I just recently started going to Earthclinic.com referred 2 by my mother. Lastn ight my daughter threw up 4 times between 1:30 am & 4:30 am.She'd returned the morning b4 from S Padre Island where she'd gone 4 the weekend 4 spring break around 11:30 am. When she arrived home, she ate cereal after feeding her hampters, kittens & puppy. She then went 2 her boyfriends house where she drank 2 big glasses of orange juice. She couldn't think of n e thing else she'd had besides the oj th@ may hav made her sick. Finally I got on the internet, looked u up & searched under throwing up, then food poisoning, where i came 2 acv. W had just bought acv last time i'd gone 2 the store bcoz i'd read it was a cureall basically n ur articles. She's still not feeling well, but she hasn't thrown up since. I'm not quite sure th@s the best thing however. Shouldn't she throw all the food poisoning up? Please let me know.

I went to the mall earlier today, where I ate at one of the restraunts in the food court. Just as I got home, I was on the toilet. I had some bad painful diarrhea. I figured I woudld search for a home remedy to what I believe would be some sort of food poisoning. I wasn't sure if we had any Apple Cider Vinegar, but I figured I would look. I'm sipping some now, on ice as I type this. I've never drank the stuff, but it's not too bad. It's very sour, but I can sip it. My stomach is already feeling better. I don't have to keep running to the bathroom.

Two weeks ago, my Fiance had food poisoning and was' in and out of the bathroom for about 12 hours. So i went online and read on this article that Apple Cider Vinegar would help. I had him take two tablespoons. He said he did feel better, but this only lasted for an hour and went back to hugging the toilet. This made me wonder if ACV really did work. Well, last night it was my turn to get food poisoning. But as soon as i felt that i was feeling sick i immediately took 1 tablespoon (that's as much as i could handle) of ACV. I only went to the bathroom ONCE after, and immediately felt better all throughout the day! I now believe that ACV works very well, but you must remember to take it ASAP! It didn't work on my Fiance because he was too dehydrated already, but it worked for me by preventing me from getting worse.

My girlfriend ate a tuna, cheese and bean toastie on vogels and shortly after felt sick. We went to the movies where half way through she had to go to the toilet. There she spewed and had diarrhoea (at the same time!). Then to make matters worse she discovered that there was no toilet paper available. So she cut up her knickers and used that. Which blocked the toilet. After the movie she was burbing like a demon possessed. When we got home I looked up this website and food the suggestion of using ACV. I found some ACV & honey called Honeygar. However it was 3.5 years past the use by date. I gave it to her anyway and she feels much better. Thank you.

When I got food poisoning last night at 4am I had no AVC, but i did have distilled white vinegar. I had my husband pour a tall glass of water with 1 tbsp of white vinegar and I drank about 2/3rd's of it. Normally when I get food poisoning I'm in the bathroom for 5-6 hours throwing up and having terrible stomach pain. Last night I throw up only twice. I was able to leave the bathroom after an hour of waiting and my terrible tummy pain weakened after two hours.Three hours after it started I was sleeping again, and even though I still feel somewhat weak today I'm really glad I remembered to use it last night.

I believe I contracted water poisoning from our tap, being that we had no water and I was really thirsty. On top of that, I'd let it sit out and all the chemicals had settled to the bottom. So I felt really weak the next day and had diarrhea and nausea the next day. I was completely miserable. Later that night, I felt like throwing up but couldn't. Finally I looked online for remedies and found this site. Luckily, we had apple cider vinegar and I'd taken it before for a bad cold and sore throat. I took it and immediately threw up. This may sound bad but I felt halfway back to normal and the nausea was gone. I took some more since I'd just thrown it up just five minutes ago. But it was way easier the second time and I already feel better already! At least try it!

ACV is the first thing we reach for when our tummies feel out of sorts. A tablespoon of ACV in a tall glass of water has helped us many times and usually very quickly. We try to take it the minute we get that feeling of sickness. Just sip it and take it easy until you start to feel better. I have had it work almost immediately -- sometimes it takes up to an hour. I wish I had known about ACV years ago, as I am prone to food poisoning.

I thought I had food poisoning yesterday morning from a brunch buffet the previous day. I was vomitting and had diarrhea. I really believed the ACV would work, after reading the testimonials. 3 times during the day I took 2 tablespoons of ACV. Each time, I held it down for about 10-20 minutes, then I vomitted. Everything I consumed that day, including pepto bismol, I vomitted after taking the ACV. I finally went to the doctor and was so dehydrated that they had to put me on IV to rehydrate before releasing me. Then they injected Zorphin (?), an anti-nausea medication, and had me sip pedialite every 20 minutes, and I felt much better. I was disappointed to learn ACV doesn't work for everyone. I appreciate the site, though.

ACV is not person-specific, it's microbe-specific. Clearly, not all food poisoning is caused by the same bug. this means ACV may work for you in the future IF the bug you get a dose of in your food can be neutralized by ACV.

Excellent! I've been suffering for about 24 hours with food poisoning - the cramping and diarrhea have been the worse part for me. About an hour ago, I left work to pick up the AVC and baking soda. I'm feeling much better now. The cramping subsided within about 30 minutes.

ACV cures food poisoning. Had a bad stomach pain and diarrhea after eating a grilled barbecue meat chicken and steak. Had to go to hospital prescribed antibiotic for bacterial salmonella. It sure help and cured it. Then it happened again, I felt same symptoms next day. This time i took 2 teaspoon nondiluted acv. It cured it instantly within one minute.

My brother was feeling really terrible - dizziness, pounding headaches and queasiness in AM - by noon, he could barely drive or walk. He had diarrhea and a sour stomach that later turned to constant vomiting. I was scared, because I have never seen my brother so sick - he is a 10 time marathon runner, cyclist & an extremely healthy & strong person. He said that he thought that he had gotten food poisoning. I went on the internet and found this site that described the symptoms and cure. I told him to take 2-tablespoons of ACV ...he was hesitant, because the thought of it made his stomach feel even worst. I read to him the other stories on this site while he was on the bathroom floor by the toilet. It wasn't too long 'til he mustered up the guts to take the ACV because he could feel the vomiting symptoms coming back and in less than 10 minutes after taking the ACV - he was already feeling better and could feel his system stabilizing. By 30-minutes later, he was @ almost a 100% recovery. He says that when he travels - he will always make sure that one of those 3-ounce liquid containers that TSA allow you to carry on will be 3-ounce of ACV!!!

After 3 days of agony I jumped online to see if there were any home remedies for food poisoning. I think i ate bad meat or it came from eating an apple, either way the pain was unbearable. After reading this remedy from this site my darling husband went and found some Apple cider vinegar from the supermarket.. i was prepared for a burning sensation as others suggested it would be like, but i like vinegar so i found it quite nice and no burning whatsoever. the results were pretty much immediate although a little groggy which I think is due to being dehydrated,' the pains in my tummy have gone and i feel 100% better than what i did before. I only wish i knew of this 3 days ago.. thanks to everyone who has posted..I truley reccommend this home remedy!

I have been suffering from acute food poisoning for 4 hours now. Ironically, I contracted it eating a salad I made with nonorganic apple cider vinegar, approx, 3 tablespoons, for the dressing. So either I would be in the hospital now if I hadn't had the ACV, or this cure doesn't seem to help everyone.

A week ago, I was working outside, got too hot, had all the signs of a heat stroke and apparently some sort of poisoning - food or other - inhalation or absorbtion - and have been violently ill ever since. For a week, I have not even kept water down - going at both ends several times a day - lost more than 7 lbs in a week. About 2 days ago I found this website and had my husband buy some Apple Cider Vinegar - it sat on the counter for a day until I could get up enough courage to even sip it - since every thing I swallow comes back up violently. Plus I didn't know if I could take it when I had eaten something or when to take it - then I read several more of these stories and decided I could at least get 2 tablespoons down. And I did - and don't do as I did and put it off. It is no big deal - one tablespoon at a time is squat. I began to feel better about 30-45 minutes later. Now it's been a couple of hours and I feel better than I have in a week - I couldn't even hardly hold my head up - I literally slept 20 hours out of every day - Whatever you do, don't wait, get the Apple Cider Vinegar down - I was shocked - but it stayed down for me. I'm getting ready to eat - and really really looking forward to it!
