Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast.

Where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing

healthy weight.

Hey guys, today we're going to talk about something quite interesting, the relationship between

vitamin B3 and your stomach acid.

Now I've done a lot of videos on stomach acid and acid reflux and the gallbladder and digestion.

And I've also recommended that you take Alpsative Inegre or Betaine Hyde Chloride to help you

with low stomach acid, which is very common.

But I haven't talked about vitamin B3 helping that condition.

So let's first start out with talking about what are the symptoms when you don't have

enough acid in your stomach.

First of all, you're not going to absorb minerals that well.

So you might be deficient in iron or calcium or any of the minerals.

Okay, number two, decreased amino acid absorption.

This can show up in many things from hair loss to loose skin to an incomplete digestion

of protein that causes gas.

Okay, next one, leaky gut, which can lead to allergies.

Then we get probably the most common one, which is just bloating in general or even abdominal

pain and acid reflux.

Cebow, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth occurs as well when you have low stomach acid.

And that's where you have bacteria growing in the wrong place.

It's growing in the small intestine, not the large.
