I have been suffering from acid reflux with stomach pain and chest pain for the past 9 months! I go through pain every day! I do not know what else to do! I've been taking so many antibiotics and nothing... I wasn't going to work anymore, until I came across Dr. Emovon on KZbin. Thank you for doing everything that you do and helping me during a hard time. I'll definitely spread this to the whole world, I'm totally free from acid reflux..

[@lucyukeymusic821]

Have had gerd everyday the last month with heartburn, burn and everything in the throat. Did this test and it’s been 3 mins with no burp. Clearly, low stomach acid. I’ve been told magnesium helps the heartburn and I just started taking it a couple days ago. It works for about 20 mins and goes away. I also started fasting 18:6.. hoping that works along with burping at some point today lol I had this two years ago and lost 30lbs in 4 months. It was awful. Tried so many meds and the side effects were insanely terrible. Until I got an upper gi and my doctor said use gaviscon. This time the gaviscon isn’t working at all. 😢 the acv works but it’s burns at times. I did that for 30 days, too. 2 years ago

[@dr.danielricciardi]

Wishing you good luck and good health...

t used Omeprazole 40 mg and broad spectrum antibiotic for 15 days and pain killer for some day after completing my course everything was normal but after 7,8 days i feel like bloating, gas, and mushy floaty stools and undigested food particles My Ct scan is normal CBC is also normal stool culture and sensitivity tests are also normal Pancreas elastase 1 is normal H pylori is negative b12 deficiency so it means i have low stomach acid ? or something else

[@Topdealmaker]

I think yes.

[@dr.danielricciardi]

I can't make a diagnosis on that. This test may be useful to estimate stomach acid levels though.

[@Topdealmaker]

@@dr.danielricciardi sir i didn't burp after taking baking soda empty stomach. So if i have low stomach acid i can't digest b vitamins from food and supplements? I have 2 symptoms of indigestion. Gas and bloating.

[@Healthiswealth1994]

I burp right away when i drink regular water so I’m sure I’ll burp with the baking soda what does that mean ?

[@dr.danielricciardi]

It could be from drinking too fast.

Hello. It's tough to confidently make a recommendation on that, as nausea can be from a lot of different things.

[@Gratitude1814]

Baking soda is unsalted salt. So how do we consume salt each day? Please give me some advice.

[@happycheers6947]

It's a test, u dont do it everyday, lol. If the result is u low stomach acid then u take shouldnt take antacid or ppi, u can take acv or betaine hcl before meal (unless if u have ulcers or gastritis). This test is usually done if u have stomach problem such as indigestion, gerd, bloating.

[@Ydce1891]

Unless you’re suffering from a condition like Addison’s disease you don’t need that much salt.

[@JazzyGems111]

Is this safe to do if there’s a possible ulcer?

[@dr.danielricciardi]

Yes. Baking soda has a basic pH and will not cause more pain from an ulcer.

Good question. I made this video discussing 5 direct causes of low stomach acid that you want to avoid (starting at 3:10) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHCZJSbpcakq9k Making sure you have optimal magnesium and B12 is also helpful.

[@coopercooper8406]

Thiamine might raise your stomach acid.

[@elnewbie2611]

Apple cider vinegar, and since stomach acid is made out of hydrochloric acid, anything that results in making hydrochloric acid will make your stomach more acidic which is good, I recommend watching Dr Berg, he has like 8 videos on this topic, one of the main reasons for low acid is H pylori, he also has videos how to naturally get rid of it.

[@happycheers6947]

I dont burp when i take baking soda, i burp when i take betaine hcl. Does that mean my stomach acid is very low? I have very bad bloating.

It's an estimation of stomach acid. It's possible you are low though.

It should say 1/4

You said a ¼ teaspoon, but your wrote ½ teaspoon.

Please excuse the fraction mishap. It is 1/4

Thank you for all your replies. Exceptional.

FYI you say 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda but your printed comments reads 1/2 teaspoon.

You are correct, please go with 1/4 tsp and I apologize for the mix up!

[@HolisticTake]

How do you know this is true?

[@bonaseraproductions1460]

If you are low does that indicate you need more amino acids?

[@dr.danielricciardi]

Perhaps yes, because strong stomach acid helps break down protein into amino acids.

Borderline, but it should really be multiple/consistent burping

[@Ydce1891]

What if your acid is too high?

[@dr.danielricciardi]

That is very uncommon. If that were the cause, you would likely burp quickly

[@joewalker8098]

I've been doing this for 4 days in a row and i always have a tiny burp as soon as i finish the drink then don't burp for another 7 or 8 minutes which is a proper burp. What does this mean?

[@whatya2301]

Hi, this might sound funny, but what if i fart before 3 minutes and just have one or two burps. So this means that i am on a higher acid level right?

[@dr.danielricciardi]

Perhaps not high, but sufficient

[@FJHDZ]

Usually after every meal, I compulsively cough vigorously coughing up this white phlegm with saliva mixture that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also be burping. Could this be a sign of low or high acid levels? I haven’t done the baking soda test yet but I will.

[@dr.danielricciardi]

Good question. I'm not sure, but it seems something else may be contributing to that besides stomach acid levels.

[@pattabiramanmuthu9235]

Per this test, it suggests you have sufficient stomach acid

[@najmabegum5789]

U didn't explain how know low or hight stomach acid

[@dr.danielricciardi]

3 mins is the cutoff. If you begin burping after 3 mins, you may have low stomach acid. If you begin burping before 3 mins, it is more likely you have enough stomach acid.

Not necessarily. Some people just don't burp at all. In that case, I'd just assume you may be low

[@rantaroamanisbae9266]

I don’t really burp much at all and if I do it’s less likely big

[@mryoso22]

before 3 minutes i had a small burp does that mean i have low acid?

Unclear, but I usually say that multiple normal burps is a better indication

[@anthonyarceneaux3922]

Small burp at about the four minute mark is that to close to say?

I would lean toward considering that low

[@Rubinaihsankamal]

I burp after 10 20 mins after drinking water .what should it mean

It you included the baking soda, it may indicate low stomach acid if it takes 10-20 mins to burp
