My stomach burns occasionally as well when I drink ACV. It's highly acidic so if need be I will take an antacid with it to balance myself out. Try it!Replied By Randy (Jersey City, Nj, Usa) on 05/25/2011
don't use an antacid.... I don't think those are good for you, and might cause upset stomach.
instead, mix the ACV with baking soda before ingesting. it will bubble up, which is the acid and alkaline mixing. after the bubbles have receded, ok to ingest

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) should not be taken on an empty stomach as it can cause burning. Take it with food each time. This method is also an effective acid reflux/indigestion treatment for many. As far as long term benefits/issues, one should drink ACV with a straw to limit frequent acid contact on teeth.
How to take: 1-3 Tsp ACV (unpasturized, unfiltered) to 1cup water. You may add 2-3 tsp honey (preferrably raw, unfiltered) to make it more palitable.
Drink 1 cup, through a straw, 3 times per day with food.
Honey dissolves much easier in warm, not hot, water Hot water over 130 degrees will kill the good enzymes which make this treatment effective. If you prefer cold drinks make a large batch and refrigerate after dissolving the honey.

I usually get cystitis. Have been on a lot of antibiotics which now I seem immuned. After much reading, I am now staying away of acidy drinks, green tea, chocolate and especially wine. Also, even though I have no discharge bought a yeast kit. Within three days, burning was gone. STAY AWAY FROM ALL FRUIT JUICES.Replied By Katie (Usa) on 10/12/2017
I take with pinch of baking soda. Takes away nasty taste. There is another thread which takes care of uti with apple cider vinegar and baking soda.
