i've been sick with a really bad cold now for 4 days. i developed really bad nasal congestion and was having a lot of trouble breathing and swallowing because of all the mucous. i tend to get a little freaked out about things so i freaked out!! i came online to try to find a home remedy that i can use and i read about the wonders of apple cider vinegar so i literally ran across the street and bought myself a bottle of heinz apple cider vinegar and tried a couple of tbl spoons of the vinegar w/water and it cleared it right away. i'm glad i found this because i'm 1 month pregnant and i didn't wanna take any medications. i have a question though, i'm not a doctor so i don't actualy know if this woud be bad for my baby. would it?

I am a nursing student, but wanted to assure you, that using apple cider vinegar in such small doses will not at all harm your baby invitero. - Though since you original message is from 2006, and you have obviously had your baby - I made my comment to help any other pregnant women who may have the same concern as you did back in 2006....

Hi! I'm seeing a lot of people trying grocery grade processed ACV. I know some people feel the benefit of processed ACV short term, but it can have some icky side effects if it is not organic with the "mother". You will know it is organic unfiltered because it will be cloudy and not clear. It contains "probiotics" and this is what it is tolerated so well in the digestive tract. But the processed filtered ACV like Heinz makes can really have a negative impact on your stomach after a little while. Stick with a good quality unfiltered organic ACV and you will be fine!
