let’s talk about gastritis inflammation of  your stomach now the symptoms of gastritis  

which should be indigestion vomiting  especially a fluid that’s yellow and green  

which is actually bile i’m going to come back to  that another symptom would be nausea low appetite  

abdominal pain especially in the upper part  burning especially at night and between  

meals now normally when you have  acidity acid reflux or heartburn  

i would recommend taking either betaine  hydrochloride which is an acidifier or apple  

cider vinegar but not if you have gastritis  this is different and with gastritis we have  

inflammation of the stomach so if you’re going to  add more acid you’re going to make it worse so one  

simple way to determine if you have gastritis is  just to take some acid apple cider vinegar retain  

hydrochloride and see if you get worse and if you  get worse you either have gastritis or an ulcer  

if you get better then we know that it was a lack  of acid that was causing this in the first place  

and usually the ph of the stomach or the  concentration of acid will control the closing  

of the valve on the top of the stomach so if you  don’t have enough acid or the ph is too alkaline  

the top of the valve doesn’t close that  well and so the acid can kind of regurgitate  

as in acid reflux or gerd but there’s this other  condition of gastritis that i want to talk about  

which is different now normally when you go to  the doctor the way they treat gastritis is with  

an antacid which treats the symptom but what about  the underlying actual cause is that ever addressed  

i don’t know so here are several things that cause  gastritis alcohol aspirin nsaids h pylori can be  

associated with gastritis but also there’s  two other things that i want to focus on one  

is cortisol okay and the other is bile let’s  first talk about cortisol cortisol is activated  

by stress so cortisol increases gastric acids even  when there’s no food in your stomach this cortisol  

can then cause gastric erosion because it  can decrease the mucosal layer the mucous  

lining that protects the stomach  so if you start wearing down that  

layer you’re going to get inflammation and if  it’s eventually wore out you can get an ulcer  

and this is why stress can cause ulcers there  are two ulcers i want to talk about one is called  

curling ulcers by a certain doctor’s name  because he discovered it but that’s really  

another name for a stress ulcer and i think  there’s two mechanisms going on there’s one where  

cortisol actually destroys the lining of the  stomach and number two cortisol depletes zinc  

which then also causes a lack of healing which  then also can cause an ulcer i’ve done a video on  

that i’ll put that link down below then you have  cushing ulcer and i’m almost positive that that  

relates to cushing’s syndrome which is an excess  amount of cortisol and in this type of ulcer you  

have an over stimulation of the vagus nerve which  then increases gastric acid which can then cause  

an ulcer but what you should know is cortisol  in general coming from some stress emotional  

stress or whatever can create this gastritis  and eventually an ulcer cortisol in general is  

supposed to be an anti-inflammatory so how could  increasing more cortisol cause more inflammation  

well i think it’s a similar mechanism to insulin  when you increase insulin it becomes dysfunctional  

you get insulin resistance and then it doesn’t  work anymore probably the same thing that’s  

going on with cortisol high levels of cortisol  makes cortisol less effective so now instead  

of acting as an anti-inflammatory you get more  inflammation and this is why if you study a very  

high level of cortisol as in cushing’s syndrome  we have all sorts of inflammatory conditions  

listed as well as a condition with low cortisol  addison’s you see the same thing you have a  

lot of inflammation going in the body now  cortisol also affects the immune system an  

increase of cortisol creates a suppression  of white blood cells so if you don’t have  

white blood cells working you’re going to get  a lack of immune protection and you’re going  

to get a lack of repair probably because you don’t  have the inflammation there to help in the healing  

process now let’s come back to another cause that  i mentioned bile if there’s bile regurgitating  

up into the stomach as in bile reflux gastritis  you’re going to get burning in the stomach  

bile is a detergent and it can irritate the  stomach lining it can irritate the liver so  

if there’s any type of backup and bile you’re  going to have inflammation and so this usually  

comes from an obstruction in the bile ducts and  the simple remedy is to use a bile salt the one  

i’m going to recommend is tutca you take some tut  cup maybe two in the morning on an empty stomach  

two in the afternoon an empty stomach and that  will start increasing the flow of bile and  

lessening the reflux of bile into the stomach  it’s very difficult to differentiate between  

gerd and this bile reflux where you have bile  coming up through the esophagus because if you  

expose the esophagus to bile or acid it creates a  similar effect but if you take tupca and you feel  

better then we know it was an obstruction in  the bile the bile is too thick it’s creating a  

sluggishness and it’s kind of clogging everything  up and tutka thins the bile all right so what  

should we do if we have gas trends number one you  need to decrease stress as much as possible okay  

that’s easier said than done but i’m going to  put a link down below of some things you can do  

you want to increase more sleep that’s going  to greatly reduce cortisol taking vitamin  

d can help because vitamin d will help lower  cortisol zinc carnosine will also help gastritis  

do things to support the adrenal like  adaptogens lemon balm tea things like that keto  

keto helps take people out of the flight or fight  mode also fasting will help repair inflammation  

probably more than anything else i know and  so will vitamin d they’re both very powerful  

anti-inflammatories and then you may also want to  use mastic gum instead of some alkalizers because  

it’s more natural and that can help decrease the  acid as you’re fixing the underlying cause but of  

course with all this advice check with your doctor  before doing any of this thanks for watching
