1. Burping/bloating 2. Heartburn, acid reflux or Gerd, 3. Indigestion, or digestive discomfort 4. Nausea 5. Signs in poop 6. Loss of appetite OR 7. Constant hunger 8. Low energy

I literally burped hundreds of times every day. I told my Dr. He just stared at me like I was a specimen in a jar. 😣 Eventually another Dr. removed my gallbladder. I actually had a huge gallstone. 😢 You have taught me so much! I am better thanks to you. So many years of pain and discomfort that were totally avoidable! Do Dr's just not care? It is so simple, why don't they seem to know how the body works? I am learning. Thanks for being my teacher!

Omg I could cry right now !! My blood pressure has been up and down like crazy all of sudden and it happened when I had a bad acid reflux flare up and I tried talking to doctors and nurses and none of them knew what I was talking about basically saying it was unheard of to have elevated blood pressure from reflux. Thank you so much for posting this !! I thought I was going crazy. This was confirmation that I was right about it being my reflux.

This channel really deserves more subs. let's share with everyone

'All the cool kids are stool-gazers' . You got a new subscriber doc.

I've been aware of low stomach acid for some time now and have been adding ACV to a glass of water before meals (plus Flaxseeds already softened in water overnight and Olive Oil). However, I never realized low blood pressure is also linked to low acid. Excellent information - I now know why!

Brilliant 👏 I was going through all of these symptoms about 8 years ago and discovered I had low stomach acid. I bought Bethune HCI Pepsin Gentian bitters, within a week or so it was over. My stomach has always been my Achilles heel. It all starts in our stomach.

This is 4th video I have watched on the digestive system and low acid production with various health practitioners and the general public who has fixed their digestion without medications. It seems so simple to fix and we all need to start from the second point of digestion ( mouth being the first) to eradicate our gut issues. Well done for enlightening us :)

Excellent video! A coworker did have a subset of these symptoms. 1) Certain foods made him severely boated. 5. His stools were creamy, yet constipating, irritating, and always had a scent. 7) Always hungry. 10) Charlie horses (sign of low minerals). Great progress was made with introducing acid (e.g., apple cider vinegar, vegan betaine HCL, tangerines) when he ate. Haven't tried sparkling water, yet. His stools are now good texture, the bloating is dramatically improved, but stools need more darkening, so I watched the video on the bile flush. Challenge is he has a history of kidney stones so he avoids oxalate-rich foods like beets and spinach. Suggestions?

The best video ever! Low stomach acid gave me vision problems and headaches and many severe consequences

🤔 Interesting !!! I had duodenum ulcer many decades ago. I was skin and bones ( not anymore 😢 ) because as soon as the food hit my stomach, I had to run. Was coming back. After a while I got better, but I am ALWAYS nauseous ever since. I saw SO MANY " doctors " since, BUT this is the first time I heard the answer, so THANK YOU ! 🙏

Love the style of the disclaimer 😂😂😂

1.burping and floating 2. GERD ( not taking no meds, since sept 2020 , mine is age), 3. I am constipated because of stomach ( I know I don't have enough stomach acid ). I chew my food 50 times for each bite. 8. Low Energy :( I only have 4 issues out of 10. *Thank You TC for all your help* *This Video made me laugh , because you are funny* !! 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂

I think you’re super. I became a nutritional therapist in the 90; now retired. It’s love lay to be able to watch your videos, which are clear and concise

Thanks a lot . Very informative. My son having these problem from last 4 months. No doctor have answer

Thank you for confirming my doubt regarding low stomach acid.

This is sooo helpful... Not many videos mentioning the high BP relation to indigestion/low stomach acid... Tq so much

Thanks Man it's hard to stay alive. After meal fatigue, postpandrial somnolence... I guess this could also be a sign right? You did mention fatigue. But I see these after meal crashes are very common

Love this! Not just very clear and useful but also hilarious, love his turn of phrase and ability to make it fun.

Yup i have all the symptoms you mentioned specifically the low blood pressure thankyou for making this video

This is the most valuable YT video I've seen. Thanks so much.

Thank you I feel full for hours! And pass so much gas and it’s stinky.

Thank you so much. Been battling with these issues and now I know why.

You are so knowledgeable. I’m so glad I found your channel.

Heartburn and acid reflux are caused by low digestive enzymes; your body compensates by secreting HCl, which is what causes indigestion and eventually acid reflux.

Very informative presentation. Charming voice. 👍👍👍

This is the most encouraging video I've seen. Surely I must have low acid as I have all 10 Symptoms. I've taken Betaine HCL but only for a few days and not enough. Here's hoping an increase may help me.

Thank you so much for these informative videos ❤

You just named every symptom that I have!!!

Very well-explained and really useful information! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful! Thank you for all that information 😊

The best straight forward information I’ve heard. Good info to help! ❤

I have a very peculiar case. Gallbladder removed, fatty liver, hiatal hernia repaired, h. Pylori positive, low gastrointestinal acid, partial hysterectomy at 36, and just 2 years ago menopause finally kicked in. Possibly sibo or leaky gut. I'm 52 years old. I weight 140 pounds, 5'4". I used to be very athletic and participated in many triathlons, marathons, etc. After my hysterectomy, everything went down hill. Diagnosed with H.pylori last year, two rounds of antibiotics and my bitter mouth taste 24/7. I've tried HCL, aloe vera-ginger, L glutamine, swiddish bitters, ACV, celery juice, bone broth, no dairy, no grains, no sugar diet. Can I live a healthy live after all these issues? I don't know how to target every issue.

Thank you Sir ! Your every helpful and great to watch

Thank you!!! Love your Whole Shop Bundle!

All the signs mentioned by you I am suffering from 10 of them.

Really appreciated your humor!!!!!

I have had the chronic laryngitis thing for 30 years. I hear you had it for eight. Congratulations on beating it. Mine occurred after a bad cold I got while binge drinking in Mexico. Lost my voice then and life has sucked ever since. Socializing sucks etc etc etc. You know what I am talking about, no pun intended. Most people dont have a clue and kind of role their eyes when you whine about it then when they get a bout of laryngitis for three days they take off work and because it is so difficult to communicate but still roll their eyes when you bring it up. I was hoping I had silent reflux and apple cider vinegar would fix it but it hasn't really helped. I also tried the inhaling of a baking soda water mist to neutralize the pepsin but that hasn't really helped. Is there a good diagnostic to check if you actually have low acid? Like you, I saw dozens of doctors, ENT's. PPI's , voice therapy, etc. nothing helped. My diagnosis is muscular dysphonia by the way. Cheers! Dan

So helpful video. Thanks so much.

This is really helpful. thank you.

This is amazing. Learning so much about myself ❤

Wow thank you for this. You've answered so many questions

Omg , where have this guy been for the last 2 decades

Great info - thanks!

Love your videos

SO HOW DO YOU SUGGEST CORRECTING THE ISSUE???

Really appreciated sir God bless u always Lots of love

Thank you so much, I have learned so many things from your videos and digestive course which is helping to fix my daughter's digestive problems. I have watched almost all of your videos. All of them are very informative.

Hcl with pepsin literally saved my life.

Thanks, I have all except for #2, #6 and #7

Hi doc, i have bloating, discomfort, yellow/green greasy stool with visibly undigested food. My LDL and estrogen level are high but my HDL is low, could this be a sign of low stomach acid? Could low stomach acid effect LDL/HDL levels? I am a male who is very physically active. Btw, when i take ACV my symptoms do feel a million times better. Thanks

Thank you so much for your informative. Will taking oxbile salts help. I have no gallbladder since 10 yrs ago.

Another Great video!! 🙂👏👏🏆

Is using apple cider vinegar for increased stomach acid a good remedy

Hey, T.C.: I wonder if you might comment on the article below from functional medicine practitioner Michael McEvoy? ~~~~~ *The HCL Challenge: Why the Conventional Test is Dead Wrong* The conventional HCL challenge test involves the ingestion of Betaine Hydrochloride in order to gauge if the parietal cells of your stomach are producing adequate amounts of stomach acid. The test typically involves taking one HCL pill with food and then increasing by one per day until a burning occurs. If burning takes place at a low dose it is thought that this is because your stomach is producing adequate HCL. And if a burning occurs at a higher dose it is thought that it is due to low levels of HCL production in the stomach. The problem is that this is absolutely not what is really happening with this test. In fact, if a small dose of HCL produces burning, it is not because you have adequate HCL at all. If HCL supplements produce burning it indicates rather that your mucosal barrier is damaged! The HCL is producing burning because the acid is burning exposed tissues. Under normal, healthy circumstances, a person should be able to tolerate a lot of Betaine HCL. HCL only contains about 2-3% hydrogen. The clinical response that occurs with Betaine HCL supplementation is more due to the Betaine than from HCL! If you are experiencing burning with only 500-3,500 mg of HCL, your gastro intestinal mucosal barrier is in a state of distress. Many researchers believe that a person with a healthy mucosal barrier should be able to tolerate upto 26 capsules of Betaine HCL! People who are recommending HCL supplementation to people that having burning sensations after an HCL challenge test are only contributing to the breakdown of the mucosa. It is possible (and likely) that a person with a damaged mucosal barrier may have low levels of HCL being produced by their stomach, and have a need for more stomach acid. However, the mucosal barrier needs to be repaired first! Otherwise the implications are not good. How Can One Test for Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid)? The Heidelberg ph test is probably the most accurate way to gauge HCL insufficiency. However this test is invasive and the Heidelberg machines are not easy to find. Blood tests can identify Hypochlorhydria fairly well, especially if the chloride value is less than 100, and if the Co2 level is greater than 27. However, chloride and Co2 values also identify other variables in the body. If the person has clinical signs of HCL insufficiency (gas, bloating after eating, undigested food ins stools) and their blood test correlates, then HCL insufficiency is likely. Another way to accurately gauge HCL insufficiency is through HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis). Clinicians have identified direct correlations between the Heidelberg ph test and low HTMA values. ~~~End of Article~~~ Several years ago, I had a Heidelberg pH Test (swallowed tethered capsule that measured pH and transmitted data to doctor's laptop) and was told I had low stomach acid. The provider told me the standard alternative medicine advice to start taking capsules of HCl w/Pepsin. I was told to begin with one capsule with meals containing at least 20 grams of protein. I was told to do that for two days and if I didn't experience any warm feeling in my stomach to increase the dose to two capsules per meal for two more days. And, so on. I got up to about five capsules per meal per day with no warm feeling and I was worried about going too high and possibly causing problems. So, I spoke to my functional medicine doctor about the issue and he said "Eh, okay. You can stop taking them." His lack of interest made me wonder if he even knew what he was doing or if he was just guessing. I mean, if he really believed in the pH Gastrogram study and the HCl capsules as the solution, I thought he might try to persuade me to keep going for a while longer. But, nope. He dropped it like a hot rock. That seemed like a waste of several hundred dollars. I know Steve Wright and Jordan Reasoner (SCD Lifestyle) have the same thinking about titrating up on capsules, but I now see there's a lot of people just repeating things in the "Health" space. Actually, I think their advice was based on the advice of Jonathan V. Wright, MD of Tahoma Clinic in Washington state. From what little I know about you, I'm pretty sure you've read all the stuff I have...and, much more. I don't know if you ever experienced it, but I'm frustrated from trying to figure out just what the heck is correct. I've been dealing with a lot more serious issues (Lyme, unemployment, both types of sleep apnea, chronic fatigue, and more) and the continual searching for answers is exhausting and it drains what precious little mental and physical energy I can muster. Thanks, my friend. Sorry for the long message.

Great video 🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖

Wow! So much of this is me and has been me for years. I have gone to see countless doctors about it which has given me PTSD as they’ve all been so dismissed and unheard. May I ask when using ACV, how would I take it just before a meal, so I mix with a little water and just neck it like a shot? Just before eating?

I have all of the symptoms except the last one, and the doctors prescribed me OMEPRAZOL!

Thank you, Very helpful

I been suffering for this and now I know

Thank you it very clear explanation.

TC, If u have any of these symptoms, should u yea or nay on fermented foods like raw saucerkraut? Should I kick the raw cabbage in the nuts, if I have poor bile flow. My candida screams daily!

Thank you. I am starting Bethine HCI pepsin and custom probiotics.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have most of the symptoms except for one thing not listing: I cough white mucus and it gets worse if I don't sleep elevated. What would be the cause?

How does one actually test stomach PH?

OMG. Iam a champion 😢. I have all the symptoms

The volume is a little low. But, great information!

Thank you!

I am always hungry. Even after meals. I could never figure out my low blood pressure. And docs told me not to worry unless it is high

Some of the things he says is so bizarre but that's what makes this video fun to watch lol

❤It. Thanks for sharing informations. God Bless.

Can you please explain to me why I can eat steak and have no trouble with digestion, but when I eat grains (including gluten free) I get indigestion and reflux??? I do take HCL acid with these, which does help, but if my HCL is so low - according to your information I should not be able to digest meat easily. Like I said, I can eat meat with no HCL supplement and experience no digestive problems at all. It seems to be something more than just HCL levels alone?

Does drinking 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar in a glass of water 30 minutes before meals increases stomach acid?

Thank you sir

My question is... what are the signs of possibly too much stomach acid? I don't burp or belch. However, I have chronic diarrhea every day - would this condition be the stomach acids are so strong that my system is being flushed out? I don't feel I'm getting any nutrition and my body is breaking down. I probably should not take digestive enzymes? Thank you.

Does apple Cider Vinegar work in this case? I've been having all of the symptoms mentioned in your video.

Thank you so MUCH!!!

Holy cow, I wish I saw this video 10 years ago.

I studied eating for ur bloodtype. My bloodtype is AB and AB has low acid from the get go. I don’t use any meds for this at all. I take magnesium citrate and pre/probiotics and drink lemon water every morning.

Symptoms, Burp,bloat, heart burn, acid refux, indigestion, sign in stool( constipation) , low energy, significant craving( sugar, carbs) , imbalance blood pressure.

Thank you.

Thnx for this video ! I have 1,2,3,5,6&8 symptoms and I have MS. I wonder if I should take supplement above all others to tackle this.. ? Thank you

Hi came across your videos I just started watching I’m on my 3 day taking bile salts . I decided to watch on acid in stomach, wow I feel bloated and tired weight gain, some time I feel Nashua. Heart burn, and not always hungry can you get me on right path

I do not understand why some doctors makes us more sick...it should be a crime..Doc.keeps.prescribing my partner omeprazole now over 7 years...always have heartburn,acid reflux...now ulcer...a mess for.nothing..how pathetic...Thank you for this video.

I have all these symptoms. How about if you have gastritis.

Hi doc, is a 24/7 rumbling and very noisy stomach a symptom of low stomach acid? My stomach is never silent and I can barely digest food. I’m also always bloated and suffering from constipation as well- sometimes diarrhoea…it’s very tiring

Wow, I literally have faced all of these issues. Over the last year and a half its gotten way worse and I have to sleep elevated cause otherwise I puke bile. Indigestion and burning are bad, green stool but thats more uncommon, lower blood pressure (90ish over 60ish give or take) and more. I have been on PPIs on and off over the years and don't think they help but thats what docs keep pushing. Heck, I even have breathing issues now and my latest endoscopy showed grade A esophagitis and gastritis... Anyone have any ideas on how to get doctors more on board? I just started seeing a new GI doctor and I'm hoping the follow up from the scopes will be productive and plan on asking for PH tests in particular. Any suggestions on tests will be greatly appreciated.

My bp is regularly 90 by 40, and according to him I need more minerals. Would real salt, sea salt, in my water, give the minerals I need?

Please 1vidoe made on hypothyroidism patient

Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to your water . That will help will your acid reflux.

Thank you so much

If someone has low stomach acid will that decrease the absorption of beet flow?

I have all this symptoms..can u please help us

Good video, thanks! What if I burp and bloat, but have no acid reflux or stomach pain?

Hello what is the permant treatment?

I got 4 of those symptoms I'm dying how do I fix this

Is there a fullproof medical test to say if the stomach acid is low or high. My encologist assumed mine was too high as I had so much reflux for years. He put me on acid lowering meds and now my nutrient levil is so low that I have ridges on my nails, hair loss, lack of energy and more!
