Not every part of the body needs to be alkaline. There are some organs/parts of the body need to be acidic. Acid in stomach is needed (1-3.5 pH is required).
1. pepsin for digesting proteins
2. intrinsic factor - a glycoprotein which helps in B12 absorption - a very important vitamin - nerves, brain, memory, alzheimers, parkinsons
3. sterilizes the food, germs, bacteria, bugs, cramps in stomach, gastric issues
4. liver and gall bladder to produce bile to help breakdown fat in system.
5. acid reflux - oesophagus membrane gets destroyed by reflux. oesophagal cancer etc.
oesophagus spinchter, pyloric sphincter
6. undigested acid protein pieces force themselves into SI and irritates the lining, leaky gut and proteins enter bloodstreams, autoimmune condition - immune system floods gut. pancreas is stressed out to clear out gut. Mal absorption due to inflamed gut. Leaky gut syndrome. Bad bacteria SBIG (small bacterial intestinal growth) kicks in, gassy, bloated feeling, flatulence, bad breath, body odor, belching, low immunity, more inflammation depletes oxidants.
Remedies
1. Lemon water/apple cider vinegar 30 min before meal
2. Marinate meat with vinegar. Vinegar helps in protein digestion.
3. Freshly chopped ginger, aniseed - bishop's weed
4. coriander/cilantro - stimulates digestive acid
5. do not drink water while eating - dilutes acid. Until 30 min before and after
6. Yogurt, pickles (fermented foods) stimulate stomach acid
7. eat largest meal when you are relaxed (parasympathetic state), never eat when you are stressed. Eat largest meal when you are relaxed. Do not overeat food.
8. Avoid antacids. Bad lifestyle cannot be gotten away by antacids. Get off antacids.
9. Keep a healthy enteric nervous system.
10. More you chew the food the better. Chew food longer and longer.
Have a great day!
ACV flare up my anxiety,I wish I could because my stomach acid is low and I got so man gut issues
Thank you for the summary
Bone broth is also a must

Awesome information!! thank you, thank you so much!
Right video come at the right time. God bless you, Luke !
This was really informative !!Thank you.
Thanks 🙏🏽 for the insight ,be blessed.
Wow, amazing information. Thank you so much. I have all those problems.
Finally someone understands what is happening with my body ! Very well explained. Thank you.
This is the BEST video I’ve seen on stomach acid so far! Thank you!
Boom! Best and most concise video on the holistic level of digestion I've seen thus far...and I've watched many. Nice work Luke!
This was such a good video you’ve broken this down so well thank you so much for educating us it is much needed. I’ve been struggling with this for 2 years now and it has been a pain in my side literally 😩
No comments! Listen many times to understand the essence!
Thanks
Thank you for the video Amazing good explanation
Luke thank you very much for this extremely informative and helpful video. It has pin pointed exactly what I wanted to know. Because of all the symptoms you have mentioned , I am extremely allergic to sugar, (even cannot eat sweet fruits without getting a skin rash). But maybe by implementing your lifestyle changes and remedies things will improve. You have explained it so well. Thank you .
WOW, that was incredibly useful video. If I could like this video a 1000 times, I would. Thank you so much
Perfectly put.
wow. this is like 10 videos in one. i learned a lot of very important info in that little amount of time
Brilliant. Most helpful.
Amazing video with so much information . Husband has been diagnosed with Sibo, hope this helps.
La mejor explicación que he escuchado en relación a acido estomacal. Muy agradecida. Excelente ayuda. Muchas gracias.
Thanks luke for this great Advice
Very,very informative,thank you so much👍🙏
Excellent video and information. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you so much. Your vedio is of great help.
God Bless you
This is an incredibly helpful video
Very well explained 👏
Well said 👏
Basic is new luxury
Bang on video. Clearled it all😍😍🙏🙏
Thank you sir God bless you.
You have no idea how this info fix my life and all my health problems
WOW. This is the best video I have found so far that explains why our stomach needs proper amount of acid.
Thank you so much for the valuable information. I need to start marinating my meat with some sort of vinegar to further improve digestion. I also thank you for saying don't drink too much water while eating. The water will dilute stomach acid that is needed to break down food. I will drink drink 30 min after eating at the very least.
Immediate action:
- drink apple cider vinegar 30 min prior eating a big meal.
- use vinegar in my meat marinate.
- drink little water prior to eating a big meal.
- eat while relaxed (not while working and stressed) -- I learned this lesson the hard way :(
Thanks Dr Luke 🙏
A perfect explanation.
Fantastic, highly informative video with Correct info!
How do you know? Do you have any evidence that consuming ACV 30 mins before increases stomach acid production?
Thanks doctor , Nice information.👍
blessed easter weekend to you and your family Luke
i love the way he speak i understand clearly cause I'm no proper schooling... new subscriber.... Mabuhay....
You just described me perfectly. My autoimmune has now attacked my body which is causing alopecia. I wish I had someone like you in the US to explain all this to me. Bless you 🙏
Alopecia areata?
I feel for you .. I have alopecia universalis .... no hair at all... and this channel has the most clarity about the gut connections.... unfortunately, knowing all this may be too late for me.❤
Awesome information 💯
Wow thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Informative video👍
Nice explanation
You are just perfect 👍 but I just need more clarification about taking hcl and digestive enzymes
Thank you so much for explaning the process and the myth of acidity. I am suffering with Acid reflux since years. will make the changes you suggested.
How are you doing now
I like your step by step instructions...I had my gallbladder taken out and then I went on keto. Things were going great until my son passed away then the stress kicked me into so many gut issues. I need to get back on track my question is, in the morning can I still drink coffee, what can I drink as soon as I get up iam afraid of low blood pressure which lemon water does its what I've been told. Acid in my chest seems to be coming back up my esophagus. :( I need some help..
Awesome ❤
This was brilliant thanks
Your most welcome.
damn this is so informative and typical of people who have this doing the same thing and not getting better results
Great video. I was diagnosed with Sibo a few months ago, have constant abdominal pain and acid reflux. I am hoping low stomach acid is the problem

Good information but it seems like the question in the title of the video wasn't really answered. How to really know if you have low acid or high acid? What are the different symptoms?
Thank you sir
Please make a seperate vedio on bile reflux and gall bladder
Luke u r not too much u r three much...love adore u lot ..u r taking such topics .enhance knowledge .create awareness among ppl hata off
That’s a great word , three much !!!!!
I have all these symptoms.. Thanks doc
You mentioned not sipping on water during meals however I noticed sipping hot water during my meals helps my stomach’s motility. I guess it’s important to keep it at a very minimum.
Here is the good video on Why it is not suggestive to drink while eating
Forget about your stomachs motility. Worry about its acid!
You look to be young. As you get older you will have less and less stomach acid, and then you will really feel the need to keep your level of acid up.
If the hot sips of water with your meals are really helping & you feel better, I sure would continue if It were me. I may even try this myself. I will try anything if it sounds logical & plausible- to feel better. There are exceptions to most rules. Our body & brain chemistry is unique. What works for me may not work for you. We all want the same thing, tho- TO FEEL BETTER. I wish you good health & ease 😊
@Luke Countinho, kindly explain "anisee n bishop's wheat" mentioned at 13.
05 🙏
Guilty of poping antacids for several years. Perhaps 10 years every summer. I always had pain believeing i had too much acid during the summer for some reason.
Now i suffer like a fool.
Now i know why i thought i was having too much acid during the summers. Cause i was taking allergy medicin every summer since i was a teenager. This created iritations and pains in the stomach.
Your knowledge. 🤎
Why don’t most doctors know this??!!
THANK YOU! Where is your office? Are you taking patients?
Because they profit from drug companies to keep us on their poisons. Vicki
Hey I love your teaching but I have a question what causes the mucus to come up when am eating
This is nothing I haven’t heard before, but FINALLY, it was presented in a way that put it all together and it makes total sense! NOW I get it!
I have Barrett’s Esophagus, so I wish I’d understood this years ago- before the PPIs and the antacids. I will absolutely change my eating habits after watching this (5 times in a row). Thank you! 🙏
😊🙏
@@LukeCoutinho can I take Betain hcl instead of all these !??.. please help me sir
Exactly 🥂❤️
Hello could ajwain be used as substitute of Bishop's weed?
Hi Luke please let me know how to deal with irritable bowels. Suddenly I get a gripping and motions.
Dr. Coutinho, how can be determined if our body is more acidic or alkaline. Thank you !
I’ve no gallbladder, so is this enough to deal w my digestion? Ty.
Does ayurvedic Draksharishtam helps to gain balance in stomach acid ?
From either low stomach acid or high stomach acid.
What to do for high stomach acid?
If I have Barrett’s esophagus ( the onsets of it ) would that be from to much or to little stomach acid ?? Can anyone help me with this please
I am in the middle of a horrible GORD flare after trying plant based for a few weeks. It's so bad, constant sour taste, painful chest, pain on swallowing, cough, Laryngitis and vomiting. I really don't want to go back on ppis as it took me months to get off them (they had me on them for years!) I've no idea if it's too much or too little acid and I'm fed up, no clue what to eat anymore!
Yes I have all these symptoms, and I been taking medicine, dieting and nothing is working plz someone help !!!!
How long should someone battle heartburn, before turning to medication? And if someone needs a medication or something as needed what is safest option ?
I have low stomach acid, i have checked that with baking soda burp test continuously for three days. I am taking ACV just before my food. Its working for me. Should I take it before half an hour as you said? I am also taking betaine HCL supplement just one capsule a day in lunch time. I am having cough problem due to silent acid reflux. Its far better then before. What more i can do for my throat?
I don't know 😔
This was a great video and really helpful but i have one question. Why did it make me feel slightly better after having antacid pills?
Decreasing the acid definitely makes it FEEL better temporarily, because the acid is neutralized, so it stops burning your esophagus, BUT, that just perpetuates the problem. The goal is to INCREASE the acid, so that the valve closes tightly and the acid stays in your stomach instead of bubbling up into your esophagus.
In other words- increasing the acid in your stomach SOLVES the problem, instead of taking antacids that just perpetuate the problem.
those acidic things u talk about honestly irritate my stomach! it makes it worse
So what is the solution ?
If you have sour taste in the tongue or mouth always after eating, is it cause by hyperacidity?
Thank you as this fits with all the other research Im doing. I already have Barrett’s Ulcers in my oesophagus, and wonder if the Apple Cider vinegar or lemon water will aggravate that more. Mt enterologist put me on tabs to lower my acid but now my whole body is not getting proper broken down nutrients and it is showing. So I want to stop the tablets.
My same issue. Lemon and apple cider vinegar made my sypmtoms worse.
If I take your advice, can I start to drink coffee and tea again? A little sugar?
I did the baking soda test to see if I have low or high stomach acid . I burped in minutes . So my acid is fine as far as level . Goes but I’m having acid reflux every night even while sleeping elevated, and not eating and laying down. What’s the next step? Not trying to take the antacid route but I need some relief
Sir i think i m dealing with the same problem but i m pregnant so is not safe to take Acv so wat else i can take to maintain my low stomach acid? Or can i take Acv but which one pasteurized or unpasteurized?
I am suffering from gerd.. I had been on medicine for 1 year (dexlansoprazole 60 mg ) after stopping medicine, reflux back.
I don't understand weather its due to low acid levels or high acid levels. I have also indigestion and bloating issue. Kindly give me your suggestion.
.
If u feel hungry...meaning we are producing acid? Thanks ❤
Is there a home test that we can do ourselves to determine whether the stomach acid is actually less or is it more? Beause the symptoms are same whether the stomach acid is less or it is more.
Ive been experiencing super brittle and damaged hair, hair loss and more eczema and psoriasis breakouts the last 2 years. Low stomach acid u think? Ive also been drinking way to much caffeine.
Im now using betaine hcl pepsin tablets, that i take halfway through my big meals. Is this correct use?
I wish he would have answered you. I have the exact same problem. Eczema around my eyes, hair that is broken, dry and loss. I also have had Gerd for many years. I know there has to be a connection to malabsorption of nutrients. Vicki
Ulcer patient how to fix LSA?
I have acid reflux,and hiatal hernia. I have a lot of indigestion
I feel full and uncomfortable even when I’ve eaten very little.
Unfortunately I have gone through 4 conventional medical doctors, all prescribed PPI, no matter how I protested. Self help is the only way. Your info brings back my confidence to go back to our way.
@luke I am suffering from ulcerative colitis.. Can it be healed completely? What should I eat to heal ulcerative colitis.
I had it myself.. Take oregano for 3-4 days and then take probiotics, especially Bifido type. I am not sure if you get it in India(just the Bifido strains I mean). You also need to take a supplement, Butyric acid.

I wake up at night because what ever I eat feel like digested very fast and I my stomach starts feel empty and starts making empty stomach sounds , what is this ? High or low acids
I have another question. Coffee + H Pylori = Bad. Raja's Cup + H Pylori = ?
Happy Easter.
This may be just 17 minutes video but you have covered enormous amount of material.
If after a meal I get painful chest, can I cure this by taking apple cider vinegar?
On an iron tava, brown jeera, little ajwain & put it in boiling water. Heat well till you get a nice deep colour. Strain & have it lukewarm.
Hi what were the ingredients for your favorite digestive tea? I just heard mash ginger what were the other 2 ingredients pls?
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR & PURE GOOD HONEY
Luke, I am 70. I had diverticulitis in 2018. Admitted hospital twice in a gap of one week. I not fully recovered. Dr.told me if it aggravates it needs surgery after 2-3 episodes. I feel severe pain before motion and motion is thin and go washroom 4-5 times a day. Always discomfort in stomach. Is there any solution and treatment with you? Appreciate your response. Thanks
I tried to increase my sea salt intake it has helped me immensely with my suggestion
Organic apple cider vinegar mother Bragg's brand. It's heal your gut. It increases stomach acid it lower blood pressure good clogged arteries etc
Would like to know if you feel better now. I hope so!!
Thank you.
But how do I know, if I have to much or to little, if the symptoms are the same?
Hi I have the same question, have you figured it out ?
And are you feeling better now from reflux
I googled "test for low stomach acid", you could try that 😀 I bought a tinktur in the Health food store called Bitterstern and just started using it a few days ago.
@@solbritroseskov4410 How did those work for you ??
At 13 min I can't figure out what you say to put in the tea with the ginger, please?
Mash a piece of ginge & boil it for 10 min ..
