In fact, in the beginning I was nervous about taking 6 pills at a meal. But trust me. Wright reports that the common Betaine HCL dosage range in his clinical practice is 3,,mg per meal. That means there are also plenty of people who need above 5,mg for an effective dosage.
Remember, a normal functioning stomach is capable of producing and handling extreme acid ranges. If your dosage starts getting extremely high without any GI distress step 3 , you must use your GI symptoms as a guide instead. These include burping, bloating, farting, and stool consistency.
Keep everything else the same in your diet as you wait for these indicators to change for the better. It could be that at 11 pills all of your problems disappear. While I knew the science, there was nothing else like it on the market.
Which is something I asked many supplement companies to make over the years… and they just refused. The newest digestive support product on the market. This works especially well for those who struggle with:.

Heartburn Evidence Based. Some use it as a baseline measure and to track changes over time. If you have not burped within five minutes, it may be a sign of insufficient stomach acid. Early and repeated burping may be due to too much stomach acid do not to confuse this with small burps from swallowing air when drinking the solution.
Any burping after 3 minutes is an indication of low stomach acid levels. Low stomach acid can be associated with other health issues that have far-reaching consequences. If you suspect low stomach acid, ask our office about testing for the following:. B12 levels: Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein in the stomach necessary for absorption of vitamin B This results in vitamin B12 deficiency, which is a serious health concern.
Homocysteine levels: Stomach acid is important for proper absorption of vitamin B12, a key factor in methylation that keeps inflammatory homocysteine at the right levels. When B12 is low, homocysteine elevates. Eat protein foods at the beginning of your meal to stimulate the digestive enzymes necessary for digesting protein. Chew thoroughly. This is one of the most important parts of digestion. Food proteins need to be broken down to be properly digested.
Limit liquid intake during meals until at least 30 minutes after a meal to allow for proper stomach acid production, pathogen sterilization, and protein metabolism. Stay hydrated between meals to support proper gut motility; this pushes the contents of the intestines out of the body instead of back into the stomach.
This is very important for those who are prone to SIBO. Betaine hydrochloride supplements help support healthy gut function and safely restore normal gastric acidity.
Do not confuse betaine HCl with anhydrous betaine, a methyl-donor nutrient taken to control homocysteine levels. Always take the betaine HCL either half-way through the meal or right at the end of the meal. Taking it before a meal may create a false experience of heartburn and can turn off stomach acid production for this meal.
HCl with pepsin. Add these to your diet when you consume protein. When you feel warmth in your stomach, that means you are taking enough. Then back it down a notch and monitor your response. Some people need one capsule, others need more as everyone is unique. Typically used in conjunction with HCl, pepsin is considered very safe when administered to assist digestion. Digestive enzymes help to break down food proteins. Do you know how long the Betaine HCl supplements last in the system or does it wear off?
Will my stomach acid go back to how it was or is this gas burning in my chest? Last thing, I was scared at first because nothing else was working but, I did the baking soda test afterwards and I burped just after seconds passed….
I tested myself for H. My symptoms include burping after eating, acid moving up into my esophagus and a feeling of something being stuck somewhere along my digestive system that I feel in my back. Towards the end of this period I was taking 80 mg of Nexium per day. However, as I was taking the medicine my symptoms worsened. I lost 8 kg because I was barely able to eat. I felt that food stayed in my stomach for hours before it got digested.
After 5 weeks I decided to stop the medication as I read that my condition may be due to low stomach acid instead of high acidity. Although I had some rebound acid after stopping the medication, the rebound effects stopped after days. Other foods such as egg whites, pickles, avocados, rusks in water were hard for me to consume but I found that I can eat them if I also took some apple cider vinegar.
I think apples cider vinegar relieved to a big extent many of my above symptoms. Unfortunately, apple cider vinegar is causing pain in the epigastric region after I take it. Is there anything I could substitute the vinegar with? Is there something that I can take to soothe the pain from the vinegar?
Most times it just goes way after a day. You can try ACV pills instead. Hi Pavlina, One quick mention here.
Magdalena was tested for H. Pylori and the only way anything showed up was by a GI Map. Have you considered doing that? Magdalena said she did a combo of supplements designed by her integrative doctor which included mastic gum. She has retested and after the treatment is pylori-free.
Pylori Protocol o Mastic Gum 2 grams twice daily x 8 weeks o Zinc Carnosine 75mg twice daily x 8 weeks o Berberine mg take 3 caps twice daily x 8 weeks. Healthy Regards, HB Team. I was having reflux issues and a feeling of fullness after eating and gave HCL a try. I started with one and it started working straight away. My stool consistency was also improved. I increased to four eventually and results stayed the same. After a week or so like that, I found that I had a gnawing pain in my upper stomach, but not while eating — usually hours later.
I stopped taking HCL, but still have the issue. I wake up and feel fine. I can eat breakfast and that seems ok, but when I eat anything remotely substantial, and hour or so after eating I start getting terrible cramps. I recommend meeting with a medical professional who can work with you on a more individualized basis. Many folks have had success in working with functional medicine doctors. Here is an excellent tool if you need assistance finding one in your area.
It seems to help with bloating especially. Is it safe to use these supplements long-term? What can I do to increase my own stomach acid? We would suggest discontinuing use, and discussing it with a Functional Medicine practitioner.
HB Support. Does anyone else get extremely ill from Betaine HCL? After 1 pill I get so dizzy that I fell down half a flight of stairs. I also get a debilitating headache that lasts for hours. My doctor has NO explanation for my adverse reactions to Betaine. Your liver could be not working enough to clear out byproduct from digestion.
TAking hcl could increase digestion and create more by products to deal with. It is the pepsin! It used to make me feel worse but then I switched to the Bioptimizers HCL Breakthrough without pepsin and worked wonders. I have IBS-D and have suspected low stomach acid due to noticing digestion problems. I have never had GERD or anything like that, the issue for me is excess gas. I did the bicarbonate test over 3 days and had no reaction whatsoever, so I then moved onto HCL. I started off really low on 1 tablet mg then increased to 2 tablets mg and then increased to 3 tablets taking me up to So the next day I reduced it back down to 2 tablets and that seemed to have gone well.
The next morning my bowel movements were good and I had a lot less gas which is my main issue.. But one symptom I seemed to have developed is an acrid taste in my mouth — is this normal? Does that signify too much acid? Any advice would be much appreciated! That could mean to much acid. If it continues stop all together and see if that symptom disappears. I am wondering if you have any recommendations for treating h.
Mastic gum, Found in supplements formulas for H-pylori, Colloidal silver plus aloe Vera juice can also be effective. I would like to test for low stomach acid. I am taking prescription Prilosec every morning. I suffer from GERD. Would the pills be ok for me to take? About acv or the lemon juice? Thank you. He said it did not burn, and did make him feel better. He began taking it daily, and for quite awhile slept better at night, with almost no snoring. He would NOT recommend lemon juice—that still burns; a little is tolerated now and then, but not continuous amounts.
I suffer from terrible IBS and am on a very limited diet. I always thought my stomach acid was too high as I cannot tolerate anything acidic. Even a couple of drops of lemon juice in warm water gives me stomach cramps. How would one test for high stomach acid? I take synthroid in the morning can I still take the ACV in the morning and if so should I take it before or after my meds? How would a medical doctor check if a patient produces enough stomach acid? I need 2 to 3 capsules of betain hcl from pure encapsulattion.
At the moment I am not sure how to explain my doctor that my findings shows that I am low in stomach acid. Hi Boo, It would be good if you found a trusted practitioner to discuss that concern with. Many clients have had success with a functional medicine doctor. If you need help locating one in your area, here is a good tool:.
What is acv? How is it used to help the scalp? Thank you for your time and reply. Much appreciation! Hello, I apologize if this is a stupid question. Do you continue taking them until you feel nothing or do you stop taking them? According to nhlbi. If you have severe pernicious anemia, your doctor may recommend shots first. Shots usually are given in a muscle every day or every week until the level of vitamin B12 in your blood increases.
Hi Susan, Apple Cider Vinegar rinses are wonderful for gently cleansing, strengthening and conditioning hair. It also helps balance the scalps pH and reduces inflammation. It does it all. My hair is filling back in and I can see new growth all over.
I am on my first bottles! I love these WOW Products.
