Help! I believe my stomach is having a burning feeling due to the crypto and Jap knot weed I’ve been taking for a couple of months. I’m taking a leaky gut powder supplement that seems to help somewhat. I’m taking digestive enzymes as well.

Today the burning was worse about an hour after a bit of a high fat diet. And it became more painful. I added Pepto and it calmed it down somewhat. I’m going to stop the herbs a few days to see if that helps though I don’t want to.

Any suggestions?

everyone is different - but i've been taking crypto and knotweed long term and i have not had any stomach burning from it

what kind of burning is it ? like acid reflux?

you could try drinking a dose of baking soda - approx 3g in a cup of water - when the burning starts - and see if that calms it for a while - just to help figure out if its acid related

if it is acid reflux - i would suggest learning about the mechanisms via functional medicine approaches - there is a reason antacids are the number one selling drug - and its not the way to go.

Garzie - thanks for the suggestion. I think it's symptoms of a stomach ulcer - though I'm not sure if it's truly an ulcer or just that the herbs are damaging the mucosal layer of the gut. I started taking Prilosec and it's helping. Also taking gut repair supplements to repair the gut, but the prilosec or pepto is the only thing that stops the burning currently.

I am curious if you take the crypto and knotweed on an empty stomach. For the past 2 months, I have been taking them empty, but am going to switch to taking with food to see if that helps.
