It should be fine to dilute the Apple Cider Vinegar in another type of juice or even water. I would pick a less acidic juice though, given the option. I have not used ice for gall bladder pain. I would think it would make you tense up muscles and feel worse. I have used a castor oil pack and heating pad over the gall bladder area during a bad attack and found it helpful.

If you have GERD (gastric reflux disease) DO NOT use ACV. My MD advised against it as it will aggravate the condition.Replied by Jess (Mi, Usa) on 12/10/2015
It is odd that your doctor says not to use Apple Cider Vinegar for GERD. On this site alone 65 people have reported it to help GERD.
