 3 lots of medication 3 lots in the same year to eradicate it, now I struggle with gluten, so recently cut it out my diet take place probiotics and just ordered betaine to see if my bloating is caused by low stomach acid as I've suffered from gastroenteritis and gastritis, have u healed ?

So you have to keep using it? ... Dr. Berg said after 3 weeks it should build up again ...
How much to take initially ??
@@nitishkr7792 start with one pill. Make sure you eat food. Don't take them on an empty stomach. If you take one in the middle of a full meal and you feel burning, you have enough acid. If you feel nothing different, you can increase by one pill each time. Space them throughout your meal. If you feel burning back off by one pill, over time you may find you need less and less. That is, if low stomach acid is your problem. If there is a lot of burning and it won't go away with just eating more food. You can use a little baking soda mixed with water and sip on that to neutralize the acid.

My doctor put me on a PPI when I should've been on anti-stress and an easily digestable diet for a while. I was in a stressful period of my life and my stomach acid was low and so was my stomach's mucosal barrier. I was getting heartburn for the first time in my life so they figured I had too much acid. turns out it was too little so the LES wasn't closing.
It got to the point where no matter how much I chewed my food it was always showing up in my stool. I had cold hands, cold feet, VERY poor blood circulation, NO ENERGY, etc. It was awful. And I had massive brain fog any time I ate.
Well I stopped using the PPI and my acid has returned to low instead of NONE, which is a lot better.
A doctor should only put you on ppi’s for up to 6 weeks otherwise ppi’s will start causing low stomach acid. True. I had gerd and was put on them for too long. Again ginger pickles cured me.

Anyone else spitting up their stomach acid alot?
I occasionally did during inactivity and found my lats were super tight despite stretching, and gave me anterior pelvic tilt.
This also tightened my rib cage and affected my breathing/ ability to diaphragmatic breathe.
I never had GERD symptoms before that.
I’ve also lost my delts to stabilise my shoulders and triceps.
But on the side I successfully loosened I can breathe better- still working on the other.
See if your rib cage and anchoring muscles are tight.
@@rachkate76 how?
@@samanthamunoz6874 lol the way I just explained it.
You’d know if your breathing either in or out is reduced or takes more effort.
There are full range lay stretches you can look up here as the lats also elevate the rib cage when you breathe and can’t when they’re tight.
The stretch needs to be from back of humerus right down to the pelvis.

I have struggled with indigestion for as long as I can remember. I tried everything from high Fibre diets, exercise, senna leaves, apple cider, coffee, enzymes, green tea, even keto.

Bloating, belching, burning, flatulence immediately after meals👍
HCL is very good, combined with digestive enzymes as they work even better to break down your food.
I suffer from hypochloryhdria and slow gastric emptying but also have damage to my stomach lining. The key is trying to control the inflammation which can be caused by the low stomach acid, this is when foods begin to ferment in the stomach causing and acid like response ( acid reflux ) apple cider vinegar can help rebalance the PH of your stomach but also be careful as this could delay gastric emptying. Ideally if you have damaged to the smooth muscle or lining you would really need to be careful of with the type of foods you are consuming , lean proteins are good, not too many refined carbs or fried foods. Also looking at the GI index of your food it will help you determine how fast your food is being digested, this plays a big role in the production of acid. Hope this helps some.

Me too
To make HCL we need: salt, potassium, vitamin C, zinc and in another videos he says B1 too. I read vitamin D is necessary too.
I took Nexium for nearly 10 years after my reflux worsened. After I began Keto in March 2020 at the start of our first lockdown I have lost nearly 20 kilos (44 pounds) and my reflux is gone.
And no more nexium, I'm guessing?
I’ve been telling people to get off nexium.. I was on it for 5 years and it’s taken a year to be off them to feel a difference but it was worth it
What about people who have just the right body weight? can they go on keto too?
Hi, I’ve been having Neksium for 10 years too and having really bad bloating, belching and gas, almost everyday - despite having these antacids. What exactly worked for you?
Great video....thank you so much😇🏆
Always thought i had to much acid but now know i haven't enough. This is me gas, indigestion but i do have Hiatus Hernia so that causes problems as i get older.

i went on this diet last year which restricted me to eating rice for only one time a day. it lasted me for about 6-7 months in which i lost a lot of weight, and that i felt good about :) afterwards i came to realize my diet wasn't healthy and sustainable AT ALL, i know you'd probably say "why couldn't i realize sooner" ?! i was too blinded by the fact i was losing weight. and i admit it made me felt happy being able to fit in my older clothes. anyways i started going on a calorie deficit, after realizing the many things i've been doing wrong (which also meant increasing my calorie intake). it was chill for a few weeks, but a little while after i started feeling some symptoms, i started feeling gassy. every time I would lie down my stomach would start growling. after a normal meal i would always feel bloated and burp all the time. it feels like it's been AGES since i had a normal poop. it felt like the food wasn't going down completely. i would rarely feel hungry and i always get full easily. i also couldn't wear tight clothes bc of the discomfort i feel in my stomach. when ppl ask me to describe it, all i can say is that "i have slow digestion". bc i cant rly tell if its acid if im not tasting anything bitter or feeling heartburn issues etc. it's been bothering for me these past few months already, i feel like the doctors aren't taking me seriously either, they only tell me to change my eating habits and to exercise regularly but i feel like nothing is happening 😭 my anxiety is worsening and i feel hopeless. i just want to eat normally again. i'm just 18 lol and i feel like ive alr ruined a lot at this point. if anyone has some advice pls do share them w me :)) it's ok if it sounds harsh as long as it helps. im willing to listen to anything, really. and if you've made it up to here, thank you i guess.
Slow digestion means low stomach acid. Did you find a solution such as taking apple cider vinegar or anything?
Very helpful information.
Hey thanks! Appreciate that.

Does Apple Cider Vinegar help modify the "PH" to a more acid environment in the stomach?
In my experience apple cider vinegar dose help,just take it before or after your meal and see maybe it works for you too .
@Glenn Beck acv can be 3 or less ph. Stomach 1-3.
Betaine hydrochloride acid does- ACV is good but pretty weak.
@@Arbil1950 you take it before meals not after.
It’s bile salts that you take after eating.
@@rachkate76 hi, can I use both? HCL before meal and bile salt after meal?
I had LPR +associated post nasal drip +chronic dry cough for 5 months . I recently tried oregano tea and it fixed my cough +LPR in 2weeks
Thanks to Dr. Eric Berg for the great ADVICE for people with digestion issues, If you don't have a healthy stomach, your body will completely be messed up
So true !!
100 percent
so so true sadly.
He got to mention over eating as a factor for indigestion, bloating, belching, etc especially when we get older and not getting enough exercise. I no longer over eat and I measure out my food. This helps along with probiotics and lactic acid foods. Leave conventional medicine alone and go wholistic
Dr. Berg as my stomach is suffering with inflammation do you recommend continuing with Betainehydrochloride pills and ACV? I do not experience inflamed stomach when I sleep. Thanks hope you can help.
I am watching your videoes as I have stomach issues and I still have no idea whether I have low or high stomach acid... :(
