I have suffered from acid reflux and hair loss for about 3 years. I tried Ted's recipe of ACV and baking soda in water, I liked the taste of it. I had to put about 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda to 2 tablespoons of ACV in 8 oz of water inorder to reach 7.0 acid level. I think the large amount of baking soda is making me retain water, I feel very puffy and scale is up. I'd appreciate feedback if others have experienced this. Thank you. Love this site.

I'm confused on the alkalizing formulas. I'm a 47 year old female. I began having acid reflux about a month ago. Unsure if I have too little or too much acid. PPIs or antacids not helping at all. I tried 2 Tbs ACV 1/2tsp baking soda, then added 4oz water after fizzing stopped. I drank this once I stated having heartburn. I also tried this in AM and PM on empty stomach. No help at all with my constant acid-reflux or ph of 6. What formula is best? The quantity? Best time to take? How long before or after meals?

ACV/Baking Soda Side Effects
I have had trouble with stomach problems for years now- heartburn/acid-reflux- burps where the acid comes all the way back up my throat (yuck!) and stomach pain, etc. I decided to try the ACV and baking soda- used the dosages Ted recommends- just took it once in the evening. I had stopped drinking coffee too (I know that doesn't help)- yet I was having bad stomach pain and really bad nausea- to the point I had to lay my head down bc I thought I was going to vomit. I stopped and it's okay now- about like it was before- not perfect. Could I have an ulcer? I feel like my stomach can't tolerate this remedy. I was taking kefir to help- I think I will go back to that.

ACID REFLUX: I have tried ACV+Baking soda for a week. I don't feel any better, I feel very sick. After the first dose (1/4 ts soda+ 2 tbs ACV in a cup of water), next morning I woke up very tired. I disregard my feelings; I thought that my body is getting rid of everything bad, I am cleaning so I continue with the same dose twice daily. I am getting worst- severe fatigue, headache, muscle pain, fever (up to 38), cough, very congested, sore throat. I believe that all diseases even cancer and AIDS can be treated with natural sources, and I believe that alkalizing the body is the key factor. But what is wrong with me now, shall I continue, is all this normal reactions?
