What can I do if I have bloating, constipation and acid reflux?

One of the main purposes of the stomach is to break down proteins and absorb minerals. It needs to be very acid. If the pH of the stomach is not acid enough, you won’t be able to release bile from the gallbladder. Bile is a fluid that helps you break down fats, and it extracts fat-soluble vitamins and helps you absorb fatty acids. So, in this situation, there is a primary stomach problem, and a secondary gallbladder problem causing bloating. 

Making enzymes is one of the main things the pancreas does regarding digestion. Enzymes break down food. If the stomach is not acid enough, you can’t release bile, and you can’t release the pancreas. So, you have undigested food that rots and sits in the stomach. This can cause stomach pain, bloating, and constipation. 

If the pH isn’t strong enough, you can also get a situation where the valve at the top of the stomach won’t close, causing acid reflux. Acid reflux is really a situation where you don’t have enough acid. 

What you could do: 

• Gallbladder formula 

• Apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride
