I have suffered with AR for 3 years with no answers from Doctors. I have had just about every test they could think of and there's nothing wrong with me. I went to the health food store and bought digestive enzymes and hit it hard for a month along with Nexium. I have been off the PPI's for about a month and just started 1 1/2 weeks ago with the Apple cider vinegar and that stuff is great! I just do a combo of ACV and digestive enzymes and I feel great. No more raw throat when I wake up, I don't dread eating anymore. And the best thing of all is I'm off of the damaging meds. Praise God!! Just had to share.

I Had such horrible Acid Reflux, and Digestive Issues, my Doc gave me tons of prescriptions... to no avail,nothing worked... I hardly ate, I was practically starving, grumpy and miserable,weak and tired.... you could find me drinking the Pepto-Bismal,Malox,Gravol,Peppermint tea. It was so nasty I did not want to get out of BED!until my father had mentioned Apple Cider Vinegar...I doubted it at first...well let me tell you, I purchased Gel Caps from the Natural Health Food Store,and Apple Cider Vinegar, after I swallowed the pill, I felt better within 45 mins...I could not believe it! so now I take 3 Gel caps a day of Apple Cider Vinegar,and i'm happy to say no problems, and I don't have to take any gross medicine. the first night I celebrated my new found health, I took my boyfriend out for beer and SPICY NACHO'S!

I had a horrible few days of bloating, abdominal pain, vomiting and nausea. I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux and given a prescription for Prilosec. I took the pill and still no relief, so yesterday I did some research and found this site. I immediately went to the grocery store and purchased some ACV. I took a tablespoon before bed and I slept through the night, and I somewhat am feeling back to normal today. I know it's too soon to tell, but I'm optimistic this will help me relieve my pain! Thanks to all on this site!!

1 tablespoon ACV, 1 teaspoon honey, half glass water produced immediate results, slept like a baby.

Wow! I am astounded. After reading your forum last night, I bought some Apple Cider Vinegar to see if it would help my reflux which I have had for a couple of years. I am almost in tears as I got a great night's sleep last night after giving up hope of ever sleeping throught the night again. I can't thank you enough. I feel like I'm 20 years old today and I'm just giddy. No pain what so ever. No burning. No 3 AM gulp of Mylanta. I am angry at the doctors who prescribed all those medications that did nothing or only helped a little. I only pray that my esophagus will heal back to normal after years of injury. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. If you are reading this and haven't tried it I strongly encourage you to. You will bless the day you did! Len

Amazing!! After visiting this site i instantly took the ACV. My grandmother was always preaching it But I never wanted to try the stuff. Well it just so happens I started suffering from Acid reflux and the doctors gave me all these drugs and none helped. ACV is the ticket. Thank God for this site.

I've been taking a number of prescription meds including aspirin for years for high blood pressure and under- active thyroid. The latter is the result of radium treatment for over-active thyroid and I believe agreeuing to that treatment is the biggest mistake I've ever made! Last year, in addition to all the other medication, I was prescribed anti-inflammatories and pain-killers after I suddenly developed osteoarthritis(?) in my lower spine and knees and, almost immediately, I had crippling indigestion and reflux which prevented me from sleeping. I became afraid too eat and The medication which was then prescribed to counter the effects of the anti-inflammatories and aspirin caused dreadful insomnia so sleeping became an even greater problem. I stopped taking the anti-inflammatories and was soon unable to walk despite spending a fortune on physiotherapy, osteopathy and acupuncture . Eventually, I returned to the anti-inflammatories because they took the edge off the pain in my knees and back and I was immediately back to square one with reflux etc. I'm so grateful for the night a search on Google led me to this site. I have to confess I just didn't believe ACV and honey would work but I had some in my kitchen cupboard so thought I may as well give it a try. Usually when woken with reflux and nausea I was awake for the night but on this occasion I was fast asleep within fifteen minutes. That was about four weeks ago and was the last time I was troubled. Since then I've taken a tbsp of ACV/Honey mixture three times a day before meals and my digestive problems, if not cured, are 100% controlled and my sleep is undisturbed. Although the jury's still out on my blood pressure and osteoarthritis, I believe both may well also be improving! Not quite sure if I'm using the correct ingredients but I use any brand of organic, runny honey together with unpasteurised, organic, cyder vinegar. Both are usually sold by the main grocers and by health-food stores across the UK. I am more grateful than I can say.

I was prescribed to Nexium, but due to insufficient funds, being a full time student, and working 2 fulltime jobs at odd hours, I couldn't fill my prescription. My grandmother, who is a nurse and has the same ailments was prescribed to nexium and told me one day that she would give me one to see if it helped me. Her friend happened to over hear her and told me that she was addicted to nexium, that it cured her stomach from acid reflux, but she was paying 70$ a month for it, she told me about apple cider vinegar and told me to try it. Since sticking to this for 4 weeks straight now, I have only had the pain in my stomach once, and it was very mild (most of the time before it was such an intense pain I would keel over)... Yes, getting over the taste is one thing with apple cider vinegar, but it saved me from being in pain 24/7.

Thank you for being here! What a relief to know natural remedies do work. It's a shame physicians and pharmaceutical companies can't "work with us" (the patients) instead of trying to use us to make money for themselves. I guess that's what being ignorant (lacking knowledge) is all about. If you don't research answers for yourself, you may remain ignorant and get taken advantage of. Thank you, thank you.

I suffered from acid reflux for TOOOO many years I'm 54 now, my cousin told me about your website and the cure with vinegar, after eating some prunes my pain started all over and I decided to try vinegar, IT'S WONDERFUL it works. Prilozec was not working anymore not effective at all, started taking twice a day and did not respond as planned. Today after only 4 days I decided to stop the medication and continue with vinegar. Thanks to all who made this possible. Best regards, Fernando.

I had heartburn for about 2-3 years. I took all sorts of acid reflux medicine. I came to know thru this web site that Apple Cider Venegar helps to prevent heartburn. I went to Organic Store and bought _______ Apple Cider Venegar with mother. Started taking 3 tablespoons 3 times a day. It has been a month now and I have not taken any acid reflux medicine. I tried all food from italian, mexican, indian, chinese, Greek and all sorts of cake, pie, cream or any thing you name it that might reflux did not give me any heartburn. I am very glad that ACV is working so fine.

I recently started the raw apple cider vinegar and raw honey treatment. It has helped my bloating and reflux, but I see so many variations of dosage. Currently, I mix 2 tsp acv & 2 tsp honey in 8 oz. of distilled water. I use _______'s raw ACV with 'the mother'. I do not buy pasteurized acv because the raw is supposed to have more health benefits. I drink one glass first thing in the morning and one at bedtime. I still have stomach problems but the acv does help. I am now going to stop taking the Zelnorm, I already quit taking Protonix. I'm tired of popping pills and acv seems to be my remedy.

In August I started having a really bad cough. At first they told me it was bronchitis and treated me for that and asthma. I have been to two specialists and had a bunch of tests. I have had acid reflux for quite awhile, and been on Protonix. And the doctors said, well it could be the acid reflux. I couldn't even carry on a conversation for very long without coughing. I was sleeping with 4 pillows and ending up on the couch about 2 in the morning because I couldn't stop Coughing. I went for an allergy test, and I'm not allergic to anything. I told the doctor that I was really getting concerned because now my voice was raspy. He put a tube down my nose and said my vocal cords were red and that it was the Acid reflux. He had me take the protonix twice a day. But I was still coughing. A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me her daughter discovered vinegar for her acid reflux. I started taking 3 tablespoons after each meal. My cough is gone. I'm sleeping all night and am down to three pillows!! I'm not sure if it should be 3 tablespoons after each meal, so if anyone has the correct receipe could you please give it to me.

Thanks a lot for those you created this site and posted their experience. There is no word to describe my thanks to them. I was suffering from acid reflux for almost 4 months now. I had seen 4 doctors so far for this problem nobody could give me def. cure. ACV was the solution for it. I keep burping thru out the day. After taking ACV its all gone now. But I have a question for those who posted, for how long I should take ACV for Acid reflux to cure completely?
