I have only been suffering with acid reflux for a few months now and have no idea how anyone could stand it for longer than that! I've only been on Zegerid about 2 weeks and it's like I'm not taking anything. After reading the stories I've read I don't plan to keep throwing money away on some prescription. I thought, what the heck, went straight to the store on my lunch break today and purchased some acv. I'm not as patient as some people it seems...I want some immediate relief! I mixed it with water and just drank it. (I'm getting the raw honey on my way home). Seriously, it's been about 15-20 minutes and some of the burning is gone already! If this works I will be so happy to have found this information!!! A friend of mine was taken to the emergency room 2 days ago with numbness and tingling and the diagnosis was acid reflux!!! I will be telling her about this. I pray this works because this is a really miserable condition to have.

I have not yet tried the ACV but plan to do so today. For those few who say that their symptoms get worse with ACV those people truly have too much stomach acid. ACV only works on those who do not have enough stomach acid and have been diagnosed in error. I first heard of ACV in relation to acid reflux from a show on PBS - Brenda Watson's H.O.P.E. and that was what she said. If you ever get a chance to read her book or see her video she is amazing. So if ACV does not work for you - you truly have too much stomach acid. IF it does - you do not have enough.

I read all of the comments yesterday about ACV and its benefits relating to acid reflux. So, last night I purchased a bottle, and this morning took the recommended dosage. Immediately I became nauseated and have been so for the last 3 hours. I have burped ACV for the last 3 hours. I'm glad this works for others, but it is not for everyone. It only made my acid reflux worse, and I feel as if I'm going to vomit any second. Yes, I have eaten and had plenty of water. The bottle is going in the garbage can. Glad it wasn't expensive. Good luck to the rest of you.

ACV is a miracle, have stopped taking medication for nerve pain in legs, and for acid reflux. Arthritis is not a problem anymore, and have lost 25 lbs in 8 week. I feel 20 years younger, and will be on ACV for the rest of my life.

About 6 months ago, I suddenly woke up with severe nausea and constant burping. Everything I ate and drank made me feel sick. I woke up nautious and went to bed nat ious every day. My quality of life started changing. I did not want to go out anymore and do things because I constantly felt sick. Being newly engaged, this really put a damper on my relationship. Who wants to be around someone that feels sick everyday and to be honest..when you are sick everyday you reach a point where you just want to be alone. I am only 27 years old and I felt like I had put on 10 years or more in the last 6 months. I even told my mother if I had to live the rest of my life like this I might kill myself. Everything made me sick. Even riding in a car. I had a colonoscopy which came back fine. I then had a scope done and showed that I had erosions all in my stomach, throat, and esophogas. I have been on prevacid and aciphex, which did not seem to help at all and the constant burping was just nasty and embarrassing. I got online and found this site and figured I would give the ACV a chance. This is only my 4th day and oh my goodness thank you god!!! I am not nauseous anymore. Riding in a car no longer makes me sick. If I burp it is one good one instead of a million tiny ones and I have energy like I haven't had in years. I have lost 3 pounds in a few days and I am not having bad cravings. I also notice my skin looks better. I also have battled depression for a long time and I actually feel happy. I woke up at 4a.m smiling thinking why am I so happy. This is truley amazing and I can't wait to keep taking it and see what else it does. If you have battled acid reflux believe me I know how horrible it is. Please just try this and you will not regret it!!!

i was in agony for a week and felt like i could hardly breathe with a lump in my throat. i hadnt slept in 4 days cuz of some foam gurgling into my throat. i diagnosed an acid reflux situation but the regular sites gave me a grim view of what traditional medicine had to offer. finally in a state of delirium i found this site. i took the remedy and 6 days of agony was reduced by half within 5 minutes. hours later i took a second dose and within 24 hrs i was completely healed and feeling better than before even. i will take this magic potion as a health supplement even when i don't need it for heartburn. great energy booster! z0mg! THANX!

I strongly urge you to buy only the Organic, raw, unfiltered ACV, without preservatives. I am a 62 year old woman who suffers from arthritis and acid reflux. Every morning I mix 1 tbls ACV with 1 tbls raw honey in a 16 oz glass of lukewarm filtered water. I do the same thing at night time. Only I mix it in 6 to 8 oz water. Otherwise I would be up all night. My arthritis pain has gone away and I no longer suffer from acid reflux.

I noticed a few people saying to only buy Unfiltered Organic ACV. I use the Heinz APC, which is obviously filtered and non-organic, with good results. Can anyone explain why it MUST be organic ACV???

I have only been suffering with acid reflux condition a few months. Having come across this site I read peoples' entries with great interest - here were folk who had known/knew how it felt. Over the counter indigestion cures no longer seemed to be working. I have bought the apple cider vinegar, taken a small amount after each meal and miraculously the whole bad indigestion cycle has completely vanished! Now I enjoy a good night's sleep as I used to. Thank you everyone for your helpful insight into a condition that was really beginning to effect my general well-being. All this while, the cure for me was sitting on the shelves of my local supermarket! I realise it may not work for everyone but I am grateful to you all for letting me know about it. Best wishes and good health to all.

try this:

*4 inch piece of ginger root, unpeeled and scrubbed.
*1 cup of filtered, organic, apple cider vinegar.
*3/4 cup of honey
*2 quarts of filtered water.
Blend well!!

I have been drinking 1 cup in morning and 1 in afternoon. Been on nexium for 7 weeks with no complete relief. Tried this 4 days ago and been able to eat anything but I would still advise to watch what you eat. Stay away from the trigger foods and drinks."

Why do you need more acid when you seem to be suffering from acid reflux? Because you are not producing enough acid to digest your food. So your system goes into overload and your body produces too much acid, hence the acid relux and indigestion. Finding the right balance to digest your food and suffer no more from the reflux is as easy as throwing away the mylanta, maalox, pepcid and others. Taking these only reduces the acid you need to digest food and the vicious cyle starts all over again... producing too much acid. ACV before or in the middle of a meal will create the needed balance or betaine hydrocholoride pills from a health food store will also work. After 2-3 days you be in pain no more, will eat what you want and you will sleep great. More people over 40 do not produce enough stomach acid. For 3 years I have been pain free because of the betaine hydrochloride or AVC if I am out of pills. They work!

I was woken at 3am with very bad acid reflux, found this website and thought I'd try ACV as a cure. It worked, a little hard to take as it went down - maybe dilute next time - but really did make the burning pain go away.

I'had suffered with acid reflux last year about this time. I had used all types of antacids and lastly the "purple pill". They didn't work out for me. I was searching for the remedy and came across this website. I have tried apple cider vinegar for ten days and my acid reflux symptoms were gone. But again this April, i felt like acid reflux symptoms and used ACV for around two weeks. Now i feel relieved from reflux symptoms. I would strongly recommend the use of apple cider vinegar before trying any other pills. Lately, i have been skipping meals due to work load. this could also be one of the reasons of acid reflux.

I have tried two tbls of ACV, with an half tbls of cayenne pepper in a half of cup of hot natural spring water every night before bed for my Acid reflux and this remedy works wonderful. i have tried other over the counters prescriptions and my Doctors way and nothing seems to calm it down until now. At first my taste buds had to get use to it, it does gives you an tingling feeling on your tongue and down your throat, but the results is worth it.

I obtained acid reflux after eating some really spicy food in February of 2007. Here it is May of 2007 and I still have acid reflux and wake up at least once a night. My dad had recommended the apple cider vinegar cure and I thought he was crazy. Since it is pickled, which I was told to stay away from, I was scared to try it. I tried it today and my acid reflux has stopped burning me. Please note, that I have not had releif since this acid reflux occured. As of last week, I also found out that apples make me feel better, so I am eating apples too. In regards to drinking I drink Gatorade and Water, but wish there were other things I could drink. Thanks to this website...I didn't think of "apple juice." That's great! If anyone else knows of any other beverage that is safe...please let me know.

I have a infant who has horrible acid reflux and traditional medicine is not working. I have tried the acv and placed a small amount into the bottle with the formula and it seems to work great. Has anyone else ever tried this? It works in adults but I have not read anything about babies. Any thoughts? melissa in texas
