Hey it’s great to hear you found a solution to your heartburn with apple cider vinegar. Perhaps your issue was a lack of stomach acid which was causing digestive upset rather than over abundance. It’s unfortunate that doctors don’t do more investigation before prescribing heartburn medication.

After several years of suffering with GERDS, waking up in the middle of the night throwing up and a miserable burning in my throat, and using Ranitidine and several other medicines, I heard about using Apple Cider Vinegar. About a year ago, I started taking 1 tablespoon of 5% Apple Cider vinegar, immediately followed by a good drink of water about 30 minutes before going to bed. Regardless of what I eat, I have not had a GERDS episode since beginning such. Just hope this helps someone. An Old PawPaw in Louisiana.

Consider giving Kefir a try – it’s a runny yogurty type product available at your local grocery store. It’s got an abundance of natural probiotics (usually about 5 billion per tbsp). It’s produced in a way where the lactose is virtually gone (eaten up by the good bacteria). Also try eating 2 servings of peas and green beans daily… this combination has helped me a lot.
