This information would've change my life 20 years ago, all these years i've had minor digestive issues that worsens as i get older, everytime i went to visit a Dr. they quickly throw a prescription at me to relieve my symptoms and push me out the door instead of trying to investigate the root cause of my symptoms. i finally got fed up and started trying on countless digestive aid supplements and found that my symptoms get better when i take digestive enzymes in high dose. i ran to the Dr. office and told her and she did a blood lipase test and lo' and behold result came back "pancreatic insufficiency". our healthcare system is a real tragedy.
Many comments from medical students later complain about the lack of nutritional studies and how nutrition effects symptoms. The profession is swapped with symptom control while overlooking how food acts as a medicine. The failed food pyramid is a great example of this as it relates to obesity rates and metabolic syndromes like acquired (type 2) diabetes, now neurological type 3 diabetes (aka Alzheimer’s). I believe our abilities to accurately guide a physician can literally change this industry (the potential to anyways). It can be argued that pharmaceutical companies have found a way to multiply profit thru biased research and extravagant conferences aimed at the medical profession (making them dependent in a way). Apologies for the digressions but I went thru diabetic nutrition classes and my problems only got worse (and I have a biomedical undergrad in cardiology and neurology) until reviewing LCHF with Dr Berg 8 months ago. Now the food industry is responding with faux Keto labeling which will only confuse more. Sorry about the rant, I just feel robbed after so many years of bad advice from govt, pharmaceutical and food industries
Kay, Your history sounds similar to mine, For the heads up on the test you got from your doctor. Can you please tell me what brand of digestive enzymes you take and how many. I’ve been taking the same brand of digestive enzyme and I’ve heard you’re supposed to switch it up now and then. Not sure what brand to try next. Any replies would be appreciated.
My husband just found your channel and I'm so glad he did, he's ready for a lifestyle change and everything you've talked about in your videos about how bad sugar is for you and all the health issues he's been experiencing are most likely due to his insane consumption of sugar. He loves how you explain everything so he understands it. He said it's like you're speaking directly to him. We're cleaning out our cupboards this weekend and trying keto. He's excited to do this and make a change, I've never seen him so hopeful! We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for putting these videos out!
His broad knowledge amazes me. The medical field tries to "specialize" in an area but you need to know how all of the parts work together! Thank you Dr. Berg!

Omg when I i started listening to you around 6 years ago I bought your gallbladder formula. The first dose nothing happened but the second day when I took another one before bed. All I'll say is wow. It was like a plugged up sink being released. I felt like a totally new person. I love your gallbladder formula. Now I only take it when I need it. Oh yeah, for well over 30 years I had pain in my neck and shoulder. No longer. Thank you dear Dr Berg. Maybe I only needed to lose 30 to 40 lbs which I have. But, I am one of your success stories for sure. I am 62 113lb.s 5'3 woman. I feel better now then I did in my 30s and 40s
That's great. Glad I was able to help you. Is your success story already on my website? If not, feel free to upload it here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
Don't underestimate STRESS as one of the key issues with digestion - that as well as eating a proper diet, but even with a flawless diet and high stress the body doesn't function well.
Doctors removed my gall bladder in my early 20s cause they said it was non functioning. I've had trouble for years. Just had my chiropractor tell me I'm probably not producing enzymes. He gave me enzymes to take with food and it helped. My chiropractor... How did doctors not mention this ever?!
I had heartburn after consuming foods with high omega 3 which happens a lot. My mom directed me to take a digestive enzyme so i did and my heart burn immediately disappeared.. I am only 39 years old with several health issues. Born without a thyroid, I dangerously react to t3. I have fatty liver disease. Cysts on my adrenals, kidneys and ovaries. Low B12 and vitamin D. Irregular heartbeat. It just keeps adding up. I had a irregular heartbeat by the time I was 28 years. I am overwhelmed and slowly taking steps to improve my health by cutting out high fructose corn syrup
What gets me is in my late 30s and 40s, I would use the peppermint patties to calm the acid reflux which I didn't have much issues except for the Mexican lunch. What I do now is use the HCL for trying to fix the problem of absorption of minerals and better health. I believe in short term pills but not long term. Changing your diet is the cure (in my mind and eat healthier choices). The lack of soil minerals and natural bacteria in the soil seems to be the root cause on some of the issue with the grown food.
These were all my symptoms for years and 2-3 months ago I started doing fasting and change my dietary, my sleeping patterns, and back to gym. Now I no longer have those symptoms and going to the bathroom every morning.
After 10 years of suffering with stomach issues.. i’ve finally found the reason why 😭 Thank you so much for your help along the way ❤ this makes so much sense now
Low Stomach acid? 🥲 actually I am also relating his information my problem is with stomach acid from last 2 years like bloating , fermented digestion not regular bowel movement , constipation and diarrhea I didn't even had a single day or week a normal bind stool from last 2 years now today I immediately ordered Betaine Pepsin 🥲 . Will update if i get the results .
Dr. Berg shows us, how to stay healthy without medication by fasting, Keto, plenty of sleep, stress free, sunshine, exercise & taking vitamins. ❤ We love you!
I love your channel. I share it with all my friends and family. Your electrolyte powder is like no other. That stuff’s helped my mom with muscle cramps she suffers from having a muscle in her left quad removed to have a cancerous tumor removed from her knee. I made her drink one glass and within ten minutes she was pain free and ordered some for herself. It helps me with muscle cramps as well. I tell a lot of people about B1 bc of how much that has helped me as well. I’m glad you’re out there sharing a message that has increasingly become hard to find. Nutrition is king.
Three cheers for stomach acid! 🙌 Not only do you need HCl to activate pepsin, but you need the chyme leaving the stomach to be acidic in order to trigger enzyme release from the pancreas and bile release from the gallbladder. So, HCl is needed for ALL digestive enzyme function!
@@halimashahab6863 Betaine Hydrochloride, You can buy it quite cheaply in any health food store and Dr Berg recommends as many as four tablets before a meal or just as you start eating, but start with one. Namaste 🙏
@@tumbleweeduk7479 well, it's a little bit different, actually. HCl = Hydrochloric acid = naturally made stomach acid. Betaine HCl = a supplement that we often take to adjust/boost acidity in the stomach. Betaine by itself = Trimethylglycine (TMG) = a supplement that is sometimes used for methylation purposes.
Dr. Berg! I appreciate your videos very much. It’s amazing how you make this information freely available to us and you explain everything in a way that is easier to understand. Thank you for what you do
Yes, somewhere in this whole explanation (on the internet) is my diagnosis. BUT where are you going to find a doctor to even believe you and the long list of symptoms, to begin to start your specific treatment to finally get well again? Oh no, here I go on the search AGAIN. Thank you Dr. Berg. Your videos are so clear, they assists me in "learning" about how my body works. 💖
@@Drberghat about an over active gallbladder when you have an ejection fraction rate of 97 percent? They recommend removing but I don’t believe in cutting organs out my body especially when things are reversible. I had symptoms of constipation and heart palpitations, nerve and inflammation in the left foot which could be due to lower back but also inflammation in the eyes slightly and a slight watery feeling in the left eye due to the nerves in the gut being uneasy and under stress. Any idea on how to heal that naturally with herbs and supplements? Thank you for your response 🙏🏼
@DrEricBergDC I have to take lipase for low triglycerides. When I take a full spectrum enzyme I get hungry way more often like my food gets used ip so quickly. Any suggestions? Thank you for your wonderful ministry of health! Huge blessing!
This covered so much in such an easy-to-comprehend manner. Your videos have been invaluable to me. Re: Tudca, I finally got some online after talking to numerous health outlets and having them say, “Huh? What’s that?” Curious that this supplement is so unknown to so many.
No enough stomach acid indicates not enough unrefined salt. Sodium chloride along with potassium chloride release chloride ions in the presence of water to form hydrochloric acid. And older people are normally told to lower their salt intake by doctors and main stream media.
Ah Ha! Tests show low intracellular sodium. Nutritionist told me to put a pinch of sea salt in each glass of water, Someone else below suggested high cortisol levels, which may be the reason for the low intracellular sodium. And what is the reason for high cortisol? ---history of stress. Good detective work! Thanks all.
I started intermittent fasting about 2 months ago. I eat 3 fixed meals - 4 hours apart. For example: my first meal would be at 10am, second (small meal) 2pm and the last one at around 5:30pm. First and last meals are larger than the second meal in between. I do not snack. I eat eggs and avocados frequently (both have become my staple food). I no longer crave sugar, I cut it out almost completely. I exercise every day. My digestion has improved so so much, Im losing body fat and noticing some muscle growth and stiffness. I guess intermittent fasting works BEST for me, cause even if I exceed my calorie intake a bit, I still notice weight loss.. and digestion was always a big problem for me. Now it is perfect.
0:00: 🔍 Enzyme deficiency can lead to various digestive symptoms, primarily due to insufficient production of pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the stomach. 2:50: 🔑 Heartburn can be caused by a lack of stomach acid and a valve that doesn't close properly, while pancreatic enzyme insufficiency can lead to digestive problems. 5:51: ! Pancreatitis can be caused by gallstones or gallbladder sludge, which can lead to inflammation and enzyme deficiency. 8:55: 🔑 The video discusses the importance of lipase from the pancreas and the role of the gallbladder in digestion, as well as common symptoms of bile deficiency. 12:38: 🥗 Eating too much fiber can lead to nutritional deficiencies, digestive issues, and fermentation in the wrong part of the intestine. Recap by Tammy AI
Tammy AI didn't cite the last point correctly. Only when there is bacterial infection in the low intestines calked sibo may cause problems with consuming fiber.
This video sums up ME’! To a T! … narrowing bile ducts.? Can this show up on a MRCP and it’s infact ‘bile sludge’. ? Bile salt malabsorption showed up 7 years ago.. prescribed colesavelam, but that stopped. … I dont remember why. I’ve had SIBO 3 times! And my GI doctors don’t believe me that I have no stomach acid… I take 9 HCL with a meal! … and doctor bergs gallbladder formula! …this has solved my Hypoglycaemia… ❤ I wish my GI consultants would watch this video!! 🙏 THANKYOU AGAIN! Outstanding work! So grateful 😊
How does one know exactly what one has? And what to take? I’ve read ppl saying that they’ve gotten sick taking ox bile, HCI, etc because they probably didn’t need it.
I’m so glad you mentioned TUDCA! I hope you’ll make a whole video about it, as it has so many applications, is very safe to take and it’s been used in Chinese medicine forever... we need to hear more about it on this side of the pond! 🙌🏻🤗
@I'm happy "Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, more commonly referred to as TUDCA, is a bile salt that is found natrually occurring in the body. When regular bile salts reach the intestines, they can be metabolized by bacteria into UDCA and then later bound to a taurine molecule to become TUDCA."
@@km-bo3zx can anyone take it ? I have undiagnosed stomach issues for 6 months so trying to heal my stomach naturally by myself since doctors have become very useless ( UK)
@@yvamaks17_ I get your point, but doctors becoming very useless might not have needed the bracketed addendum. Maybe, (everywhere) might have been accurate too.
Doctor Berg this video is great so much explanation about causes of early physical disorders of digestive problems related to enzyme deficiency. I was wondering if there is an enzyme test that can really determine the deficiency of enzymes. Thank you very much. 🌷Greetings from the Netherlands🌷
I was not digesting my food and actually was becoming malnourished. I added digestive enzymes and I’m feeling so much better the bloat diarrhea/constipation fatigue and weakness have all sorted out. Thanks for all your great advice and knowledge Dr Berg Organika Full Spectrum plant enzymes is what I take
@@MomofBoys1115 the ones I know are. Digest Gold by Enzymedica NOW foods digestive enzymes Klaire labs enzymes called VITALZYMES COMPLETE ( these are really really good but a bit pricey)
Same this past month has been a game-changer. l always had right side pain after a meal especially fats and also during long fasts. Now just adding Digestive enzymes has made my life better.
This is a very informative video just as most all of his videos are. A lot to be taken in here. However one thing I must remind my brothers and sisters about is the fact that there’s a bunch of bodily issues we’re all learning about, but we’ve got to be mindful as to why and what the root cause(s) are, because if you end up watching these videos everyday which is actually a really good idea, you must keep in mind the plethora of vitamins and other supplements that are now being ingested into the body… too much is not a good thing and we know this. So it’s wise to not ignore this fact. By now you may probably be eating pills for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner… and possibly a late evening snack. The vitamin and supplement companies have skyrocketed ten fold in the last couple of years and it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. My point is, be mindful and think think think… on your own without it being done for you. If you are to cut back and/or eliminate all vitamins and other pills and supplements whatever is next for you to do in order to heal your body? Well I can tell you this… FOR SURE sugar and refined carbohydrates MUST MUST MUST be eliminated from the diet and from within the body. It is simply a poison that wreaks havoc on the body from the inside out… inflammation being a big problem. If you’re noticing issues on the outside of the body you can rest assured the inside is doing far worse. Outside of the body issues can be anything from barely able to eat without feeling sick and full, aches and pains in joints and back, dandruff, psoriasis etc. After the elimination process the body begins to heal and a few herbs and supplements can very well aid in the body’s recovery process. Just my two cents and a little food for thought.
Thank you for your generous and helpful videos! But There’s something I just don’t get: I have SIBO (did breath test analysis) and I feel much better avoiding high FODMAP foods. But “fiber” as in green salad and some other veggies, never bothered me, I actually eat tons of it every day. So I don’t understand when some say “avoid FIBER if you have SIBO”. I’m not 100% sure that’s accurate. Any idea why I can tolerate green leafy vegetables when I have clearly have/had SIBO symptoms all of my life?
I have a few things to add from my research to this excellent video. In some people who can’t tolerate Betaine HCL it’s from the Betaine having 3 methyl molecules and find it’s too much along with methylated supplements, like with certain B vitamin brands. HCL drops (with no Betaine) work well. Another thing that can make the pancreas not function well are parasites, most notably pancreatic flukes that come from not cooking beef well enough. This is from Dr Hulda Clark’s research. She claimed that a diabetic who did a thorough parasite cleanse along with eliminating wood alcohol artificial sweeteners (that feed the flukes) could cut the amount of insulin injection by half. I found that worked for a family member.
CBD severed during gallbladder removal, Roux N Y repair has caused significant issues since. Been over 23 years, and suffered from medical malnutrition and anorexia. Just recently, figured out a nutritional plan that is working, but this video helped understand why things weren’t. Thank you.
The timing of these supplements matters too. Pancreatic enzymes and bile are released into the small intestine, and they neutralize the stomach acid coming down from your stomach. So you can’t really take Betaine HCL and digestive enzymes and bile at the same time or you risk making the acid less acidic. I prefer enteric coated enzymes for this reason (prescription pancreatic enzymes are often enteric coated). Also the acid could potentially hinder the other supplements. I’d be happy if someone could prove me wrong. No one ever talks about this.
Thanks for sharing this nugget! This sounds very important as it could completely nullify one’s efforts. Would be great if Dr Berg could do a video on “pills/supplements” to take and timing throughout the day as it relates to meals, etc.
I take pancreatin and digestive enzymes, I was about to take betaine HCl but I am having second thoughts now, I wonder if I should the pancreatin first then Betaine HCL
Exactly my question. So prescription Creon enteric coated enzymes are designed to bypass the stomach and dissolve in the small intestines where it can aid digestion. CREON needs an acid stomach in order to not dissolve prematurely in the stomach. An alkaline stomach can make CREON dissolve prematurely. I learned this the hard way when I ate water mellon with CREON. Water mellon is one of the alkaline foods to be avoided when taking CREON. If on CREON, at the beginning of meal you can take 2Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a shot glass of water (sip through straw to protect teeth) because CREON needs acid . I don't know about non-prescription pancreatic enzymes and would like to get the answer. Perhaps the apple cider vinegar would be taken away from meals. I was told that Tudca is not actually a source of bile. Instead, it supports bile production. So my nutritionist said ithe timing is not critical for when during a meal of when to take Tudca.
@@abirajNYC Pure Encapsulations and Thorne are high-quality Betaine HCL with Pepsin. Standard Process is also a great brand (and made in the USA). I've had great luck using all three of these brands.
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah-One ˹and Indivisible˺;1 Allah, the Eternal Refuge. Allah-the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺2. He has never had offspring, nor was He born 3 And there is none comparable to Him.” 4
I tested my ph at a time when I was starting to have problems and it was 8. I went on to have every single one of the problems, bouncing between constipation and diarrhea and losing so much weight. Then I got a toe nail fungus. All after I took an antibiotic. Didn't even finish the course because of what I read about the antibiotic. I recently tried to take a table spoon of olive oil every day, because I don't eat a lot of fat, but that did not go well. Have lost so much hair, I just knew it was because I wasn't absorbing the nutrients. Let's hear a great round of applause for the Rx companies that make these stupid antibiotics.
I had an appendectomy 5 years ago, seemingly no complications. I was told it is a useless organ but I’m questioning that as I watch your videos….seems nothing in the human body is useless, it’s such a miraculous machine. Should I be compensating with an enzyme?
I am lost. I don’t digest my food properly, I feel it there many hours after eating . Don’t have gas , bloating, burping, or loose or hard stool and not floating. Don’t fell tired or any other symptoms for that manner just feeling my food there and not loosing weight ( carnivore)
I love you Dr. Berg! You really help me understand my own body and health. You’re an excellent Doctor and Teacher! I really love the products on your website too. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Those that consume pasteurized fruit juice and pasteurized dairy, cooked seed oils, grain-fed beef, etc, will continue to have enzyme deficiency. So supplements will not help you. The answer is in Whole Food nutrition combined with intuitive eating. Don’t let anyone give you a food regiment! Or a list of supplements…..
Thanks a lot for this video Sir. Again very informative and well explained. Sir we have nowdays a social problem called alcoholism. Some go to rehab and detoxify but some don't. They keep on adding this dangerous habitual behaviour in their lifestyles. I have a request if you can address this situation and help those who are addictive and want a advice on how to improve the system whilest leaving this bad habit gradually. It will be really helpful to know what our body went through and how our digestive system works and what to add more in diet and vitamins to have a good energy levels. Thank you again Sir for your work.
Dear Dr. Berg, thanks for the video! It's a good summary of the work of our digestive system. I have a question about pain on the left side around 6th or 7th rib. The pain occurs if I don't eat for more than 3-4 hours and then goes away after food. This is very confusing because I have been following keto plan with intermittent fasting for about 3 years now. And I've been feeling great and had no issues with 2 or 1 meal a day. Could you please suggest me how to solve the problem or what I should look into deeper? Thank you!
I just started taking Betaine HCl but not with Pepsin. Some info suggests that Pepsin is important but I don't see it prioritized very highly here. Should I include Pepsin?
Another great video by our favourite doctor. For SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, I take 2 capsules of digestive enzymes with each meal until my symptoms subside -Usually about 3/4days. Digestive enzymes can be bought from any health supplement shops, but they are VERY expensive. Word of advice, keep off the carbs and dairy products, microbes THRIVE on carbohydrates especially sugars. Go CARNIVORE until the symptoms subside. For ppl who prefer natural remedies, again talking from personal experience, crush 2 cloves of garlic and swallow after each meal, followed by 2 glasses of water. If you can't stomach fresh garlic, then there are supplements of garlic oil capsules available - again very expensive. What are the benefits of Garlic? - Antimicrobial - Antifungal - help regulate Tachycardia - help regulate blood pressure - help with kidney problems So pleased for this natural panacea for so many ailments. Last advice, stay off processed foods and foods with sugars and additives. Filtered water isn't bacteria -free, contrary to popular belief. I learnt that by personal experience. Unfortunately with gut problems, comes mental health problems like depression and irrationality, therefore you may also need SSRIs until the symptoms subside. It doesn't need saying that anyone with digestive problems should really be careful with what they eat/drink. Stay healthy everyone! 👌
I have calcium deposits in my pancreas Dr Berg and i take Creon 25,000 because my pancreas isn't digesting fats and i can honestly say i think this video is going to make my life a whole lot better.. I'm going to buy the stuff you recommended and give you an update! Thank you so much 🙏
Dr. Berg, you really should mention what happens if you take Betaine Hydrochloride and you don’t need it… like irregular heartbeat. Not fun - If you need it… great.
Thanks Dr Berg, I will add also that with these problems there could possibly be a mismanagement of fats which leads to fatty liver, event more decreased enzymes, and a lower ability to detoxify... further adding damage if not corrected.
Thank you Dr Berg. I have learned so much from you. Here in the UK, our NHS is clueless - the recommendation is to eat 'more' pasta, rice and potatoes! I haven't been able to eat those for a very long time, and don't plan to! One question... I can identify problems with all five areas in this video, and have been diagnosed with gallstones. I am already taking Betaine HCL, Tudca, eating a carnivore diet and IF. You have said here Tudca is "a form of bile salts". Is Tudca sufficient, or should additional ox bile be taken as well?
Found taking both TUDCA and Dr Berg’s Gallbladder formula more effective regarding gallbladder issues (cholestasis). Not sure how more starch would help… just doesn’t make sense unless you wanted to exploit people with costly procedures in the future
Hello Diane, you dont need to take Ox Bile with Tudca but you will be a lot better off if you take Betaine Hydrochlric Acid with Pepsin kombo together with Tudca. And I usually alternate 3 mohths on Tudca and 3 months on Ox Bile. If your digestive problems are not extreme and gallbladder is not overly inflammed this treatment rejimen will be enough. But for someone without a gallbladder and on Keto and IF I add to the aforementioned digestive enzimes as well. Works as a charm and my liver enzymes are excellent and diverticulitis resolved in matter of 2 years. I also had an advanced IR that resolved as well. Hope this helps.
Excellent information, as always! -My mother, 89 years old, suffers from bloating, always feeling full and too much *CONSTIPATION.* -I think her stomach is not to acidity, so just started giving her: -Betaine HCL➡ 10 min before the meal and...... -Ox Bile Salt ➡immediately after the meal. I want to know if:🤔🤔🤔 -Giving her these two meds (before and after the meal) are going to help her with her bloating and *CONSTIPATION* or...... if I should only give her Betaine HCL or give her only Ox Bile???? 🤔🤔🤔 -Or maybe you suggest me someting different!!! (👀I am going to start giving her Nutritional yeast & Benfotiamine/Vitamin B1👍). Thanks!!! (Sorry for my English, l am from Puerto Rico🇵🇷)
can you please make a video on brewing saffron leaves/ making saffron tea/ the benefits/cons/ is it safe/ how much are you allowed to consume. thank you, i learn so much from your videos!
Wow...more good stuff. This past year I have changed and implemented your advice bcz I was dying from my digestion system not working properly bcz of of nerves shot and the h. Pylori virus was able to do a lot of damage. I haven't taken any medication for over 20yrs and learned to eat healthy etc... but I had a very stressful life and some key traumatic events happened to me that just wore me down and I wasn't paying attention to it and got depleted and depressed and started eating things I shouldn't etc... perfect storm...and then bang... I thought I was dying from a heart attack but 3 times to the ER they finally said I have an inflamed stomach and fatty liver . Dr wanted to give me some lidocaine and malox... I don't even know if that's the right spelling... but I told him sorry I don't take that stuff, but thank you for finding what's wrong and I will research natural healing. He actually rolled his eyes... I was already watching your videos etc so I knew you would be the help The LORD sent me. The Bible says "MY people perish bcz of lack of knowledge and rejected knowledge..." Hosea 4:6
Dr Berg, I hope you see this! Can you do, or do you have a video on adrenal insufficiency, as it relates to abdominal pain, and inability to digest properly, and constipation?
I like Dr. Wilson's Adrenal Rebuilder. He provides an easy-to-follow protocol for rebuilding adrenals. Of course, you would need to address stress and follow Dr. Berg's digestion suggestions.
I wish I'd found your channel before they took my gallbladder away, I have had none stop problems since, they are now doing all kinds of tests to figure out what is going on and why I am losing so much weight, after watching your videos and doing some research, cutting out someone of the medications they put me on and replacing them with enzymes, vitamins etc I have managed to stabilize the weight loss to less than .5kg a week and am feeling so much healthier, energy is rising, food is actually digesting without much problem - life is getting back on track, thank you so very very much NB: I take 'Seven seas perfect 7 plus for woman vitamins' and 'Nature's aid digestive enzyme complex'

I usually take 1 tbls of organic apple cider vinegar with the mother diluted in water to drink 10 minutes before meals. Also squeezing fresh lemon juice in water can help.
Incredible how this video got suggested by YT. How long should you take the HCL? Will the body fix this after a while, so you don’t have to take them anymore? And is it recommended to take the Ox Bile together with the HCL? 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I wrote you on your fan page about this very thing yesterday. Heartburn during keto and fasting. You are my hero and have given me my health back in so many ways with your information sharing. So much gratitude for you Dr. Berg!🙏💕
I find that sipping on apple cider vinegar after meals, especially mixing it into hot water helps a lot if you believe you have acid insufficiency. Avoid getting your kidneys and liver area cold after meals (bundle up!), chew slowly and throughly, try having something bitter and acidic in each meal (lime juice, sauerkraut, frisée, arugula...). I also take enzymes with ox bile and betaine (New Roots brand). There’s many things to suggest as I’m a Nutritionist who does keto/intermittent fasting, but the biggest thing which makes a difference avoiding reflux is definitely the apple cider vinegar after meals - or I squeeze a lime or two in water with a lil’ stevia, yum! 😊
In India we take 5 tea spoons of castor oil empty stomach early morning once in a 6 months, which cleans whole digestion path with 4 to 5 flushings. Those 2 days people are supposed to be on light food like rice porridge buttermilk
Fascinating and important information. Now to figure out which labs to ask my Doc to order. 🙏 I can get to the bottom of my symptoms. Our digestive system is EVERYTHING. Thank you Dr Berg, your helping me speaking with my Doc, hopefully he's considering my input in respect to my health. Surgeon, as far as my symptoms, she got nothing for answers other then advised me to try Metamucil. She said if we slow down digestion, my body would have more time to absorb calories and nutrients. Due the the nature of the surgery she did and now I've got issues I never had before. My digestive system is unbalanced and it's affecting so many other things in my entire body. Again, seems to me that our digestive system isn't separate from our bodies, it's EVERYTHING. Yeah, I have malnutrition bc if I didn't, I would be absorbing calories and nutrients. Stared with my stomach, ACV seems to definitely helping. Still need more answers... dealing with these Doc.s is exhausting. Believe it or not, I think my dentist is making the most sense, I've got gum disease and it needs to be addressed ( way to much bacteria within my gums ), as I chew and swallow, all that bacteria is going into my digestive system. Could very well be the root cause. Makes sense to me... still searching for answers. Thanks again Dr Berg, this is a intricate system and I've been doing a lot of research for months bc last face it, Doctors don't have the time. They're busy. LOL 😂
the bacteria from gum disease can be lethal - talk with your dentist about this bacteria as it's a type that if it escapes into the bloodstream one of the first places it goes to is your heart! -
HI dr.Berg.I start to take Tudca 3 week ago because I have right shoulder pain .I take 2 in the empty stomach in the morning and afternoon. No pain !!thank you
Hi Dr. Berg, I take metformin because my fasting glucose was 115. I manage to get it under 100, now fasted 93. Still kinda high so the doc still has me on Metformin. I also have PCOS. I started exercising again and I notice I can't build muscle. I think I am burning protein instead of fat and carbs when I exercise. I notice my sweat smells metallic or like metal/blood. Is this possible? Is this a medical condition? if my body is burning protein first and not fat or carbs how can I prevent this? Any information on this will be greatly appreciated. If there is no such thing I am thankful you read this comment anyways.
