now this is a really really important topic if you have Gerd acid reflux heartburn or bloating gas any digestive symptoms this video is very very important now one of the first things that people normally do when they have acid reflux is they go to their doctor and they get it evaluated and then they’re put on a medication usually a PPI or some type of antacid which suppresses the acid now at first it might seem logical you have this acid in your stomach we got to get rid of it right but the question is what causes acid reflux well if you look it up it’ll say that acid reflux comes from the valve on the top of the stomach not closing properly all right well that’s cool but what causes that valve not to be able to close well they don’t really know right and then my question is okay you’re going to put give me a medication how long am I going to be on this is it going to correct my problem what happens when I start the medication and come off are there rebound effects is it safe well for certain ppis uh long-term effects are really bad osteoporosis increased risk of cancer increased risk of gallstones increased risk of sibo small intestinal bacterial overgrowth increased risk of anemia increased risk of allergies and the list goes on and on so you always want to ask how long am I going to be on these beds for is it going to be indefinitely and what are the long-term problems and what is the underlying cause of the problem these are things that a lot of people don’t really ask and they don’t find out about I recently talked to a lady who was on I mean she’s fairly young I think she’s in her early 30s and she’s on eight medications right and she doesn’t feel well I mean how the heck are you going to know what is causing what what is creating different effects I mean I’m not against poison I’m sorry medication but when you’re on that many medications it’s bound to create all sorts of issues making you not feel good but when we’re talking about ppis anything that suppresses the acid you really want to think twice before getting that medication but of course I need to give you a disclaimer check with your doctor before taking any of my advice so why don’t doctors recommend apple cider vinegar well mainly there’s not a lot of studies in relationship to acid reflux or gerd using apple cider vinegar that’s the big reason who’s going to invest that much money to do a study because there’s not a lot of profit in selling apple cider vinegar it’s a very very inexpensive on drugs yes but outside of vinegar no now as far as myself being in practice for 30 years I’ve run into thousands of patients who had acid reflux who tried apple cider vinegar and got great results of course that’s not a study but it’s uh my own personal observation that it really really works so we’re talking about this acid an apple cider vinegar okay it’s called acetic acid in fact these little bacteria acetic acid bacteria live on rapes they live on different foods especially when that grape becomes ripened okay and then when they make wine they’re going to turn that grape sugar into alcohol but during that fermentation process they’re going to remove oxygen because one thing about the acetic acid bacteria is they can’t live with oxygen and that’s how you kill them but if you allow this fermentation process with the conversion from grapes into alcohol to get oxygen it eventually just turns right into vinegar now there’s some really really important things to know about the stomach so if you’ve checked out check back in right now because this is very important number one the normal pH of someone’s stomach should be between one and three that is extremely acid okay that’s normal so when someone says that you have too much acid and your stomach uh what actually are they talking about I mean normal acid is that is acid as you can go like one to three so what does this mean someone has too much acid with acid reflux or gerd so acid reflux heartburn and gerd are really not a situation where you have too much acid you just have acid in the wrong place you have it in the esophagus the acid should be in the stomach okay so the real problem is that valve right well that’s a kind of a secondary problem a deeper problem is the pH in your stomach is not one to three it’s higher it’s more alkaline it’s not as acid as it should be and there’s a sensing mechanism between the level of pH in the stomach and your valve on the top of the stomach they’re both in communication and so just think about it it’s it’s logical that if you eat like meat or something you need all that acid right and you don’t need the acid refl flexing so that valve closes tightly if the acid reaches a certain pH you need it very very acid in the stomach and the valve will close so the real underlying cause behind gerd acid reflux and usually bloating okay and heartburn is that your strength of the acid the pH of the acid is not between one and three it might be higher four five six even seven the stuff in your stomach is not just acid you have other things you have an enzyme okay it’s usually an inactive enzyme and then it converts to an active enzyme pepsin is the active enzyme that gets activated with acid that’s a very powerful protein enzyme okay that’s one of the purposes of your stomach is to digest protein you don’t want that enzyme up in your esophagus why because your esophagus is also a protein okay so it’ll start dissolving yourself we don’t want that now what makes that enzyme active is the pH being acid okay very acid if that solution is to alkaline the enzyme will not become active it stays inactive so another question is what type of acid stimulates the active form of this enzyme peptase well does it have to be Hydrochloric like in your stomach well actually no it can be another acid it can be apple cider vinegar acetic acid because that acid has a very low PH okay now this also relates to some other data about the stomach having your stomach acid be between one and three also will help release bile okay now if you can’t release bile from the liver and the gallbladder what happens is that you tend to get gallstones this is why one of the big side effects from antacids and ppis is gallstones now we have pepsin which is activated by acid but there’s other enzymes too from your pancreas enzymes that help you digest carbohydrates to digest fats so when you don’t have enough acid in your stomach you’re going to get less enzymes released from the pancreas and less digestion also you need this strong acid in your stomach to be able to absorb not just minerals but also trace minerals and vitamins as well so you become very nutrient deficient when you don’t have the strong pH in your stomach the other purpose of this acid is to kill pathogens coming in from the body as well as to kill bacteria so the bacteria doesn’t end up in your small intestine and create a situation called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth where you have these microbes living in your small intestine and competing for nutrition from your your food and leaving you with a lot of problems especially bloating and gas and all sorts of issues now the other problem with not enough stomach acid is that you might get anemia because you can’t absorb iron and B12 adults there’s this other thing that gets activated with this strong stomach acid it’s called the intrinsic factor which I don’t want to really get into but just realize that if you don’t have enough stomach acid you’re not going to be able to absorb B12 which can create all sorts of issues with not just anemia but a lot of neurological problems that can be irreversible okay in certain cases the other point about not having enough stomach acid is that can increase your risk of H pylori becoming a problem normally about 80 percent of the population has H pylori in t
