I am absolutely impressed. “I’m not a doctor”, but you are much more intelligent than a doctor. You educated me in such a basic way(even a 5th grader could understand), and I laugh so much throughout your videos. Now I’m going to get some betaine Hcl. I read about it before, almost purchased some but now because of your experience I am definitely moving forward. I am one of those people who became resigned to the fact that food is now my enemy and couldn’t enjoy eating anymore but just enough to survive. Such as the saying, living to eat, to eating to survive. Thank you from the depth of my heart for sharing your experience and then to help others. God bless!

[@PierreTastet-t7x]

Great video thanks a lot. To ease delayed gastric emptying: -No ACV (apple vinegar) since it can delay gastric emptying despite being acid (studies on internet). -Domperidone medecine before meal for short term solution. 1 to 3 times day. -5 or more small meals per day. -Ginger, artichoke or other prokinetic food help -Drinking water or liquid after of before meal, 30minutes gap minimum at least when possible Just my personal experience. Hope this helps. Delay gastric emptying sucks. I hate that brick epigastric feeling and burping that stay for hours. Which can lead to undigested food in stool, bloating and farts, weight loss. But most important: positive thinking. Meditation, abdominal breathing. Release all your tensions and bad energy to break the vicious circle and heal the gut-brain connection.

Betaine Hcl (+Pepsin)? 🤔

[@GeeBee7171]

Nice comprehensive video. Thank you! I was diagnosed with gastroparesis a couple years ago. This was after major abdominal surgery for a giant paraesophageal hernia repair (a 2nd repair after 1st surgery failed) followed later by 3 rounds of triple/quadruple antibiotic therapy to get rid of a stubborn h pylori infection. Boy was my digestion a mess after all that!! Thus the gastroparesis diagnosis after an endoscopy. My GI doc told me to eat multiple small meals of things like white bread.😬 No thanks!! Fast forward to today, and these are the tips I would pass along that have helped me immensely: 1) Gastroparesis is a symptom, not a cause, of other underlying issues. 2) Keeping your stomach full continually by eating the recommended multiple small meals will keep you miserable continuously. 3) I needed to treat a SIBO infection caused by the antibiotics for my h pylori infection. Using a low fodmap diet and specific herbal supplements really helped, and I saw improvement in some of my symptoms. 4) This KZbin channel turned me on to looking at the possibility of low stomach acid. Taking digestive enzymes and ox bile (had my gallbladder removed in 2008) has made a HUGE IMPROVEMENT! 5) I also find quality probiotics to be helpful. I hope my experience may help someone else who is suffering from this debilitating condition. THANK YOU so much for your helpful videos!!

How are you now??

[@DS-sx8tq]

My mom was on ppi for many years until she developed growths on her esophagus side effect of those ppis and I read on them they have over 10,000 pending lawsuits because they cause cancer! I think they even took some off shelves at stores because of those lawsuits. Ppis are a temporary bandaid. Doctors should prescribe betaine acid to help with digestion!. I begged her to get off of ppis but she’s too scared because her doctor told her she’ll need them forever. I started her in slippery elm bark to help her stomach heal to hopefully get her off ppi.

[@KickItNaturally]

Thanks for sharing this. We hear stories like this a lot.

[@JuanitaClarkGarcia]

Did she get off of PPI's.

[@FullTimePatient37]

Goodness 0:27 thank you for this reassuring intro ! I have a gastric emptying study.. the main readon was because i have bowel movement barely two timrs a month, and i have weight loss, nausea, bloating, ..

[@TuftWorld-oh7lo]

And what were the results?

[@jernejtkobal]

One of the causes for delayed gastric emptying is Gilbert's syndrome, which I unfortunately discovered just recently not 10 years ago when I should have. I'd guess that could be the cause of my problems (dry eyes - 0 Schirmer which is debilitating, dry skin, dry hair, nausea, constipation, anexiety, dizziness...). I was tested, scanned, biopsied... for everything else and it's all negative. It's not just me that has these common Gilbert's symptoms. And this could also lead to poor gallbladder function- not enough stimulating acid in that duo thingy? At first I tought all this is just coming from gallbladder dysfunction (I noticed the 💩 colour is not as it's shown in this emoji), but after watching your videos I started Betaine HCL and constipation is "washed" away. I also ordered Beet flow, since high dose Taurine, Silymarin, TUDCA... produced no improvement after 1 year. If you could do a video on Gilbert's because there's a lot of us out here existing in misery. Just lowering bilirubin with Sun exposure, Calcium D-Glucarate... doesn't improve the symptoms. And "doctors" claim Gilbert's is benigne, so they aren't of much help. PS: I also take vitamin b1 to improve my Vagus nerve 😉

[@KickItNaturally]

Thanks for sharing this. I've added that topic to my list to cover. IN the meantime, if you haven't taken our free digestion course, that could give some insights too. You can find that free course here: kickitnaturally.com/course Come back and let us know how it goes.

[@akfootballforever]

Have you looked into artichoke leaf extract for this? I saw some reviews on iherb regarding this

[@jernejtkobal]

@@akfootballforever I did, I did. No benefits. Tried too many things that I can list in youtube comment. Waiting for Beet flow now, hope it will help. Coffee enema next.

[@akfootballforever]

@@jernejtkobal what's your diet like? From my research and talking to people on the interweb, a lower fat diet is essential, phosphatidylcholine seems to help, so does taurine. Have you combined these two? Have you looked into potential environmental toxins overloading your liver? Check your house for mold and or water leaks / damage . Harry serpanos has more indepth information on taurine and choline.

[@jernejtkobal]

@@akfootballforever My diet is fine, no mold, I even moved since this started. I tried multiple supplements for longer periods, no change. Taurine 40g/day for a year, nothing.

[@OptimusSeveren3870]

From what I've read Stress/Flight or Flight mode is terrible for your digestion in general. It will slow down or even shutdown the digestive process and direct blood flow and nutrients to other places.

[@KickItNaturally]

Yes, here is our video where we talk about that in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3qZXoN6j7upi6c

I was on PPI's years ago and to combat the acid reflux I was consuming a lot of antacids. To allow for digestion I was taking apple cider vinegar pills in the morning. Once I stopped with the PPI's; I just down on the amount of antacids that I consume. I still take the apple cider vinegar in the morning to kickstart the whole process.

[@KickItNaturally]

ACV is enough for some people who might just need a little boost. Most people need to take more steps than that like we talk about here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKqXi5p5iZtrbLM

I almost missed the .8 was lower than 1 ph . I went back to double check. Some people as I use to before learning more and more and listening closer.

I recently quit cannabis and I think my body doesnt make enough acid now as its not constantly simulated. I have found doing sit ups helps a lot after eating.

[@ZephyrInTheSky8008]

Does gastroparesis have any effect on how often we go number 2? I have tests that are always saying "moderate stol in the colon" yet my doctors just keep trying to treat gastroparesis. I think a lot of us can agree that if we were receiving adequate health care, we wouldn't be here searching for answers. I did get diagnosed with PFD as well but they told me that's only for incomplete movements and not thee urge or lack there of. I'm not taking what you say as medical advice, I'm looking to share your experience whether patients or yourself have dealt with no urge to go for 12 days or more and it being bc of gastroparesis.

[@SharonGoddard-n9q]

I take an alkaloid medication called Carbocistine to reduce over-production of phlegm/mucus from my lungs. I think this is reducing my stomach acid. But as well as this, it reduces mucus systemically throughout my body, likely including my stomach lining mucus. So I am very scared to try Betaine-HCl because I suspect I have reduced protection for my stomach.

[@arnaudsioen2329]

Do you know about the Heidelberg acid test? Why don't all practitioners do this test to see if we have too much or not enough acidity in the stomach, so that we can then treat this problem properly?

[@KickItNaturally]

That's a medical test, but yes, I often wonder why doctors never look at this.

[@BT_life2]

I fear it’s because that test isn’t supported by traditional treatments. What’s medications would a doctor prescribe then? You’re spot on. It’s a valuable test that should be utilised.

[@gothictheurgist9367]

So how do we properly take betaine hcl then?

[@deemarie8887]

So what does it mean when you try HCL and you’ve eaten enough fat but the HCL BURNS the stomach and the intestine? Does it mean you don’t need it? And is there another reason for slow gastric emptying? Often, even water doesn’t leave my stomach for hours…

​@oldegoatee8450 you could look into slippery elm and marshmallow extract (or DGL-liquorice). These can help coat your stomach and soothe.
