How to Naturally Treat Low Stomach Acid
Рет қаралды 668,978
Күн бұрынFor more info: draxe.com/low-...
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-ste...

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!*

@@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

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.

I was skeptical at first because everyone on KZfaq 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 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.👫

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.

Water is already alkaline @ PH neutral 7. But, particularly in the case of low stomach acid, the PH of the stomach is high. So regular water, let alone water with a high PH, will just cause more bloating & reflux. Some tricks I discovered to acidify my water are; lemon juice, a couple ACV tablets, or even taking a probiotic on an empty stomach. Water is essential for producing stomach acid, but drinking it @ room temp about 1/2-1hr before a meal, rather than during, can help produce acid rather than dilute it. Some say salt water is even better. *Do not do my extra "tricks" though, & double up on ACV, HCL etc., if you plan to eat a protein meal & take them with it. HTH :)

Bravo Dr Axe...you the man! Clearly taught. I testify in a court of skeptics this stuff works. Was a long road for me to figure out because I was so brainwashed in the government medical system that is very narrow and near-deaf minded, that it took me a while to figure out the FIRST doctor we should always see is a nutritionist who isn't bought and paid for by greedy western medicine profiteers! Then a general jack of all trades natural doctor as a balance...then to whatever else if a specialist is even needed. We have too many "specialists" and not enough wise general practitioners! Also I noticed that drinking malt liquors and wheat/micro brew beers (and I so crave them, lol), just occasional social smoking, and eating processed whole and enriched wheat products were also noticable irritants for the reflux and stomach acid when it was at worst. I had to cut those out until my gut was entirely healed and then could partake every couple of months and be okay with no problem. Don't take the stomach acid suppression pills and antacids until your test your stomach acid because my lack of acid was the root problem for 16 years. A 4-week diet change, some minor fasting, and cheap supplements and a little added stretching and exercise made it be gone and I feel 50x better. You don't need the supplements (enzymes, betaine hcl, vitamins/minerals) but they did help my recovery because let's face it... it's hard to eat healthy in our fast and greedy culture. If you can eat out of the organic isle for a month and eat mostly raw stuff, drink clean nutritional liquids, and eat natural probiotics you'd likely have the same effect.

The next day when your stomach is bothering you and you've been drinking water correctly for at least 24 hours, mix 1 heaping tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and drink it. If you feel better within a few minutes you have Low Acid. If it burns a lot and keeps bothering you, you have excessive acid. Either one can be treated by water intake and fiber cereal or oatmeal twice a day...give it a couple of weeks. I drink a heaping tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar everyday at some point. Do it twice daily, at first, if you figure out you have Low stomach acid. Then go to 1 tablespoon once daily after a couple of weeks.
