I watch many videos by various people on some of these topics, but you are the best! Must give ample credit to you. Your explanation on the stomach might be alkaline because of the bacterial overgrowth and how to overcome the issue before taking betaine was simply gold. Keep up the good work.

SO GOOD!! WOW, I've been treated with 2 doses of a PPI for 2 years (without relief) and come to find out my GERDs is actually LOW acid. Started the HCL (with Peptin - will stop that part). My GERDs are pretty much gone, and no more nighttime coughing and the post-nasal drip is almost gone (I don't have a Gallbladder, and to take supplements as you've recommended). Now, my, what the heck is it that my gastro doctors are clueless & almost belligerent with my 'self-diagnosis''...

Thanks to your advice now I can tolerate Betaine HCL, the non pepsin version works best for me. I worked up to 8 pills, i have no stomach burning or strong reflux. - My problem is that it just makes me bloated and constipated. How come I can take 8 500mg capsules and just get left with bloating and constipation, rather than diarrhea? I am confused what my next step should be

[@brianheaphycom]

Outstanding video, TC. I have two associated questions: 1.) Why do you prefer to stay away from Betaine supplements that contain pepsin? 2.) I have found a Betaine supplement that contains vegetable peptase instead of pepsin. Does your preference regarding the avoidance of pepsin apply to vegetable peptase as well? Thank you in advance for your response to these two questions, TC.

[@KickItNaturally]

Thanks Brian. Pepsin is okay. But most people need to work up to a full dose of 5 HCL per meal to get real benefits, and a dose of pepsin that high can often cause discomfort. That's why we use this HCL: naturalreference.com/products/betaine-hcl

[@brianheaphycom]

Do you have any opinion regarding betaine supplements that incorporate vegetable peptase (VegPeptase) as a substitute for pepsin? Would large amounts of VegPeptase potentially cause the same problems as large amounts of pepsin?

Hi! I took 2 Betaine HCL, one digestive enzyme and one beet flow (all from empirical) with my meals today. After dinner I started burping a lot and felt a little burning (not usual). Does this usually signify more HCL is needed with meals for now? This is my 2nd day taking and figuring out dosing. I took your course btw!

So, from my understanding .I have betaine hcl (with pepsin) 650mg per cap, my upper limit is 4 caps per meal? I dont feel the discomfort you talk about but either the slight burning sensation that i should feel. I take sometimes up to 10 caps to feel something! Is that pretty high if the stomach should hold on only 2500mg? Thank you! An keep the good work up! 🎉

However I am suffering from chronic rhinosinusitus, nasal polyps, severe nasal inflammation But no infection or discharge. I had blood tests and take d3 so my # is 45. Yet this sinus thing persists. Outwardly i look great, what am I missing? Its severly impacting my life. Ent is going to remove the polyps and do a deviated septum correction in June. What the hell is going on with my sinus. I did a lvl 3 blood tests, I'm not asthmatic and don't have a aspirin sensitivity. There are no food antibodies and no food allergies per the test results.

[@gnosticari]

I have been supplementing with both HCL and Beetroot but had to discontinue due to very bad stomach aches in the morning on empty stomach and during the day. I have candida in the gut and always get bloating. I have done the flush twice in the space of 10 days and I tell you what, my stool is definitely darker. It's been years that my stool has carried a lighter shade of brown. Now, I don't know what's causing the stomach aches to increase when taking this combination....

[@KickItNaturally]

First, if you're just taking normal beet root, that won't do anything. It needs to be Beet Flow from empirical labs. And it sounds like you might need to get aggressive at reducing some type of overgrowth either in the stomach or small intestine.

Many cheap supplements include binders that can restrict your ability to assimilate nutrients for sure, but I'm not sure of ones that might interfere with stomach acid production. there are some that can neutralize stomach acids. So we try not to use cheap supplements that you might find in a local pharmacy or something like that.

I take creon for enzymes and I can’t take hcl because creon need it to work better through my small intestines rather in my stomach that will make the creon open up in the stomach if I took hcl and lowered my astomech acid .

A few years after that I noticed when I mowed the grass I would get stuffed up and sneezed alot. Over the years this has persisted. But in the las 10 years it's gotten chronic. I've lived outdoors my entire life. Multiple presidents physical fitness awards. And have been an athlete my entire life. I have read untold white papers on clinical testing on a huge array of topics. The closest I have gotten was a possible d3 deficiency but that turned out as far as I can tell to be a non issue. Beyond extreme sinus swelling i have not been able to nail down causation.

ACV works best for me.

[@KickItNaturally]

ACV can be helpful if a person just needs a little boost. Here is our video on an imbalance that can come from using too much though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZqTimyOiMqGjtk

Champ! What do u say on adding oregno oil, black seed oil and grapefruit seed extract for Sibo and Sifo with the D-lemonide and mastic? 🫣

[@KickItNaturally]

I have had success with clients using all of those, but I can't say which ones might be right or best for you.

[@12345621770]

Black seed oil for me personally give me constipation and dehydration !

[@brettKneebone]

I’m finding the hcl and beetflow is slowing the bowels more. Is this just an initial problem and should I continue until this improves?

[@KickItNaturally]

Sounds like you might be improving bile flow faster than you're improving the acid side. that is common

I have a lot of complication that it prevents me to take hcl. I suffer from EPI, and I don’t have a gallbladder also I have high pepsin and bam(bile salt malabsorption) because of chron’s disease. I take creon for enzymes and I can’t take hcl because creon need it to work better through my small intestines rather in my stomach that will make the creon open up in the stomach if I took hcl and lowered my astomech acid . Despite the fact I need hcl because I have sibo and auto immune disease. Is there way around all this mess! I suffer from too much gas and constant bloating and loss of appetite, and so many other symptoms. If there is anything can help me please let me know.
