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.

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.

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

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.

Hi Taylor, sounds like a stomach virus or food poisoning. I think there's a virus going around right now. I hope you've found relief by now. If you are still having troubles try activated charcoal. And make sure you drink a lot of water with it or it can be constipating. I buy it in capsule form. One time when Pepto wasn't doing enough for me I tried activated charcoal and found relief. It's very safe.

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'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.

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.

I'm having a horrible time with my stomach. I woke up last night feeling very unsettled and then almost immediately I started vomiting and having diarrhea. I can't keep anything down. Not even the smallest annount of water and now I'm dry heaving very badly. I am a firm believer in Apple Cider Vinegar but I'm worried to take it because I just fear I'll throw it up. I need help!

My daughter had that happen to her and she too was afraid to drink the ACV for fear she would throw it up. Then I remembered that drinking is not the only way to get fluid into your system. I made ice cubes out of ACV and water and let her suck on them and I put her in a bath where I'd poured in about a quarter cup of ACV. She started feeling better that night.

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!

Have you tried probiotics for your daughter's stomach pains?

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.

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

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.

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!
