Apple Cider Vineger

Lately Ive been dealing with chronic indigestion in the form of nausea and the feeling that the food just sits in my stomach and doesnt digest. Out of curiousity I thought that maybe I wasnt producing enough gastic acid so I took a teaspoon of apple cider viniger with my meals and it helped!

I had read and heard about the medicinal properties of apple cider vineger. I found lots of uses for it in that it helps digestion, cleanses, and I even heard it helps with insomnia.

So in an attempt to get more relief, I added more to my diet and I noticed some strange side effects like major chills, feeling slightly intoxicated, and feel aggitated.

Has anyone heard of or tried apple cider vinegar for medicinal benefit? I do believe there is something to this.

My 8 year old takes in in pill form every day and it seems to get rid of her heartburn. She is not gluten-intolerant. Now, the only thing she can't eat is tomatoes.

My husband has been drinking it for years in his water and never gets sick when he does. He's sick right now ... I'll have to remind him.

STeph,

I was taking this for a week or so for reflux that wasn't being helped by anything else. At first it seemed to help for days and then all the sudden it seemed to not help at all. Possibly making things worse. SO I quit doing it. It is NASTY to drink and I was willing if it was working, but it isn't working. I was having nausea too and the same feeling that my food just seems to sit in my stomach.

I just quit eating dairy today and I am already vegetarian and of course gluten free. I am trying not to eat any processed high fat foods either. I don't know what to eat, but I actually feel better tonight. STarving, but I feel better. I don't know what to tell you, but I did start trying Prilosec again. It may be helping a bit, but it wan't helping completely for sure.

I was having horrible reflux and nothing was helping so I tried some vinegar. I was shocked - my heartburn was gone in minutes. I was on double doses of aciphex, protonix, gaviscon and nothing helped but the vinegar. I hated drinking it because it tastes gross so I got some pills. They are just apple cider vinegar pills from NOW. They help the same although I do have to take more than they say on the bottle - the health food store said that was fine.

You might want to try digestive enzymes. They help you digest your food. I try to take them with ever meal and I only have heartburn issues now when I'm glutened. When I am glutened the heartburn lasts for a few weeks, but the vinegar does help.

Cassidy,

I am wondering if my reflux is from being gluttened. I am pretty sure it is. It started with that. I got gluttened from Taco Bell like 6 weeks ago and I got gluttened at home a few times too. All of course by accident. Oh and once from PF Chang's when they messed my order up. I am hoping it will get better soon.

Yesterday I quit eating for the day basically. Had nothing but cooked veges and fruits. Very boring. I saw an Olive Garden commercial last night and almost wanted to cry! I thought, that was the life when I could eat that food and now I am eating rice cakes, fruits and veges! It is just pitiful!

I have been gluten free for like 18 months now. I miss my old life.

My husband drinks apple cider vinegar every day. At first he said it was gross, but now it doesn't bother him at all. I've never heard of it helping for heartburn, I think I'll have to try it when I get heartburn. Yay! Thank ya'll for posting!

A tsp. of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, with added Stevia to cut the tartness, before meals was a lifesaver for me. I also drank it whenever my stomach hurt from acid reflux/heartburn. (but, I happen to really like the taste of vinegar so it was no hardship)

After a couple months on the gluten-free diet, though, I've had little need for it anymore. I haven't had heartburn since.

Just a side note about digestive enzymes. I could never take them because they would cause either my stomach to hurt or burning with D a day later. When I started getting serious about eliminating corn I noticed that they had corn derivatives in them. I find that now I can take the enzymes as long as there is no corn (or gluten) in them. Just wanted to add this in case someone else has problems with enzymes.

Hey Monica, hang in there. I know that since Ive been gluten free my body has been going through many changes, like not being able to eat as much as I used to and being soooooooo sensitive to food in general. But I believe this is the bodys way of healing itself from many years intestinal distress that was under our radar. Now that our immune systems is no longer under attack the body just needs to catch up and bring us back to homeostasis.

Just think every time you eat those seemingly boring fruits and veggies, your contributing to the healing process all over again. Sooner or later. You will see how much better you feel! :)

STef,

THanks for the encouragement. Yesterday evening wasn't so good. I ate something bad I suppose. Today I wasn't going to eat very much, but have eaten some. Today I feel very good, so that is good. I know several things I probably gluttened myself with and I think I will try removing all soy. I hate to do that, because I am vegetarian, but I don't think it agrees with me and may be contributing to heartburn.

I read somewhere recently it can take 2 years to recover for an adult. I think everytime I am gluttened my stomach just doesn't work for days.

Take care,

MOnica

If you are getting glutened all the time from eating out, I would quit eating out for a while. Taco Bell - I can't imagine eating anything there. If you stick to basics - fruits, veggies, plain rice, hopefully you won't get sick and will be on your way to feeling better.

I miss my old life too. I'm pregnant now and I was literally crying in the middle of the night because I wanted Papa John's pizza. It is hard but at least I'm feeling better.

I use the UNPASTERIZED apple cider vinegar. Not for reflux but for killing yeast. Just a drop in water tastes similar to lemon. Also I use it with olive oil for dressing for salads. You can get it in the health section at the grocer. They call it "The Mother".

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
