Yeah, you bet Sorbate. As you mentioned, lots of folks don't take in enough fluids with fiber. I do, but still doesn't do well with too much for my gutteroo. Always has been like that, but I can eat and get hungry at anytime.
Improving digestion when bulking
- Thread starter Swole_T1D
- Start date
My moms the same way. It bungs her up.
Umm never! Will have to take a look at it. Could be better for me than oats.
Oh yeah definitely try it out. It's awesome. Great pre-workout with some berries & PB.
The betaine is supposed to increase stomach acid is it not?
You bet Sorbate. If some folks get low on Hydrochloric acid in the gut, it creates a whole host of issues. Here is a good article on it.
Personally I take 2 tabs, if it creates a warm sensation in the stomach, that means you are good, if it does nothing, then you need to add a bit more.
As with many supplements there are 2 sides, one side says it is magical, the other says the jury is out on its effectiveness. I am on the magical side, it has worked for me very well when bulking and eating copious amounts of proteins from red meat etc.

You know I looked in my cupboard last night and saw a bottle. I think I bought it when cialis was giving me heartburn a cialis years ago, I had just forgot what it did,
His do you time taking it?
Sorry man, I think autocorrect facked you. I didn't understand the last question....lol

I take mine a half hour before bigsolid food protein meals. I take 2 pills as mine are 500 MG each. I changed the post above as if I take a pill and feel nothing, this means I need to add in more Betaine HCL, if I feel nothing I add in another tab.
Some folks take during the meal, I take it prior to a meal.

This article is from Charles Poliquin, he is a pretty respected guy in the industry.
I agree with his article 100%. I can't say enough about this product, I am over 40 and once I hit my late 30's and eating a lot for over 2 decades I began to notice a difference. I was once known as Irongut...lol, then I started finding issues with certain foods etc. Once I began Betaine HCL, things went back to as I was in my younger days. Irongut rises again...lol
Agree - I always take betain and HMF probiotics
Yes - there is a protocol to determine how much to take
Sorry I didn’t know you already answered Sorby - that’s the protocol I use too
I realise I'm late to the party but.
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar in 500ml water every morning.
This was from another person who suggested it and now I religiously drink this when I wake up.
Try boiling your meat it cleans it up quite nicely especially hamberger.
I eat equal parts veggies (broccoli,carrots, cauliflower)to protein.
Basmati rice I love the stuff.
Peanut butter and almonds blended protein shakes. Inbetween meals, you can eat less and this will act as a filler.
Use MCT oil with meals on certain diets it will allow you to obtain 23g fat per meal, I do 6 meals a day.
I have completely removed gluten & dairy from my diet as well. This made the largest impact, the only grain I touch also is basmati rice.

Buy it once.. First time you eat a high protien meal, take one pill half way through your meal. If you don't get heart burn/acid reflux or a burning feeling in your gut you should be taking at least one pill every meal. If you get the heart burn/reflux, then don't take them again.
