Had not been sick to my stomach in many years. Contacted a health food store I use frequently for vitamins, explaining I did not know how to stop the problem. He said put 1 teaspoon of ACV in a small (4 oz) glass of water then drink it slower. It worked within 20 minutes - such a relief. If stomach continues being upset, drink 1/2 of the liquid before eating a meal and 1/2 afterwards. When pressure built up in my chest cavity causing much pain, I used the ACV/water solution and it stopped the pressure. Rather than continue using the ACV/water indefinitely, with meals I took 1 capsule of Echinacea 400 mg to break the virus or whatever it was. It worked. But I will remember the ACV/water and use when needed.

On two occasions when I woke up with a really bad stomach ache (making loud churning noises) and felt nauseous. I took two tablespoons of organic ACV followed by water. Within 10-15 minutes it felt like the stomach acids were getting neutralized. The pain, noise, and nauseous feelings were gone. Works a lot better than the pink stuff.

My stomach was hurting bad, so I went to the hospital emergency room they ran test after test and found nothing. They sent me home hurting. I walked the floor through the night, because it hurt to even lay down. I decided to google. I found this site about ACV. I put two tablespoon of ACV in 16oz bottle of water sipped for 1/2 hr. Pain stopped and l was able to sleep through the night. Thank-you

I agree that if your daughter has constant pains it could be an allergy. My daughter is 4 yrs old for the past year or more she had pain almost every day. She was tested for gluten and other things. Results were she was gluten intolerant and has a mild allergy to egg whites. Her pain has gone away since I took away eggs and food containing gluten. Hope this helps.

Try to eliminate all the food containing YEAST. Helped me a lot, after years of nausea. Check labels. You will be surprised to find how many foods contain it. Good luck!

I woke up last night with stomachache. I took 2 tsp of ACV in water with lemon juice and it subsided within 1/2 hour. On waking this morning it had come back and was painful so took a bigger dose of ACV with a few drops of lemon juice and water and it is subsiding again. I did try to put up with for ages but it was it was too painful so the ACV is definitely helping.

Raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar has always worked for all of my stomach aches and heartburn (any stomach issues I've had). However, after reading many of these testimonies, it seems that I consume ACV a bit more liberally than the average person. I place the bottle to my lips and take about 8 - 10 swallows. Then, I might rinse & swallow a couple sips of water. Call me crazy, but I like to knock out the problem in a hurry.

So I was just lying in bed with a stomach ache that was really bad. I don't get them often but when I do they hurt bad! I decided to look on-line for any quick fix and also in part because I couldn't sleep when I came upon this site. After reading a bit I decided I would try apple cider vinager to see if it actually worked, plus I was desperate. I put one tablespoon with an 16oz bottle of water and began to sip it. I was surprised because it actually started to work! I feel better now and am happy because now I can go to sleep lol! Just had to post my results for everyone. Next time I have stomach pain I'll grab the ACV first! Thanks and good night!

I'll be your daughter loves pizza. Well, wheat and milk could be your daughter's problem. I agree with the other responder, check for wheat intolerance. Also check MILK intolerance. Usually these two go hand in hand. I had stomach aches all my life since I was in the 7th grade. I thought everyone had them; I was wrong. I did my research when an adult and learned that I have a wheat and milk intolerance/allergy. I am actually allergic to their proteins. I would look at eliminating all wheat (all grains) and milk from your daughters's diet and stick with fruit, veggies, potatoes, rice, meat. (I couldn't even tolerate oatmeal which I loved but always got stomach aches afterward.) After a few weeks, introduce one item at a time and see if she gets stomach aches. (It took me a year before I could introduce grains and milk safely and I get them again as soon as I go crazy on these foods that are bad for me.) I hope this helps.

ACV may help relieve stomach symptoms. It sounds great. But if your daughter gets a stomach ache every day, I recommond looking up the symptoms of gluten intolerance. She may need to go gluten free.

Apple cider Vinegar in it organic form (meaning: not distilled) is the best for many ailments! I wouldn't be in the house without it. Also, baking soda mixed with water helps to restore the PH levels in your body, back to normal. I believe both are good for you.

I have to correct that! I used 1/8 t. baking soda, 1 T acv and about 4 oz. of water. Sorry!

To Amy from Marietta -- I was giving her 1/4 t. baking soda, 1 T acv and about 4 oz. water and usually just gave once a day before bed. Now I'm reading that the baking soda isn't really recommended so, will probably try just the acv and water. (she's never had any problems that I know of from the baking soda so I'll still use it if the acv alone doesn't help.)
I'm a big fan of probiotics but, have never seen any visible results. We still use them occasionally and drink kefir fairly often because I'm sure it's doing something good even if we don't notice it.
I hope you find something to help your daughter feel better.

My daughter has frequent stomach aches. Can you tell me how much baking soda and ACV you use per day and how you mix it?
Thank you!

I have been having HORRIBLE stomach pain and nausea for months and months since my doc put me on Methadone to get me through until I can get a knee replacement. I have tried EVERYTHING in vain prescription acid pump inhibitors Aloe Vera gel (inner filet) yogurt calcium licorish caps mint All of these helped a little .. but not completely. I was still suffering a lot. Today, after finding this site, I decided to try the ACV. Wow! My stomach feels a lot better and it has only been an hour since I drank about a TBL of it in a half cup of water with a tsp of honey. WOW! Thank you to those who posted before me. Debra

Upset Stomach, Digestive ills -- I keep ACV on hand. In addition, it keeps your body pH acid level in check. I use it anytime I feel sick...which is usually in a moving car with people who are heavy on the pedals..UGGHHH, a horrible feeling. I also drink a bit in a little bit of water before a meal and digestion is greatly improved. Usually, my day is so hectic, at dinnertime if I am still wound, this helps greatly. My brother has terrible allergies and is drinking a bit each day...he says his problems are 80% better. In general it makes a tasty "cocktail" Some spring water, a bit of mineral water, some vinegar, and organic honey, or maple syrup..chill and UUMMMMMM.....UMMMMMMM...Delicious!

I had a stomach ailment since I was around fourteen. Not sure what it was, but found out that my sister, mother and I all shared the same symptoms. So, I thought it was a family issue. Since my teenage years I was not able to drink water first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, nor have rice and water together. If I tried, would feel so ill that I would have to lie down for 20 to 30 min. Nor would my sister and I drink and eat rice together. Even though, I tested the theory over the years, same results. In February of 2006, I was introduced to ACV by a friend. I tried it. Immediately it got rid of indigestion. After the third day of ACV, with much anticipation, I tried a glass of water with my husband by my side. Wow! no discomfort after 23 years. I can't begin to explain how I felt. Now feeling triumph, the next day, I had a glass of water and bowl of rice. I was willing to bare the pain in hopes of a victory. It worked. No discomfort, no curling up in the bed from stomach pains and no more hesitation of drinking a glass of water in the morning. I have now been drinking water every morning (on an empty stomach) since that beautiful day in February. Thanks ACV. After 23 years, I now can have a glass of water first thing in the morning.

For over a year my medical doctors have been unable to find a cause or treatment for my severe abdominal pain that had caused me to be unable to work full-time. They then labeled my problem "anxiety." I finally ran into the idea of hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) and the use of apple cider vinegar and digestive enzymes. WOW! I had almost immediate relief! I even love the taste of the vinegar undiluted. I work for a medical clinic and am extremely disappointed in doctors' lack of knowledge in natural remedies and their insistence on labeling me as having stomach pain as a result of anxiety. I'm glad I accidentally came across this remedy. It has saved my life, in my opinion.

Every 2 days I would get these painful stomach aches that would last to the next day. I went to my doctor and he prescribed something, but it didn't help. So I tried the vinegar, and in a week I felt so much better like I felt before my stomach aches. So I want to say with tears, thank you so much. Bless this site.

Hi, My father-in-law has been suffering from serious stomach problems for as long as I can remember. He took prescriptions that were very strong and costly. He just didn't think their was anything left to try. I suggested he try apple cider vinegar capsules according to directions on the container. A while later he is raving about how well he feels and how all of his prescriptions for various health problems are put aside. I urge people with stomach, intestinal and high blood pressure problems to try acv, they won't regret it. God bless.

I occasionally have bad stomach aches. They are so painful I was desperate for a cure. Over the counter remedies didn't help. In fact they seem to make it worse. I finally decided to get on the internet and I came across this site. I read abou the apple cider vinegar cure and it didn't sound right at first. It made my stomach ache more as I thought about trying it but at that point I couldn't afford to leave any possibility unturned. I tried it and my relief was almost immediate! ... If only the answers to all problems could be this easy! Thanks!

Hi! My daughter has had stomach pains/problems all her life. After CT scans, lots of x-rays, lots of meds (one with a possible side effect being death!, etc.) and no answers, I decided to try to find something natural to help her. I had given her acv before and didn't notice a difference and had given her baking soda without a difference but, after finding this site and putting them together, she has instant relief every time she takes it. I know she has acid reflux sometimes and this stops it right away. She still feels sick at some point every day (usually at night) and this makes her feel better. I can't say that it's been a complete cure for her since she still feels a little bad every day but, it has been such a wonderful blessing to be able to give her this to relieve her pain instead of having to tell her to try to fall asleep so she won't feel bad anymore!! As I type this I realize that even though she is a little sick every day, it's not anywhere near as bad as it was!! Oh, she is 9 now and we've been doing this for about 3 months. Thank you for posting this info. I mention this link to people with health questions often!
