Betaine Hcl And Bicarbonate Protocol

Betaine HCL and Bicarbonate Protocol Questions

Posted by Lyndal (Auckland, N.Z.) on 08/29/2016

Hi,

this is a question for Bill ( but maybe someone else know the answer)

I have been taking Betaine HCI for my low stomach acid problem. I have also been doing Ted's protocol for balancing PH ( I'm taking a mix of sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate as I have very low potassium for some reason) I also think I'm low in bicarbonates.

My question is, if I have a meal and take my Betaine HCI with it and then one hour later take my bicarbonate mix would this not cause a problem because cholecystokinin would not be produced by the duodenum walls because the food coming from the stomach would not be acid enough to trigger the process ( because I've taken the bicarbonate mix). Bill, I know you say that after half an hour of eating most of the digestion in the stomach is done but how long does the food sit in your stomach before emptying out to your duodenum because my stomach still feels full for a couple of hours after eating ( longer if I've had a high protein meal).

Hope I'm making sense.

Many thanks.

Hi All,

I have another question that someone might be able to help me with.

I seem to be very low in potassium and no matter how much high potassium foods I eat or potassium tablets I take, I'm still low.

Could this have something to do with low stomach acid?? And if so, why?

Many thanks, Lyndal
