Re: Uncommon Opinions

Braggs apple cider vinegar has done wonders for me in helping correct my GERD. I went through several scopes and was placed on nexium, while yes it worked, it seemed to be a closed loop of band-aiding the problem. So I started on two tablespoons of Braggs every morning in 8oz of water. I stayed on that routine for almost 2 years until finally I stopped needing to do it. I no longer get bad heartburn or reflux/GERD. I'm not claiming its some miracle cure, just passing along what I went through with the hellish experience of GERD. I know all about the nightmare that is associated with the condition.

As a sidenote, I can't burp, never have been able to. Short version, it causes gas, acid, etc to be slowly forced up my throat especially while sleeping. It was eating away at my esophagus & I was getting bad feed back from doctors it could turn into esophagus cancer. Its due to a pressure balance issue of my esophagus. They have requested surgery to "attempt" to repair it but there is far to many possible side effects after surgery. So long story short I chose to roll with nexium, which later moved onto Braggs. Looking back on all it now, what a critical call not to do the surgery & amazing enough fix my problem with a simple cheap home "remedy".

Does apple cider vinegar go bad? I got some a while back and tried taking some spoonfuls but couldn't do it...

Might be willing to try again, but didn't know if I had to buy new stuff or not....it's been in the fridge the whole time lol

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Best response so far.

I seem to get a gurgly stomach if I eat an entire meal without eating. It's not uncommon for me to drink 24 oz of water during a meal.

I'm no doctor, but that might be because you're not eating.

My bottles never lasted long enough to be concerned. If I'm not mistaken its couple years. I keep a bottle in the fridge 24/7. I don't buy the big 32oz bottle, one its to big to fit anywhere, two it takes to long to run through it. Instead I buy the 16oz size, it last roughly a month using everyday.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

No, drinking while eating will not "send your stomach into overdrive". Your stomach is highly, highly acidic. Not quite pH 1, but way down on the scale. The water you drink with your meal isn't going to do any more or less than the food you were already eating because of the differences in the acidity.

Heartburn is a completely different response, usually related to the fact that the stomach is NOT producing enough acid to break down stronger acidic foods one might eat.

If not drinking during a meal works for you, do it. If drinking during a meal works for you, do it. The only valid argument I've heard in this situation is that drinking while eating will slow you down and help overeating. But your body is not going to punish you for drinking while eating by cranking up acid production.

Were you taking direct spoonfuls of it or were you using them to dilute water? I tried to take like a half shot of ACV once and it was repulsive. Then I learned it's too powerful to just take it plain, you need to put it in water, and that was pretty disgusting too lol, but I've gotten used to it over time and agree with Phobia it can be very helpful

Re: Uncommon Opinions

You guys have to get Braggs ACV or any organic ACV with the "mother"

Take 2 tablespoons and dilute in a pint glass of water, mix it with honey. It taste good and is amazing for you. It cures heart burn, regulates blood sugar and your skin will get healthier and that's what I experienced drinking for the last couple years.

Also the shelf life for it is 5 years.

As I was reading down the thread I knew you'd have some advice. My only 2 cents would be to make it local raw Honey for added benefits if anyone has allergies too.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I just recommend a good IPA, after a couple of them you won't be thinking about this stuff AND it will stop you from over-eating.

While we're in this thread, I'll toss this out:

IPAs are gross

Absolutely. I've also used organic blue agave I got from a Costco type store. Pretty sure you can get it at Costco too.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

No need to drink disgusting vinegar.

Carbs are probably the biggest driver of digestive/acid reflux issues.

In order to fix my problems, my doctor had me do 6 weeks with no carbohydrates and a Nexium every morning. Then he had me do 6 more weeks without carbohydrates but with no Nexium aid. This was, in effect, a healing of/a reset of my stomach.

Since it had a profound effect on my acid reflux and digestive issues, I realized that it was indeed the carbohydrates causing the problem. I went from eating like three or four Rolaids a day to three or four a week. Now when I know I'm going to be eating or drinking a good deal (my free days are of legend) I pop a Nexium and a digestive enzymes supplement and I have like zero issue.

Nexium is intended to be used 2 weeks at a time then stopping. Not quite sure why it helps me in the fashion I use it but hey, whatever works.
