I've found that when I have vomiting due to food poisoning, a tsp of apple cider vinegar in ginger ale stops it almost right away. Sometimes I have to take it a couple of times but it works amazingly.

I got a small bout of food poisoning and was down for the count for the whole day with cramps in my stomach, headache and feeling tired. My wife and her mother are family and internal medicine physicians. They saw me, asked a bunch of questions and told me to let it pass. So disappointed. I have 2 doctors in family and they couldn't help me except to let it pass. I was so hungry and couldn't eat. woke up at midnight in more pain and couldn't sleep. I saw the vinegar and honey remedy on-line and my mom swears by it. I tried it and 10 minutes later, I vomited and felt much better. Drinking fluids and going back to bed. I will drink vinegar and honey in morning. I suspect I will continue to feel better over next 24 hours. What a relief!!!

4 hours after eating, I had sudden nausea and cramping. Upon finding this website, I took a shot glass full of ACV and was relieved of the contents of my stomach about 10 minutes later. Feeling much better now. Thanks to ACV!

I started to get food poisoning symptoms about 2 hours after eating at a restaurant last night. Stomach cramps and nausea. I found your remedy for apple cider vinegar and drank about 2 teaspoons straight right away. Felt better 10 minutes later, thank God. In the middle of the night, I felt the symptoms returning, but mild and drank a small glass of apple cider vinegar in water. Again the symptoms stopped in 10 minutes. Today I drank from my sports bottle a more diluted solution all day. Back to normal plus I feel very energized.

Started using ACV & honey (1 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar +1tsp wild honey) 2 x daily for acid reflux. 2 weeks later reflux gone. Got off my regimen and 2 months later got salmonella, more than likely from contact with my rabbits, ducks, or chickens. 2 days of misery and 15 lbs lighter, I remembered the ACV & honey. Within 20 minutes I was feeling better, 4 hours later I still had gas, but safe to pass! Now I take my medicine every morning and my BM's are regular, strain free, and so non messy? that it only requires 1 piece of paper to do my "paperwork" I now give the ACV to my critters daily too. (Sorry guys, no honey) Wonder if others have had similar results. Thanks for your most helpful site.

Tonight I think some meat was bad that I cooked. Within a couple hours I felt like death. I wasn't sure whether to sit on the toilet or lean over it, if you know what I mean. I just felt like I needed to puke it up but couldn't. Luckily I had just bought some raw organic apple cider vinegar. I drank 2 Tbs with water and literally within minutes I puked all of my contaminated dinner up and I now feel so relieved I could run a marathon. I believe Apple Cider Vinegar does just what your body needs it to do. Seriously a miracle cure right here.

Apple-Cider vinegar did work for food poisoning! My stomach pains went from a level 10 to a level 4 in about 10 minutes. I diluted two tablespoons in warm water and put a little honey in it. I was able to sleep during the night and woke up with no pain at all.

My wife was writhing on the bathroom floor in agony with food poisoning when I got home last night - 10 pm. Huge debilitating stomach cramps, eventual vomiting, cold/hot sweats and tingling hands. Slippery elm and psyllium husks precipitated vomiting, which was cleansing, but the excruciating pain and cramping did not settle until two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar had been ingested. Second vomit was nearly dry retching, so stomach was virtually emptied. This was followed by another two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Now nearly midnight - she settled and slept with a full recovery by morning. Thank you apple cider vinegar and all those who led me to the remedy.

I got really
bad food poisoning on a Friday evening, didn't sleep much that night with stomach cramps and felt bloated and as if I have a huge rock on my stomach. I could only sit or barely stand a couple hours after I ate the bad food. The pain and discomfort, which I won't go into details, lasted for about three days. I was exhausted and had little energy to get around. Just before I was about to call my Doctor to get antibiotics, I went online to read about food poisoning, came across this site remedies, read them, and decided to give ACV a try. I had nothing to lose and it is a very inexpensive trial. I took two gulps of the ACV. I know most of the testimonies suggest one tablespoon full, but I figure I was in a lot of pain, so went for it. The first gulp was like taking a shot of tequila; it burned some but it also felt good at the same time. Then waited a few seconds and took the second gulp; that one went smooth. I did feel the effect of the acid working its way into my stomach and intestines. I then had a different sensation in addition to my pain. Ten minutes later, I drank some water since I took more than recommended dose, and went about my routine. I can't figure out the exact time it took to stop all my pain, but I think it may have been about ten minutes or so total. The pain was gone. My intestines were a bit sore since I have been in pain for about three days. Next morning I woke up feeling well. I took two tablespoons full just to be sure I have killed the bacteria. I now feel very alert, with energy, so excited I discovered this website. I have been sharing my experience with everyone I know and care about. One more note, since ACV did the trick, I wonder what else I could use it for, so I decided to use it as a mouthwash after I brushed my teeth. It left my teeth and gums cleaned.
Thank you to whomever came up with this remedy. I am back to normal again.

Thankfully I haven't had food poisoning in a while, but I've had it enough times to feel it coming on. Cramping, bloating, burps reminiscent of the offending food… I woke at midnight with symptoms and as soon as I realized, I immediately went to EarthClinic to check the dosage, because I know from previous experience ACV works! In the past I sipped an ACV+water mix every two hours overnight. This time I did a one-ounce shot followed by sips of water (and the baking soda rinse to protect my teeth). I'm feeling much better and will probably take another dose at the two-hour mark since my tummy still feels iffy (but much better! ).

2 Tbspoon Organic ACV as soon as you feel trouble in tummy from food poisoning than another teaspoon 3-4 hours later should do the trick. I get frequent problems with food (I travel a lot) so I must eat out a lot and I carry a bottle with me where ever I go now. I also carry cloves, comes in very handy as a mouth freshener after eating meals. Fresh cilantro also is good towards killing food poisoning bacteria but you have to eat a good handful of this herb.

This really worked for me. Thank you so much. After ingesting some rancid fish oil I experienced terrible stomach cramps, chills and diarrhea. My wife gave me Bway's recipe
Drank about 2-3 oz diluted by about 6oz of water (Diluted until it was just tolerable to drink).
and within about 20 min the cramps and chills were gone and diarrhea reduced to where I can rest now.

I dont know if this is true about Apple Cider Vinegar but I just drank 2 tablespoons of it in water after having food poisoning since yesterday. The cramps are the worst I have ever had in my life ( and I have had bad ones). After drinking it my cramps seem to have calmed a bit but still feel the pain somewhat in my stomach. Hope this works and thank you for all the info on this site. It is so useful!
