Episode notes
Loose Stool Is A Red Flag
- If you have loose stool even once a week, it signals digestive imbalance like low stomach acid, bile issues, or possible parasites.
- Test with at-home labs rather than normalizing symptoms, says Dr. Stephen Cabral.
Low Stomach Acid Can Cause Heartburn
- Heartburn and acid reflux often stem from low stomach acid, not excess acid or genetics.
- Low HCl can keep the lower esophageal sphincter open, allowing acid to reflux, explains Dr. Stephen Cabral.
Daily Bowel Movements Are Normal
- Aim for one to two bowel movements per day if eating multiple meals; difficulty or straining indicates constipation.
- Address dehydration, low fiber, or low food bulk as common reversible causes, says Dr. Stephen Cabral.
