Here's the way I think about it, given that the gastroesophageal (GE) valve closes fully only when stomach acid levels are high enough:
High stomach acid=closed GE valve, resulting in no reflux or heartburn. Medium stomach acid=open GE valve, resulting in burning reflux and/or heartburn. Low stomach acid=open GE valve, resulting in watery reflux and unnoticeable heartburn.

Your channel has been a godsend, especially here in the US where our healthcare practitioners are siloed and often belittle the value nutrition plays in augmenting or exacerbating gut function on individual cases. Your videos have helped me become more informed and advocate for myself as I try to navigate my gut issues, and this video in particular speaks to my experience. Thanks so much.

This is by far the most straightforward and easy to understand video on how to identify low stomach acid. Very professional presntation! Subbed.

This is such useful information! I've used the HCl test in my practice a lot. Unfortunately, some people are unable to get the functional testing they need due to cost reasons. With that said, these are such useful and simple tests that can help a great deal and go a long way towards aiding in identifying a digestive problem. Very well done and appreciate your content as an American practitioner.

Took me 15 mins 56 seconds to burp. I've already been diagnosed with Gastritis but I can't wait to be done with it.

I used to experience heartburn and acid reflux frequently when i used to eat animal foods to a point where i would feel it in my throat, though since going plant based i haven't had them at all.

My doctor had me try the HCL test. I didnt even finish the test bc I got up to 12 capsules at a time and still didnt experience any burning or acid reflux. I didnt want to take any more than that so I quite. Clearly I have little to no stomach acid. I just sent in a SIBO breath test kit to the lab. Im now anxiously awaiting the results.

Thank you, I love how informative your content is!

I did the baking soda test and I didn’t burp or notice any discomfort....

[TheSocialDancers]

You mention taking 5 tablets of HCL. I assume there are different doses of this on the market. How many mg (or measurement) should be in each tablet? Thank you!

[antinatalistvegan]

Interesting... What does it mean if you NEVER burp? Have no problems with production of gas at the other end though 💨

I had gastritis in 2017 and I just treated it with hcl with betaine.

[debbiec]

I tried the baking soda, as soon as I took a drink of the baking soda,
I burped and I waited 20 minutes and nothing took place . What would that mean ??? Thank you . << Would you please answer my comment???
As far as the ACV, I can't take it because I have Erosive Esophagus aka that would burn.

[Raquel-hiwv]

could this somehow be linked to hiatal hernia?

[lumagiamusic]

Lots of burping and palpitations:( but still pain in the stomach.

[shainn]

could u make a video about cannabis (thc) and the brain/ memory

[toninhotlou]

Hi, just a question I'm on my 9th capsule per meal which by the way contains 325mg of betaine HCL and 59mg of pepsin and I don't feel any of those warming/acid reflux symptoms but what I feel is like a not so good feeling on my stomach like if I would be ill-tempered, don't know to explain, what should I do, should I keep increasing the dosage or do I dial it down??
I mainly eat Plant base besides sometimes eating eggs don't know if that matters.

[AllanBrunoPetersen]

Isn't it a bit problematic just taking in baking soda on empty stomach? -I would expect stomach acidity to fall and then cause problems with the following breakfast? -If not already a problem in and of it self?

[juto]

I saw a video about the supplement and they suggested knowing how your gallbladder is doing before taking the hcl
