Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain the top signs of a digestive enzyme deficiency. I’ll see you in the next video.
Will the Tudca work of you have cist in the bile duct?
@cindywills5003 I totally agree with the excruciating pain of pancreatitis comment you made. I had acute pancreatitis for about 9 months which my doctor kept telling me was indigestion. I ended up being rushed into hospital and had a 70% pancreatic necrosectomy performed.
Thank you for all the great info. that you share thank you
I love watching your podcasts 
Would any of this like a slow digestive system screw up bowl movements
Can any of the issues mentioned in the video cause estrogen dominace? I have suffered with slow motility (every 3-4 days on average) with clear digestive issues fir a long time and was wondering why i have developed gynecomastia out of nowhere in my late 20s despite having a clean diet without drugs yet my doctor say my hormones look normal. It doesnt make sense…
if anyone have sibo then how get probiotics? cause you said that dont consume probiotics if have sibo
But what do you do if your gall bladder was removed?
Is it okay to supplement enzymes long term? Ive had my gallbladder removed.
I tried the acid and it made everything worse. Horrible pains and acid reflux. Carnivore saved me
I don’t tolerate fat, every time i eat it i have abdominal pain. I want to test betain hydrochloride but i am afraid to do something wrong to my digestive system, which is already sick. Shall i do a test first before having it or it is fine to test it for some days and then see ?
I take hcl amino acids and enzymes but have to use mastic gum and aloe vera to stop the burning in my stomach and throat until it settles down.i was on ppi for 35yrs. So damage needs reversing. Can be done.
My husband has thalassemia minor snd is taking hydroxy chloroquine to keep sarcoidosis in remission
Got my goldblader removed years back started getting extremely blotting,side rib pain,gut noises, i went to my doctor,emergency, and gastroenterology all said i had acid reflex and just take prilosec i dirent for 6 months i was dealing with this symptoms until i found DR berg and stated taking digestive enzymes and HCI cured all my symptoms
thank you DR berg 
Can you take HCL acid powder alone?
Man, Dr. Berg can you suggest anything for nursing moms!?! Can’t find anything regarding this issue…. And what to do with nursing.
What is also important to mention is hypothyroidism, which can be the root cause of low stomach acid. But as mentioned in this video, the best solution is carnivore + intermittent fasting.
Wil digestive enzymes irretate an ulcer if so how to increase my acid in the stomach to break down meat if I’m doing carnivore pls help
What should people with barretts esophagus do? We are told by our doctors we MUST STAY ON PPIs or else risk esophagus cancer.
Can the Tudca push a gallstone into a valve and get it wedged in so it creates a blockage or does it dissolve the gallstone?
So i have to study and watch videos to figure out my problem.Isnt that the drs job?
Wow alot and good inf thanks
EMF can destroy enzymes including WiFi,cell phones , cell towers, satellites dish signals, and dirty electricity. Stay safe!
Found this video very helpful. I have pancreatitis no gallbladder for weeks now I’ve had diarrhea every day I’m having tests done I hope it just enzymes and that an be treated.
Amazing
I am so thankful for Dr. Berg, but man it really stirs up my emotions when I learn that either my doctors over 30 years were ignorant or simply complicit with big Pharma. I have had numerous doctors try to pressure me into taking acid blockers without ever considering that rather than having too much stomach acid, I just might have too little or maybe not the right PH levels. They knew I was struggling with chronic constipation. This has been going on for nearly 30 years! One doctor told me I had a lazy colon, with no thoughts on how to change it. One doctor recommended a colonoscopy and found nothing significant. That’s when I followed up with an Herbalife representative and went all in on their supplement line. When I stopped his prescription regimen that doctor told me he wouldn’t treat me any longer.
I lost 75lbs in 7 months reducing carb intake, increasing protein to 50-60% of my calories. I couldn’t digest raw vegetables so I ate little to no vegetables. Again my doctors didn’t think that my lack of ability to digest raw vegetables was worth looking in to. Once the weight loss stopped, so did my diet. I lost interest in it and I gained nearly everything back within a 2 years.
I went to a GI specialist who told me that I had Chronic Idiopathic Constipation, meaning constipation with ‘NO CAUSE’. I started having gallbladder issues right after my first child was born in 1993 at age 18 and finally my gallbladder was no longer functioning 16 years later and it was removed. During the operation some gallstones were left behind and caused my bile duct to get clogged within 1 week of the surgery. I called the doctors office that did the surgery and was told if it was serious I should just go to the ER. It was serious, my intestines quit moving, I ended up having a 2nd surgery to put a stent in my bile duct, which lead to a 3rd surgery to remove the stent, which had fallen out. I struggled with sludge for months afterwards. I was told that my gallbladder was a nonessential organ.
Fast forward 31 years after my first symptoms of gallbladder issues, I am more than 50 pounds overweight based on BMI calculation. Ironically I have been more overweight but they put me on Ozempic for Diabetes in 2020 and I lost 30 lbs. I have struggled with about 10-12 lbs of weight that goes up and comes back down, but I never really lose anything more. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, 8 years ago. In addition to that I have borderline high cholesterol, a heart murmur, my kidneys have been showing signs of struggling in recent months, (frothy urine) my doctors convinced me not to eat eggs for months. I have an enlarged liver (CT scan in 2017, the doctor didn’t think it was worthy of a conversation) and I struggle with an inflamed liver worried my blood work will show I have a fatty liver again (January 2020, by May 2020 blood test show normal numbers and my doctor started me on Ozempic).
My doctors have routinely pressured me into taking a Statin since 2018. I had a bad reaction to every Statin they tried. I was diagnosed with PCOS, Chronic Idiopathic Non-Allergic Rhinitis, (I also have night time vision issues which is blamed on my Diabetes, no one thought to check my vitamin A levels). My constipation and acid reflux issues actually got a little better 7 years ago when I had the Mirena IUD placed because I had irregular menstrual cycles and they were concerned with thickness of my uterine lining, advising me I was at risk for endometriosis. Mirena, doesn’t have any synthetic estrogen in it. It tricks the body into producing less estrogen.
It’s been an endless cycle of thinking my doctors held all the information. I know differently now. I am now supplementing with vitamins and minerals since becoming more educated through Dr. Berg’s content. I have stopped eating ultra processed carbs, in fact I have cut out all processed foods in the last 5 weeks. I make my meals from scratch whenever possible, then I can control what goes into my body. I can finally consider that I will be healthy someday. It is my goal to be off all prescription drugs by the end of 2025. I really feel like I am finally on the right track!!
THANK YOU DR. BERG!!
I have low amylase is this the same? And should we go low or no carb when having low amylase levels
Dr. Berg, I just got test results for having a high number of Gastrin serum at 126. Do you have a video about this?
Thank you for providing remedies. But how long and how much should be taken if we do all of the remedies?
wow this is so accurate
And yet omeprazole (Prilosec) and other proton pump inhibiting drugs are automatically prescribed for GERD. Horrible.
Doc..pls do a section on gastric bypass surgery..and lots of people have had gall bladder removed…..
I need help I have lost sooo much weight due to gerd and indigestion.
As a person that is going through pancreas pain right now, Dr, Berg was the first person I wanted to hear from. I have to say this at least a few time a year: can we please bubble wrap Dr. Berg
Does anyone remember when Dr Mercola was the go to guy for nutrition advice? Anyway on his website about 20 years ago he explained that heartburn was a case of not having strong enough stomach acid and the industries response of using Roll-Aids and Tums or that famous prosciption ( I forget its name) for it was the opposite of what you should be doing. Then I hear this Dr say the same thing 20 years later. Dr Mercola was so spot on on so many things.
Where can I get your medicine?
