ACV cured my acid reflux as soon as I took my first dose with grape juice. I've been taking PRILOSEC for a year and it wasn't working anymore. I found this site and am so relieved to have a good nights sleep.Thanks so much Earth Clinic for the info.
Thank you thank you!!! I've had bad heartburn for years now.. my boyfriend kept telling me about this vinegar cure he'd heard about.. he found this site and showed it to me.. I was sooo desperate that i finally decided to try a teaspoon full of apple cider vinegar.. WOW!!! it worked in minutes. I felt the heartburn go away and could burp again without feeling any burning! thanks again!! an I can only say to anyone thinking about trying this.. just take a teaspoon full.. it works and you have nothing to lose!!
I have been on vinegar and honey for about four days and I can see a big difference in my acid reflux. I also eat slices of Red Delicious apples a few times a day. Thanks for your articles.
Here's my story if anybody cares to read it. Labor Day 2005 my wife and I were watching TV and all of a sudden I was having chest pains really bad. i told my wife she was going to have to take me to the hospital. She had to get her clothes on and by the time she changed her clothes and said lets go I told her I didn't think I could make it so she called 911 and they were here in about 3 minutes. They treated me like I was having a heart attack. Baby aspirin, nitro etc.and I thought I was too. They took me to the hospital in the ambulance after treating me at home for about 45 minutes and I was there for 3 days and had all kinds of tests run. The next day after all those tests they told me to go home because they couldn't find anything wrong with my heart.The total bill was over $15,000.00. My primary Dr. told me he thought it was acid reflux and gave me a prescription for prevacid that cost $134.00 and I refused to get it filled. I came home and got on the internet and googled acid reflux and found this site and started using apple cider everytime I felt a 100 lb grandchild sitting on my chest (or that's what it felt like). In just a couple of minutes after taking a teaspoon of apple cider vingar straight the pain was gone. And it has worked everytime since. THANKS FOR THIS WEB PAGE AND ALL THE INFO FOUND HERE.

I thought I was having a heart attack at work the other night-I had chest pain and back pain but found out through all kinds of testing that it was just acid reflux. I was prescribed Nexium --it just didn't work for me too long--I would wake up every morning with pressure in my throat.I work nights and would have chest pain and a constant kind of pressure in my throat every night while at work around midnight,(no burning, but pain) I looked on line for a natural cure and found this site. Through advice of my friend I use 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with grape juice. It has been two weeks now and I haven't had an episode of pain. I also don't watch my diet and I can't believe it. They laugh at me at work because I have a shot glass next to my vinegar and I mix it with grapejuice. I am not laughing because it works and it is sure alot cheaper than buying Nexium. Thanks so much for the cure.
I am a 15 year old male and I was diagnosed with acid reflux three years ago I didn't pay much attiontion to it until it started hurting really bad, infact it hurted so bad it effected my school work, and homework. Eventually I couldn't handle it no longer so I went to the doctor. now here I am. The docters have given me everything known to treat acid reflux. However, the doctrs never did give me any thing "natural" simply because it would damage the profitts of these large multibillion dollar corporations. Well, as a courius young man I am, I went to Google and typed in Acid Reflux Natural Cures and after a few minutes of searching I stumbled upon this sight. Luckly my grandmother was just about to go to the local food store so I asked her to pick me up some Apple Cider Vinegar, she asked "why?" and I explained. After the 15 seconds of explaining she finally said acid reflux was effecting her also. About three hours later she came back with a gallon of apple cider vinegar. Since then I have been putting two tablespoons inside a 8 ounce cup and I quickly gulp it down. Acid Reflux has yet to bother me or grandmother since the discovery of this sight. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I've been suffering with serious reflux/heartburn for months now. It was mild for several years, but has now progressed. The ACV has worked wonders. I've stopped the prescription Protonix completely. It's been 5 days and when I feel a bout coming on I take 2 T. in 8 oz. water and within a minute or so the intense burn subsides. My stomach does feel a bit sour for about 10-15 minutes after drinking it, but it passes and then I feel great. Truly amazing. I've only had 1 episode of heartburn in those 5 days.
Dear friends: I was suffering of acid reflux for months, the doctors game me prevacid,the reflux got worse and gave me a horrible diarrhea.I took acv and after two days it was gone, now i add two tbs of liquid chlorophyl to the drink. I feel just peachy. thank you.
I'm overweight and often have acid reflux problems. A high-protein/low carb diet definitely works for me in alleviating this acid.... but when I'm bad (eating too late at night or eating too much pastry) I have found that a small glass of apple cider vinegar and water, gulped down, momentarily makes the burning in my esophagus worse--- but then seems to completely get rid of the acid condition. I've tried this several times and each time the results were the same. Rolaids work by neutralizing acid; does vinegar really work by adding more? I don't know, but it does work! One more anecdote: I told someone at my job about it, and she said her grandmother used to swear by it, too: a swig of vinegar helped acid indigestion. She also told me that in the "old days" people would swig some vinegar to see if they had strep throat-- if it burned like hell when it hit the back of the throat, they had it! I would imagine that the acid in the vinegar helped treat the strep, too.
