Hi
I was turned on to the use of ACV as a cure for a gastric ulcer last year; it’s also the fastest heartburn reliever I’ve ever seen. For both of those conditions, I took 2 tablespoons as needed. I’ve recommended ACV for other people’s digestive ills with much success. A key note, though- the vinegar MUST be organic, and unfiltered. If you don’t see sediments/cobwebby formations in the bottle, then it’s been steam-distilled and lost many of its beneficial enzymes.

Well, it worked for me. And if you google it, you’ll see tons of others have tried it too!

Well..you could give it a try—I know what you mean about the shudder. I have been doing it for several years now and I still have to brace myself…really.

SOOOO glad I read this! I am not on a PPI (I have so many health issues and am on different meds, I can’t take anymore right now or I may have a meltdown)…but wow, it is AWFUL. I take so many Tums (ultra strength, of course) that when I had my last work-up, my GI doc was confused as to why I had such a high calcium level. Can you imagine? I shrugged and was like, hmmm, that is a mystery.

I read this because I thought you were going to say you drank it straight, and I HAD to see how you did it. LOL. Believe it or not…years ago (YEARS), my BFF and I were a little ummm, silly and used poor judgment and she introduced me to drinking swigs of apple cider vinegar prior to meals because it cut your appetite so much (probably because it made you want to vomit) so, apple cider vinegar still makes me shudder at this point. Ohhh, the things one will do to lose weight. Ugh.
