After suffering from a blocked bowel which caused back up of acid into the esophagus, many hospital visits with an NG-tube being inserted which scraped the interior of the esophagus, acid reflux was a full time occurrence. A scope showed that the lining of the esophagus was, as my Dr. said "raw meat". I was placed on most ant-acids known to man. They masked the symptoms for awhile, but I spent most days in pain. Sleeping was near impossible because of the pain and coughing. Thanks to a Dr. who practiced natural medicine and a magazine article which told me that far from having too much stomach acid, the pain meant that I was producing too little, I was told to take a forkful of sauerkraut when the pain hit and that it would help. It did! Immediately! It's effects were not permanent though. One week ago, again because of a magazine article, I was led to try Apple Cider Vinegar. Not for Acid reflux but to help me relax. I have not had acid reflux or heart burn since! Thanks for your web-site. I will be sharing my find with others.

I got hooked on spicy chicken and started eating it almost everyday. At first I noticed that I got a little burning in my chest and when I coughed it got worse. The more chicken I ate the more I started getting acid reflux. I would mostly get it when I would go to bed or lay down. Today I was sitting up and got the biggest attack that I have ever had. I coughed and more acid came up. My ears, throat, and chest burned and I was getting choked and I felt like I was going to die. My husband heard all the choking and coughing and came in to help me. I had read many remedies on this site and remembered the ACV. My husband brought it to me and I mixed some with water and drank it. I started to feel better right after I used it and it about 10 minutes I was totally pain free. I'm going to use it for weight loss, acid reflux and arthritis.

My father has had horrible acid reflux for years. He tried 1Tbl. of Apple Cider Vinegar with 8 oz. of water every morning - and has been reflux free ever since. My question is about my 8 month old. He was a preemie and has horrible reflux. He's on Zantac and Reglan and has even tried Prevacid - it helps a little, but he still reflux's throughout the day - even aspirating into his lungs. I was wondering if you've ever heard of babies taking vinegar, and if it has helped them. I know he wouldn't take it by mouth, but he has a g-tube through which he receives his other med. s. If he could take it how much would you recommend. Thanks!

All my life i"ve been eating rolaids like candy for my acid reflux. Watched a health show on tv about the digestive system and the lady doing the show said that a lack of acid is the most common cause of acid reflux. Acid naturally causes muscles of the esophagus to close off when digesting. Hence stopping acid reflux. The lack of acids cause the food to ferment and backup into the esophagus causing burning. She suggested taking a spoonful of ACV to stop the burn. Now no rolaids just ACV.Works wonders and I feel great.

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! Rose St.Louis (Thank God For Natural Cures...AND APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!)

Hi,about 3 years ago I started getting daily heartburn that got worse and worse.I ate rennie´s and tums like sweets and soon had to take Ranatidin on a daily basis. I visited my doctor who wrote out more prescription drugs.The drugs helped but as soon as the effect wore off I was back to square one. I read about the vinegar cure on your site and decided to give it a try. I cut back on the drugs and instead used the vinegar .I have been symptom free for over 6 weeks and feel 100% better. I can eat and drink things that were unthinkable before. A word of warning to anyone taking anti-acid drugs, the more you use them the worse your reflux will become after the daily dose wears off.The body compensates the lack of acid by producing more. It's a vicious circle that the drug companies never mention. Out with the drugs and in with the vinegar. A desert spoon in a glass of water every morning is enough to get your stomach working again. Best wishes from Scandinavia. P.S. great site

I have been suffering from acid reflux for about 8 years .I have been to the doctor and have been on all of the prescription ppi drugs,currently on prilosec otc.I always had to back them up with tums ,Rolaids ect.None work for the long term. Tried ACV two nights ago seems to work. I have also for the last year been having problems sleeping, which then gave me migraines. I had my best sleep in two years the last two nights. Don't know if the ACV had any thing to do with that , but I love the side effect.

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.

Listen up singers! I have had reflux for almost two years now. I have no heartburn or stomach discomfort. I have the type of reflux that only attacks my throat. Sometimes my throat burns and is sore, my neck actually hurts and I have hoarseness. This of course is a huge problem because I am a singer and right now i'm doing a 1st national tour and when the acid reflux is bad, the singing is bad. Well it got particularly bad last week and my singing was really suffering (I even got my first bad review of my career because of it). Like many others I also have gone through nexium, zegerid, aciphex, etc. They all work for about a month and then the reflux comes back usually worse. So I went on a 24 hour information search because I got to a point where I wasn't sure I could sing the show. Well what I came up with worked IMMEDIATELY. So I want to share the news.
First - I stopped taking my prescribed reflux medicine. I took organic apple cider vinegar three times a day (two table spoons mixed in about 4 oz of water). I got a multi enzyme that I took before and after each meal and also after working out. And (this is a big one) I stopped drinking anything during my meals (it apparently makes digestion of food much easier when there isn't so much liquid with it). I started all this on a saturday morning and had a four show weekend. My voice came back by that matinee and it soared through the next three shows. Apparently people in the homeopathic world know all about the benefits of enzymes and the effectiveness of raw apple cider vinegar. I didn't. But now I do and I just wanted to share. It really works. Good luck. Peace.

1 part Apple cider vinegar and 3 parts water at least three times per day especially after meals has lessened acid reflux symptoms by 90% after three weeks steady treatment. I had been taking Nexium for approximately 5 years by doctor's prescription. When I went for a refill and found that I couldn't without going back to the doctor again, I decided to check out your website for help. After 5 years of Nexium and/or Zantac, if I missed taking it even one day, then my reflux came back as strong as the days before treatment. I never went back to the doctor for another prescription. The apple cider vinegar mixture treatment really works for me and is better than the last 5 years with few symptoms. I have also removed coffee and wine completely from my diet. Also, I try not to eat anything within 2-3 hours before bed. That's hard since I am a "grazer" and eat at odd times.

I'm 37 and have had acid reflux for about 10 years. Growing up, my family didn't provide healthy meals. Consequently, I abused my body by consuming unhealthy amounts of soda, candy, saturated fat and other dangerous foods. I truly believe that huge amounts of sugar, caffeine and cholesterol in my system caused acid reflux. It also caused acne. I tried antacids at first, to no avail. Then, my doctor put me on Nexium, once a day. The medication only masks the problem. I've always worked out several times a week and after a couple of years on the medication, I noticed that I was gaining weight despite my steady workout routine. From the research I've done on the internet, certain doctors say that reflux medication kills the acid in your stomach so you won't have the pain. The problem is that you need the acid to naturally break down food and impurities. The absence of alkaline in my system was causing me to gain weight more easily. After I began eating 1-2 apples each day and taking a teaspoon of apple-cider vinegar, I had no problems. I've been off Nexium for a year and a half and have no problems. I drink more water, cut back on sweets and have completely given up soda. I also stop eating snacks 1-2 hours before bed. Apples and ACV also help cleanse your system and act as a natural laxative. It's easier to loose weight if you consume it regularly. I use to have quite a bit of acne. Now, at 37, my skin is much clearer.

Alright, I must post again. I am posting because I want all to know who reads that the ACV works, and I am still painfree. It is 6:01 pm here in Oregon. I am "With The Mother" _______ raw and unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar. The price was $2.79. This vinegar contains no preservatives. It tastes great. This morning when I woke up, I was so awake. This is a miracle. Usually when I wake up, I dread it, I still have pain; it takes all night long to try to concentrate on getting the reflux pain to back off. This morning I was filled with so much energy. I cleansed my face before I went to bed last night. I put about 3 drops of ACV in my hand, added 6 drops of water, rubbed my hands together and patted it on my facial skin, being careful not to get it in my eyes. I let it air dry, and then over the top, I placed my moisturizing creme. I told my husband, I do not care if I smell like the apple orchard, if I have to bath in ACV I will, for I went to bed with no pain, and woke up with no pain. I slept like a newborn baby. I did not wake up to get water or use the bathroom. My face felt like soft silk, and it still does right now. _______ ACV and olive oil went on my sandwich with feta cheese and one slice of tomato, lettuce and maple cured ham on healthy nut bread. I am drinking lots of water too. This is the first time since the last past 5 years that I have enjoyed eating a meal. I also had a small glass of apple juice. I had so much energy in the wind and rain and walking down the mall lanes to get to the health food store. My ACV is my new friend and she will go wherever I go. I have no cough, no neck pain, no back or leg pain. I have not had to take medicine for the cough. I feel so clean on the inside of me. My acid reflux and cough medicine look so lonely sitting next to My 16 fl. Oz. _______ ACV. I was so in pain yesterday, I could not stand it one more minute trying to concentrate on trying to get the pain to stop. I was so worn out. My skin had become so dry from the medication, I was tired all day long from the medication and lack of sleep. I did go grocery shopping, I read to find out which foods were the healthiest, and my grocery bill came out 40 dollars cheaper. I bought fresh foods, foods that contain low fat, low sugar, no more than 17 g.: Here is a partial list: peaches, live and active culture yogurt, lots of green veggies, fresh water fish, Cornish hens, the feta cheese, apple cider, hazelnut bread, yams, celery, melons, light olive oil and royal jelly, pure organic honey. I must say the kind I chose was made from bees from out of the United States. The reason being is because of my developed allergies, so my heart said to do that, just because of the blossoms here I live around. I will be learning about more foods that are better for my health, and now that my stomach and chest and neck does not ache, I will be healthy inside and out. My mouth tastes good, no foul body smells, which the medications were doing to me, plus throwing my body chemistry so out of whack. When you are so used to being half asleep from allergy meds, and stomach meds, you just go with it. But when you feel awake and so full of energy, then you find out, you realize, you have been asleep in your life. I have faith that this ACV is the key to the cure. I do want to tell a quick story here about vinegar in my lifetime. When I was a little girl, we used it to pull out the curds from our soap in our hair when we washed it. Also, the vinegar was a great balance and put a lot of shine in your hair, kept it at the right Ph. I craved vinegar when I was little, and when my mother was not looking I would drink one or two capfuls of it in the bathtub. When she found out I was drinking it, she told me to stop because I would get ulcers. She hid the bottle lol. Oh, I found it, and took little sips now and then. Yes, I was worried I would get ulcers, but I craved it so much. I was raised up on a farm, and I got sick on dairy foods, which I did not know at that time I had a problem with milk. The only times I was not sick was when I was able to take sips of that vinegar. I look back at my life from then and now, and I can see what the vinegar was doing to me, and it was not about to give me an ulcer, it was keeping my body in balance. The other quick story about vinegar is, that it was a house hold remedy for bruises. As soon as you hit or knocked your arms or legs or head, you quickly put vinegar on that area, and you never, ever got a bruise. I did the same thing for my children as they grew up, immediately put the vinegar my children's legs and arms, when they fell down, or knocked their heads, and they never showed bruises either. I did not think much about it; it was just something I learned from my mother; Rest in peace, I love you mom, and I have my vinegar. And also, we did not have a lot of other medicines, so we used products from the pantry. It did not hurt like rubbing alcohol, or that red staining stuff. So those are my stories. I was taking the type of pain killer that contained no ibuprofen, but they did not work after a while, so I decided to go with the ibuprofen anyway, seemed I had no choice, either that or pain anyway. It was a catch 22 all the way around. Yes, I am "With The Mother" unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar, and I will stick with her. My quick prayer is this: goodbye drugs, scares about esophageal cancer or someone cutting out my body parts. Cheers to you Earth Clinic, you have saved my body, and you will save many others too. I am letting others know about this information too, for I want no one else to be acid reflux pain either. Hugs, and take that ACV with plenty of water, follow the directions. You will feel clean inside and out, with no pain, and have skin soft as a baby in no time at all.

Apple cider vinegar cured my Acid Reflux, hot flash, back pain and restless leg syndrome. Axid AR did not work, I was in so much pain, went to find out which foods that contained high amounts of alkaline in them. Tired of looking 5 months pregnant. Anyway, thank God I found this site. All I had was regular store bought apple cider vinegar and clover honey and tap water. I spooned a half teaspoon of vinegar into my mouth, about choked to death, followed with water, and then ate a half teaspoon of honey. In about 45 minutes I had no pain. I am so full of energy and do not want to go to bed now. It is 2:43 am in the morning. God bless this site and its creator, amen. Tomorrow I will go find me some ACV.
