Hi Dr Berg. Did you mean that once I have no more reflux after taken enough Betaine HCI capsules, I can stop taking it?

[@sahilroy893]

Thank you! Typically for silent acid reflux how much time does it take for Betaine HCL to work? And how will I know when to stop? I took 2 capsules of 600 mg each, but still got reflux at night.

I agree 100%. I started supplementing with betain HCl. It worked wonders on not just my acid reflux but also inflammation in my skin and face. I recently had an endoscopy on my esophagus and they found a small hiatal hernia. GI doctor recommended antacids and had no comment on me supplementing with the betain HCl.

Another way to stop acid reflux if you can do this… I started with acid reflux in my 30’s. I thought it was because I was becoming unfit, therefore I started to jog 3 miles every other day. After my 2nd jog the reflux stopped, I did a few more jogs afterwards. So I stopped running and about 2 months after my reflux started again, so I started jogging again and my reflux would stop again. I still jog a little and go to the gym and I’ve only had attacks after good night drinking sessions etc, I'm 50 now and have been fine up to now.

Your advice is useful for people who truly have hypochloridia. Unfortunately half the people who have GERD HAVE HYPERchloridia=overproduction of stomach acid. For those people, adding more acid, i.e. apple cider vinegar,makes the condition worse. There is a stomach acid test that can tell which condition is present. People should have this checked out before blindly going on an ACV protocol. You can't choose an appropriate treatment without a proper diagnosis. That said, I appreciate in general your efforts to provide healthy alternatives to tradition pharmaceutical solutions.

[@Marciusha]

Yes. Like j feel how when i eat tomatoes(tomatoes are the same as putting acid in my stomach for me) my stomach acid kills me. And with ppi i can even eat tomatoes and feel fine. How can i add more acid when the aim is to lessen it because that is when i have no reflux. And many of us have hiatal hernia, like i do, and that may be the cause. Simply we need a surgery to put the stomach back and the valve may close.

Isn't it just the lower esophagal sphincter relaxing? Allowing the stomach acid to go up into the esophagus rather than staying closed?

8:12 Dr. Berg's Recommendation to Stop Acid Reflux: The best remedy is to take something to build up your hydrochloric acid and that's called Betaine Hydrochloride. You start by taking three right before your meal and see how you feel, if it's better but you still have problem, next time you take four, next time you take fine and you keep increasing it until your symptoms go away. It could take seven or eight or more of these Betaine Hydrochloride tablets before you have no more acid reflux. 9:01 Dr. Berg's next recommendation: Let's say you're up to eight Betaine Hydrochloride and your acid reflux goes away and you feel great, I would continue to take a little bit more until you start getting heartburn or a warmness in your stomach which you're taking too much, so then you can back off. That way you can know exactly how much you really need to fix this problem. 9:31 Make sure you're getting enough potassium and sea salt in your diet because those are the precursors to building hydrochloric acid. 9:42 Make sure you're getting sufficient zinc. 9:49 Chew your food longer. 10:04 Make sure you keep your stress down because stress can aggravate the situation.

Dr. Berg, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for providing your audience with valuable insight regarding health. Much respect to you! I took Pantoprazole for 5 or 6 years due to GERD. When my GP prescribed it to me, I asked about possible side effects, and all she mentioned was a lack of Vit B12 with long term use. Well about 3 years ago, I was rushed to emergency with severe stomach pain and had to go on sick leave for 15 weeks. It was then I stumbled on a video talking about the dangerous side effects of proton pump inhibitors and the amazing benefits of apple cider vinegar. I stopped taking the Pantoprazole immediately and took ACV in water 4 to 5 times per day along with cutting out carbs. It took me less than a month to totally get rid of my GERD.

[@jleeh3722]

I also went the same thing but less severe as you. My doctor prescribed me with Omeprazole because of refluxing acid for 1 week, however, it didn't end my acid reflux so I would continue taking omeprazole whenever I get acid reflux and it still didn't end my acid reflux and after a few months, I encountered dr. eric's channel and found out that I shouldn't take antacids when I kept getting acid reflux day in and day out but rather, I should increase the ph and amount of my acid so I took Apple cider vinegar like dr. eric said and after taking 2 tsp everyday, I finally ended my chronic acid reflux thanks to dr. eric and his informative videos.

There's another video where Dr. Berg says GERD is caused by a vitamin B1 and Zinc deficiency. Don't know why he doesn't talk about it in this video. Vitamin B1 needs to be taken in the form of non-fortified nutritional yeast. You could have gotten rid of GERD within a few hours going this route. But it's a good thing you decided to cut down on carbs/sugar bc you couldnt have stopped GERD without doing so bc that's what helped you build back up your zinc and B1. If you ever eat too many carbs and your symptoms reappear, just take non-fortified nutritional yeast and zinc complex, (or a few oysters instead), and it will be gone in a few hours up to maybe a day at most. ACV is also very important :)

[@xCestLaVie1]

I wouldnt say anything bad about pantoprazole. To lay people, especially those without health insurance in the US, pharma might be evil. But pantaprazole is SO effective when treating upper GI bleeds and stomach ulcers. It also gets rid of pylori bacteria. It's usually prescribed for temporary treatment. If youre taking a lot of medication already because youre unhealthy, youre also prescribed pantoprazole because your stomach might not be able to handle all those difficult medications at once. 90% of the people who go into hospitals for repeat issues are unwilling to change their diet or lifestyle so medication is really the only bandaid given. Personal issues about not improving diet and lifestyle are not doctor issues, theyre patient issues.

First of all, thank you Dr. Berg for all of your honesty and candor. Second, I had my gall bladder removed at age 31 and am now 71. Can I still take betaine hydrochloride safely? I have very severe silent night time reflux to the extent that my new ENT discovered that my throat, voice box, and tonsils were being fried for years. Thus, a ton of tonsil infections every year with antibiotics. The pain had become terrible just to talk. My PCP and I were afraid I had throat cancer, so I saw the ENT to rule that out, since he is also a board certified cancer cosmetic/reconstructive surgeon. He put me on an anti reflux diet after scoping me in detail and the PPI omeprozole 40 mg. He directed me to sleep elevated by about 6 inches. This has all helped greatly, but my dermatologist, who had decades of practice experience and is more holistic in his approach, is really concerned for me to be on PPIs for the rest of my life.

Dr. Berg, I'm a 54 year old menopausal woman, and I fast 3.5 days a week. I get horrid reflux while fasting, which doesn't seem to make sense since my stomach's empty. When I'm not fasting, certain acidic low-carb foods make it much worse-lemon juice or tomato based sauces set me on fire, LOL, but I have reflux even with steak tips and a salad... and the one time I supplemented with Betaine supplement (while already having reflux), one single tablet made my feel like an active volcano, the burning was so bad. This led me to believe that perhaps I really do produce too much acid, and I was talked into a low-dose PPI by my doctor. The problem is that it's no longer working. I take it daily and the reflux has become bad again. I've had an upper GI and have no anatomical anomalies, though I was recently diagnosed with esophageal spasm, which, of course, is triggered by reflux. I already supplement zinc, chloride and potassium and do not supplement calcium. When I can't stand the burning any longer, I use baking soda in water for relief. My doctor wants to up the PPI dose but I believe that has to be another way. Is there anything else I might try that you didn't cover here?

It got so that I was scared to go to sleep at night and would lie awake for hours if I felt little burps coming up - which to me was a sign of imminent reflux. How did I get rid of it? - five months ago I started to eat an apple every day after my main meal of the day, and from the very first day my acid reflux problem vanished!

My niece had suggested Braggs apple cider vinegar but I didn’t think a natural solution would work for me. After two years of on again, off again relief, I tried the apple vinegar. I had immediate relief! I continued to take it for the next two weeks, and over time I forgot about it because I wasn’t having nausea anymore.

You need acid to trigger the reflex also you need melatonin to suppress acid production at bedtime and sleep time. They will reject what is said here and offer PPI meds. Omeprazole and other PPI meds are a toxic melatonin analogues. "They are the most potent inhibitors of acid secretion available today. Omeprazole (one of the PPIs) and melatonin have similarities in their chemical structures. Therefore, we could consider omeprazole as a rough copy of melatonin. In this paper, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of the clinical use of melatonin and PPIs." ---Ricardo De Souza Pereir The PPI meds suppress stomach acid at the wrong times of the day.

Enjoy your videos but I've noticed that in most cases when you recommend using a supplement such as betaine hydrocholoride in this case, you recommend taking a number of capsules or tablets of the supplement in question but do not specify what the typical dosage is of the supplement itself. In looking up betaine hydrocholoride, it seems to vary between 600mg to 1200mg. It would be great if you could include a baseline for the supplements you recommend. Also, several articles recommend taking the betaine in the middle rather than before eating and to include at least 6 oz. of protein with the meal.

I suffered chronic heartburn from age 25 to age 32, believing it to have simply been a condition I would have to endure, just as you did, with Tums. In fact, in 1991 when my wife and I went to Italy to visit her parents, every morning, her dad would get up early, go to the bakery, and bring home fresh "pane integrale," multi-grain bread. And every morning, I would cut a large slice, slap a layer of margarine because, well, butter has that evil cholesterol. Then I would spread my mother-in-law's homemade "marmellata di prugne," plum jam. And every morning, within ten minutes, I would get the heartburn. But almost everything I ate, all "healthy" foods, gave me heartburn. I had to take two Tums every hour for the next four to five hours to overcome the heartburn. After four mornings of this same breakfast, I went to the fridge and learned there was no more margarine. When I asked my mother-in-law about it, she said I would have to use butter for the day, so I did. To my utter astonishment, having sat and waited for my heartburn to then take my Tums, nothing happened. No way! Margarine was the culprit? So, when we got home, I went through everything in our pantry and read all the ingredients. Several favorite cereals, including Quaker Oats 100% Natural Cereal, now just called granola, had partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in it. I threw away everything that had the words, "hydrogenated," "margarine," or "shortening" in the ingredient list. From then on, I avoided hydrogenated oil. I also had to boycott every restaurant that fried anything in shortening or margarine. Eventually, over a decade later, they started talking about "trans" fats, which are just hydrogenated oils. Most companies are eliminating hydrogenated oils now, and it's already been banned in Japan, Holland, Denmark, and Canada. We still haven't banned these oils. They cause more than just heartburn. They are linked to colon, prostate, and breast cancers. They are also linked to other inflammatory diseases such as skin disorders like Eczema, Psoriasis, and Acne. It causes demyelination of nerve tissue, which is literally shorting out our nervous system, including our brain's wiring. I've given the advice to numerous friends and family members who suffer chronic heartburn and those who have listened have thanked me for getting them off trans fats.

I have not washed my food down with drinks, but forced my body to make more saliva since I was 20. I'm now 75 and very rarely am bothered with Reflux or indigestion. I got this advice from, Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss.

What about acid reflux due to hiatal hernia? Is there any hope for me? I’ve been on omeprozale for about 6 months now and it seems to work decently well but I’m worried about long term side effects

[@ashl3ymich3ll3]

I am truly thankful for this information! My doctor prescribed me PPIs and I remembered you saying these were bad. I purchased the betane hydrochloride, took one pill before each meal, and the pain is gone ❤ I'm hoping this heals all the other issues you mentioned as well

Nothing stops acid reflux instantly! It’s a grind and you’ve to work hard at it day in day out…

[@bobzador4038]

I certainly agree that the root cause of acid reflux is low stomach acid. The problem for me, and I suspect many others is that when I have bouts of acid reflux, if I was to take betaine hydrochloride it would only make the condition significantly worse. Timing of when to take HCL is tricky

[@Pound4Poundtv_]

When are you taking it, try taking it during a meal, if you feel heat and pain you may have inflammation or a ulcer.

[@jn2400]

Ya, one time I took a fish oil pill when I had bad acid reflux and all I could taste was fish oil, like it dissolved in my throat lol

[@rodrigobalibalita12]

In my case it was not low stomach acid. I used to drink a lot of bottled juices, orange , grapes, etc while working at the post office. After so many months drinking bottled juices I developed acid reflux. I tried different medications but to no avail, they only brought temporary relief. A friend recommended to eat red apples. I tried it and after a couple of days acid reflux was gone. My wife used Fuji apple and it worked also. The problem never came back.

Can I ask how much ACV you take and do you dilute it in water? Thanks

[@reverendbecker]

Going low on sugar and white wheat and white rice was the way that brought me out instantly.

[@osmanvincent1975]

I suggest trying a quick & easy alternative approach that just might work for you. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. No harm or cost in giving this approach a try. You should know quickly, in a couple days, if this approach helps. Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. GERD often happens naturally without a clear cause, especially with older people. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the two sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD. Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so that the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also. The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.

[@chumleyshaver7942]

Thank you Osman for your advise and possibly a very simple solution to resolving GERD. Seems also a good way to get a little morning exercise- I’m hopping to try it right away!

I thought that was only for if you have a hiatal hernia. Because it does work for that most definitely. I didn't know it could help with GERD! 🤔

[@Drberg]

Here's some videos that may help: kzbin.infosearch?query=IBS Dr. Berg's Support Team.

[@jon123423]

1. Build up 2,3,4,5,6 HCL capsule (600mg) per each meal, until it burns then back down 1 - could be taking as much as 15 capsules a day is that safe? 2. How long should you take it for? 3. Should you also take zinc carnosin (remove regular zinc) and L-Glutamine? 4. Take Probiotics as well? 5. Change diet?

[@trusound170]

I find that adjusting my diet helps me immensely. Lower carbs, minimal processed food. More vegetables for sure helps. In a bad case of acid reflux a good immediate help is either carrot juice or carrots, sliced cucumbers are also good. Sometimes we fail to recognize triggers because the are foods that we eat frequently. Only when you eliminate an entire category do you realize how it affects you after bringing it back in later. It can take days sometimes for the offending items to show their selves though. One of the WORST things for me is Dot's pretzels. I don't know what they put in them that makes them so offensive, but I will be messed up for days if I eat more than one or two. Also nuts that are salted. I think it's largely due to the oils they use. I avoid the salted variety as much as possible. Good luck out there!

Great video! I start meals with a few minutes of slowed breathing/extended exhale, feeling gratitude, and progressive muscle relaxation in stomach area to get into the parasympathetic nervous system. Then eat mindfully and slowly chewing each bite till the food is fully dissolve before swallowing. This increases saliva production and really helps! The Beltane HCl or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in water before the meal too, especially when it’s the middle of the day and I’m eating my bigger meal.

[@marschlosser4540]

I saved this page to the computer to share it. A lot of people are suffering stress related reflux now. When asked what I did, I tell them, Ask for God's peace, and lay off dairy. Most adults cannot digest dairy and for us, American Indians (metis and mestizo in this part of Arizona) it can make us sick. Giving up gluten is something else I recommend because we can't digest it. And, gluten leads to a lot more problems like diabetes. Net result, since doing that, I get a problem only once in a great while, perhaps once a year when it grows hot, a reminder to slow down. hasta!

Dr. Berg, over the summer, your channel showed as a recommendation on my KZbin homepage. My wife and I watched an episode, and we've been following you since. Thanks so much for sharing you medical knowledge with us all! I have to tell you that your episode on digestion, bloating, and not having good bowel movements was like you made that episode for me! I've been taking your extra strength Gallbladder Formula as recommended for almost 3 months now and my bloating is almost non-existent, and I'm having normal bowel movements for the first time in years! Thank you so much! Do you also have your own formula of the ingredients you spoke of in this acid reflux/gerd episode? Thanks again for your spot on information! In closing, my wife and I both give you 2 thumbs up on your beard!

Fascinating. For years I have had bad acid reflux. I also have a hiatus hernia and colitis. I believe strong acid reflux medicines like omeprazole were instrumental in causing my colitis. Worst of all I have at times severe left side chest pain, an ectopic heartbeat and a permanent wheeziness and cough especially right after food. I am convinced the cough is reflux related and I take far too many calcium based remedies.
