The Best Way to Know if You Have Low Stomach Acid
- 5 years ago
Today, we're going to talk about the best way to know if you have low stomach acid.
The top three indicators of low stomach acid are:
1. Indigestion
2. Gas
3. Heartburn when you eat
What is the point of stomach acid?
1. Breakdown proteins
2. Kill pathogens
3. Absorb minerals and B12
GERD, as well as the symptoms like indigestion, gas, and heartburn, is usually caused by low stomach acid. When you have these problems, you're typically given an antiacid. Antiacids will make you feel better temporarily, but the next time you eat the issues will become worse and worse. A few side effects of antiacids are even the same symptoms you're trying to get rid of.
A simple solution to help improve stomach acid levels:
• Take a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water before you eat.
• Take the natural supplement betaine hydrochloride. Take 4-6 tablets before a meal. You will need less over time.
You also need to eat healthy because stomach acid is created from other nutrients. Over time you will build up your hydrochloric acid, and these symptoms will go away because your digestion is better.
