Does everyone remember that video of the Florida doctor saying if you got the vaccine and you were OK afterwards, you were basically lucky? He then said one of the possible reasons you were OK is because you may not have had a lot of stomach acid. Ever since i watched that video, I have wondered if thats why i had a 2 week spell of Covid.. or whatever it was.. i never tested myself.. but im curious about something, if stomach acid is a contributing factor to a worse outcome with the spike protein, then why would a medicine such as prilosec, which is suppose to lessen stomach acid, be marked online as something to stay away from when talking about covid. I googled the words prilosec and covid and the first couple of results were very straightforward to stay away from this drug. I just got prescribed it.. im sure its over the counter as well.. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

One of the down and dirty ways I checked patients to see if they had a low acid problem was to give them apple cider vinegar. They were always surprised when their indigestion almost immediately subsided. Then they would let out a very embarrassing belch. Oh what a relief!
Yes, the Enzymatic Therapy products are probably the best enzymes out there - especially the Digest Gold. This product has 5 different proteases meaning that it can cleave proteins at 5 different sites to help break them down. That is one of the big problems with low acid. The stomach needs acid in order to begin the process of breaking proteins down. When proteins are not completely digested, they remain in bigger pieces and if there is a leaky gut situation, the intestines takes up those large chunks of protein and they act like allergens in the body. Enzymatic therapies can do some remarkable stuff when done right.
The Digest Gold can also break down hemicellulose besides the regular cellulose. Something that is important when people are trying to eat a healthier diet with more greens. I don't know of any other formula out there that can break this form of cellulose down.
The fiber I usually recommended was glucomannan. It is more gentle for sensitive digestive tracks than harsher insoluble fibers like psyllium. Apple pectin is a good addition as well. Both of these fibers can pull toxins out of the digestive tract.
Glad to hear you have found some stuff that works for you.
Thanks for all your good info...I may look into taking the Digest Gold...I find my digestive system is a little more sluggish the older I get and your info gives me some good insight...
