[YEA] 03/24/2008: Emma from London, England writes: "I have been using ACV now since relegiously reading article on your site almost a year now. My whole family recently came down with stomach flu and myself, and my son age 5 who loves vinegar drank a spoonfull of ACV every few hours and overcame the illness within 24 hours. I did not vomit. my son only vomited once, that was before he took the ACV then he made an instant recovery. My husband and daughter who refused to take it and thought I was mad suffered for days with crippling stomach pains and unable to keep any food down...
Thank god for your site wish I knew about it along time ago It could have saved me so much illness."
06/22/2009: Alexis from Pinecrest, Ca replies: "Norwalk virus (which is the "main" stomach bug virus) resolves within 24 hours of onset of symptoms.It's a short illness but horrible!
The only way to become infected with Noro virus is to ingest the contaminated fecal/vomit particles via oral route but it is possible to breathe in the illness. Proper hand washing will prevent from getting it.
Just thought I'd tell you since you have a youngin and they tend to contract them more."

[YEA] 01/17/2008: Brent from West Allis, WI writes: "I went to the mall earlier today, where I ate at one of the restraunts in the food oourt. 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."

[YEA] 01/17/2008: Lana from Pearl City, HI writes: "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."

[YEA] 01/15/2008: Raoul from Wellington, New Zealand writes: "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."

[NAY] 12/31/2007: Tully from Houston, Tx writes: "I really wish I could say that ACV worked for my food poisoning but I' just couldn't get it down. I tried it and my body just wouldn't take it down. I'm not a vinger lover which doesn't help. I'm sure I could have benefited from it- but I just couldn't swallow it."
09/08/2008: Gary from Toronto, Canada replies: "I'm a reflux sufferer and had the same qualms with drinking the horrible stuff. So, I poured about 3 tbls into a bottom of a glass and topped it up with Apple Cider that I had left over from a pork roast recipe. I went down with a bit of a sting but beat the crap out of drinking it straight! My stomach doesn't seem upset by the cocktail and I'm waiting to see if I have another bout with the bathroom - it's been 4 days of constant cramps and diarrhea and I'm hoping this works..."

[YEA] 12/21/2007: Ana from Gainesville, FL writes: "
About four months ago, my boyfriend and I used ACV to fight against a bug that had been going around. We had been looking at ACV as a possible addition to our diet because of all its reported benefits, so we had a bottle in the cabinet already and thought we might as well give it a try. My boyfriend got a sore throat first, so we both decided to' use ACV (diluted in hot water) to gargle and drinking a little bit (pure) for about three days straight. All of our friends went through weeks of a painful sore throat, coughing, and feeling terrible...but thanks to ACV, my boyfriend and I barely even felt sick for a day, and I have not had a cold since.
Also, one night I came home and I had a familiar feeling of feverishness, nauseousness and intestinal discomfort. I had felt the same way twice before when I had gotten the stomach flu, and I knew what was coming. I was shivering and miserable, but I felt like there was nothing that I could do to help myself and that I would just have to go through the hours and hours of sleeplessness, vomiting and exhaustion. My boyfriend went online and searched for a home cure for the stomach flu. ACV came up on Earthclinic, and I was willing to try it again because of how well it worked on my sore throat. I took two tablespoons directly. It wasn't hard at all, and I actually like the taste. Afterwards I experienced approximately 20 minutes of (very very mild) heartburn. About 10 minutes later, I started feeling better, and about 30-45 minutes later, I felt entirely fine. A little bit of the nauseousness returned the next night, but two more table spoons of ACV fixed that. A couple weeks later (I have bad luck) I got food poisoning from some korean food. Two tablespoons of ACV cured that too.
I'm convinced that ACV can cure a lot of things and really improve your health. I would drink it three times a day if I wasn't afraid of possible degenerative effects it might have on my teeth enamel."

[YEA] 11/29/2007: Ajane from Orlando, USA writes: "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!"

[YEA] 11/25/2007: Sandy from In the sticks, Nevada writes: "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."

[NAY] 10/23/2007: CE from Los Angeles, California writes: "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."

[YEA] 10/09/2007: Amber from Napa, CA writes: "After a long night and a trip to a fast food restaurant, I woke up at around 3am vomiting every half hour or so. I have had food poisoning in the past and have always thought I had to let it run it's course. What a miserable feeling! My boyfriend and I were in town visiting his mother, so that morning we went to her house were I continued to be ill and quite miserable. His mom saw that I was in a lot of pain and wanted to find a remedy for me. Shortly after searching the internet,she and my boyfriend went to the local grocery store and purchased the store brand acv for me. Within minutes after taking the 2 tbsp. I went from feeling horrible and sick to my stomach to feeling like a new person and full of energy. I was ill once more after taking the acv, but I had felt it coming on before I took it, and after that I was done vomiting and revitalized. To this day I tell everyone about this great cure whether or not they have food poisoning. I want to spread the word and make sure no one goes through that terrible experience unecessarily. Thank you for posting this helpful information."

[YEA] 10/06/2007: Stella from Chelmsford, Essex, England UK writes: "I had explosive diarrhoea for a period of 4 weeks travelling in China from Beijing to Xian. No chemicals did anything but treat the symptoms. Upon returning home and taking an anti-biotic the diarrhoe went from explosive to less explosive. Test came back a "virus". I was getting really down by this and starting trawling th intenet. I came upon this site and through I'd try the cider vinegar - what did I have to lose. After my first dose I felt a difference right away. My stomach felt "different". I continued with the cider vinegar and 3 months later, I am completely cured. It didn't happen overnight for me as I had 4 weeks in China to recover from. But I am so grateful for finding this site. I'm also thankful for all the comments that persuaded me to give it a try. Thanks to all those who posted comments as you certainly gave me the confidence to give it a go - your comments cured 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."

It cured it instantly within one minute."

[YEA] 09/25/2007: Melissa from Los Angeles, CA writes: "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!!!"

[YEA] 09/03/2007: Sonia from Hamilton, New Zealand writes: "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!"

[NAY] 08/09/2007: Gina from Binghamton, NY writes: "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."

[YEA] 08/08/2007: Elisa from Tuscaloosa, Alabama writes: "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!"

[YEA] 08/01/2007: Steve from Colorado Springs, CO writes: "This is the second time your ACV remedy for food poisoning has bailed me out. It usually hits me the same - about 11 PM to Midnight I wake up with cold sweat and my stomach in a knot. I used to know that I was in for a long night of agony riding it out. But the 2 tbsp. of vinegar straight down the hatch is a miracle. The first time you will think you are never going to catch your breath - it is that strong. But in a half hour when you can lay down without heaving, you will be glad you took it. Remember the baking soda rinse, too. New teeth can be expensive!"

[YEA] 07/16/2007: Mike from Port Angeles, WA, USA writes: "Last night I ate some hot dogs that had been in the freezer for a while. About 4 hours later I woke with explosive diarrhea and a sour stomach. Fearing I was on the brink of food poisoning I went to the local market and got ACV and baking soda to rinse my mouth with. Reading the testimonials I was apprehensive that drinking the ACV would be a terrible experience. As I drank it I remembered that it was what I put on my fish and chips! didn't taste too bad. It did take my breath away though! The foaming of the baking soda rinse was different but a needed experience to save my teeth. So far so good - There was little burning (like taking a shot of whiskey or other strong liquor) but it turned into a nice warm fuzzy feeling in my gut. Thanks for having this available to the public to read and share! Mike"

[YEA] 07/12/2007: Jackie from Northern California, USA writes: "My boyfriend just came home from work complaining of being sick. Throwing up, diarrhea and severe back pain. He never gets sick so I suspected something he ate but the back pain threw me off. I came across this site and found the ACV remedy. So far,so good. He has stopped whining and is now asleep. I'm guessing the back pain was from throwing up pretty hard. Wish I had known about this last year when I got food poisoning from under cooked corn dogs."

Nothing came up, but I was dropping a lot out the other end, but not diarrhea . (Sorry for the graphic description.) I went online for cures for food poisoning and everyone was raving about the quick relief from apple cider vinegar. I shot some down and it worked! Some relief in 15-20 minutes. I'm a believer. Extra acid to help the stomach out I guess. Then brushed my teeth with a baking soda toothpaste to save the enamel. Thanks! Pass the word around to help anyone suffering the awful effects of food poisoning."

[YEA] 06/24/2007: Sofia from Sydney, Australia writes: "My boyfriend came home from the pub very drunk last night and was very hungry. So he put together a turkey sandwich with ingredients from the fridge, eat it and then went to bed. An hour later I woke up to him bolting out of the room to go to the toilet. For the next half an hour he was vomiting ferociously and his diarrhea was diabolical! I asked him what he had eaten and he said he'd made a turkey sandwich. I was a bit confused as I hadn't actually cooked any turkey! I went to look in the fridge and he'd made the sandwich out of raw turkey...what a donkey! So I searched the net and found this site, so I rushed to the 24hr convenience store and got some ACV. He took 2 tablespoons in a shot glass and thought he was going to through up for the next 10 mins, but managed to keep it all down. He is now lying in bed feeling fine...although i do have to say that his farts are still the worst thing i have ever smelt! Hopefully he'll be going to the toilet soon to get rid of all that raw turkey he consumed. What an idiot! Thanks for the tip it worked a treat...I keep laughing every time I think about it!"

[YEA] 06/19/2007: Pat from Dallas, Texas writes: "I came down with a case of food poisoning last night. This seems to happen to me about once every year or 2. And I always just ride it out. But this time, the pains were unbearable. I was literally screaming out loud. I couldn't take it much more. So I searched the internet and came across this site. I just happened to have bought a bottle of apple cider vinegar a few weeks ago. Boy was that lucky! After taking 2 tablespoons, I had no more pain after 10 minutes. No joke! 10 minutes! This really works! I wish I had known about it before now. It would have saved me a lot of pain. But now I know! And so do you! What a great remedy!"

[YEA] 06/13/2007: Tamara from Costa Mesa, CA writes: "I was very sick last night at around 10:30pm (nausea, cramping, throwing up) after eating sushi at Ten in Newport Beach. I thought it tasted a bit funny, but ate it anyway. I tried pepto bismol tabs, since all the local health food stores were closed; that's the only thing the regular market had to offer me. I ended up throwing those up as well. I then found this site and rushed back to the market for some ACV. I was somewhat prepared that it would taste horrible, but words cannot even describe it! I took two tablespoons and rinsed with baking soda water. It was the most rancid, buring sensation I have ever experienced. And the baking soda water foamed in my mouth, making the experience even more gruesome. BUT, about 15 minutes afterward, I was feeling much better. I guess the "pain" was worth it. I was able to fall asleep at around 1:00am. THANKS!!"
