We all have that relative whose fart smells sooo bad that it clears a four story building. You know who I am talking about! 🙂
What is actually happening is the digested proteins are not breaking down correctly because the stomach acids are low or absent – achlorhydria (complete absence of HCL) or hypochlorhydria (diminished HCL). There is a gas building up from the proteins and that is where the farting is coming from. If you don’t have [Read more…]
Wonder why your stomach is bloated hours after meals? You have a need for the correct hydrochloric acid (HCL) in the stomach environment and there is a pancreatic dysfunction.

Antacids! If you take these long-term you will become protein deficient (MORE problems with your stomach and stomach acids), iron anemic, susceptible to osteoporosis, and splitting and weak nails. Antacids should only be taken for 2 weeks not bought in bulk!
Check your hydrochloric acids (HCL) by doing this: mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 4 oz of water. Drink before a meal (on an empty stomach). If this causes any burning, it is an indication of a ulcer. If there is no burning, you are deficient in HCL and need good digestive support. Schedule a clinical nutrition evaluation today!
