I am just getting over a lovely couple of days from food poisoning. Went to a local seafood restaurant had an awful dish that was supposed to be shrimp Alfredo. (92% sure it's where the food poisoning came from) Upon leaving the restaurant, noticed my stomach unsettled. The next day, my stomach wasn't having it. After roughly 16 hours, I had intense cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, everything ached, and no energy at all and might have - probably did get dehydrated as I couldn't keep anything down. A wonderful time. I use this site very frequently but didn't think about it until a few hours had passed. Upon remembering the site, I Immediately tried the ACV and it came right back up no questions asked. And if anyone has had that happen to them… it's literally the worst.
So I didn't try the acv again and suffered for a few more hours. I then came to after having the weirdest incoherent dreams, aches, and restless sleep. Actually read a few posts on here about ACV and decided to try it again. I only took a couple of cap-fulls of ACV just to be safe and was able to keep it down. I went to sleep. Woke up a few hours later and my stomach was settled about 57- 63% and didn't have the intense cramps or aches. It is the next day and I'm sitting on the toilet writing this, cramp free and for the most part ache free. Stomach is still doing what it wants. But I feel 87% better. (But am probably only like 78% in reality)
So moral of the story is twofold. Think twice about the weird-ass shrimp dish you're about to eat. And it should be known that for the ACV to work it needs to stay in your stomach. So if it comes up, give it some time and try it again or maybe try diluting it a little more. Don't write it off if you just can't keep it down. The first time. At least that's what I learned. Have fun guys.

For 2 days, I had a case of food poisoning and the symptoms were bloated stomach, stomach cramps, chills, fever, and the runs every 10 minutes. I stayed hydrated by drinking water with salt, potassium, magnesium. My appetite was non existent due to the bloated stomach, and I was dead tired from not being able to absorb any food nutrients.
My stomach sounded like a battlefield with loud booms going off every few minutes.
I couldn't sleep because of the discomfort, and it was about midnight when I desperately googled for something, anything, to feel better. Read about ACV here, and I took 2 tablespoons and went to sleep.
The next morning, fever was gone, bloated stomach gone, and my head felt clear again. My appetite came back and I could eat again.
Maybe I was at the tail end of the illness, or maybe ACV did the trick!

Thank you thank you thank you! This was the first day of my grandchildren's three-day visit, and this saved the visit. Food poisoning is normally a 24-hour ordeal. I took a shot of ACV with the mother, had no more symptoms other than feeling bad (not even queasy), and ten minutes later, I was able to take a nap.
Notes: 1. I got it from oatmeal that tasted funny, but I ate it for breakfast anyway a day after making it and leaving it out on the counter. So I knew for certain the cause. 2. I took the ACV within 2 and a half hours of exposure, about 1/2 hour after the first tossing of the cookies.

Agreed, apple cider vinegar is the best remedy for food poisoning. I used it several times in the past year after getting queasy after eating out and scores of times over the past decade. It might not have been food poisoning but a gall bladder attack from too much rich food, and ACV is famous for helping that too. I only take it straight if I am not too nauseous.. But if I am, then I dilute it in apple juice to make it more palatable.

Are you skeptical? I was, too. Had horrible vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps for days. It was really bad — especially the diarrhea. I could do nothing but lie in bed for days and make repeated trips to the bathroom. I went to the ER at three AM because I couldn’t keep anything down. They said it was food poisoning and to just let it run its course. As much as I hate apple cider vinegar, I decided to try it after my mom read all the pages of these reviews to me. I took it straight, diluted in a little water. I gagged, but the vomiting immediately stopped. My diarrhea then stopped being involuntary after a little while—it was just diarrhea when I needed to go, then hardened back up after a few days. This remedy WORKS. If you’re skeptical, believe me, I was too. I tried a ton of things like activated charcoal and all these different teas but they didn’t help. ACV did. I wanted to post this review to all those skeptics out there wondering if this really works. Well, it worked for me (a teenage girl) and I’m as skeptical as they come. There is hope — just try it.

I ate old cake a few hours ago. As soon as it digested, I described it as little bacteria people chomping on my intestines, so instinct told me to drink apple cider vinegar and I had instant relief.

I ate some chicken that had stayed out too long. The next morning I had a head ache, dizziness, and later nausea. I felt tired and laid down for several hours. I suffered the day then in the early evening, I found this site on the internet. I tried two spoonfuls of ACV to a half glass of water. It didn't work immediately. so after a few minutes, I tried 4 spoons to a half glass of water. I was expecting to vomit right away. After sitting down for a few minutes I decided to walk around. That helped and I vomited a second time. After that, the head ache, nausea, and dizziness subsided but did not go away, but the ACV did help within minutes.
