ACV Side Effects for Apple Cider Vinegar Side Effects

I tried acv for a bladder infection. Because of the bad taste, I took 2 tsp. straight. Beware! I was nauseous for hours and my esphogus and tongue feel burnt! So much for a remedy- I will be heading to the doctor's for antiobiotics and now instead of one problem I now have two!

I was using ACV 2 tbsp in water 4 x day for 3 mon straight. Because of really bad vaginal itching I thought I should take a break. I stopped over the weekend, today is Tuesday, and my skin itches, I have pink eye, sore throat, sore neck, face breakouts--coincidence???? Any feedback?

I am new to the ACV remedy. I want to take the ACV to lose 20 pounds. About 2 months ago, I started taking estrogen & progesterone. I have gained over 6 pounds in the mid-section. I stopped taking the hormones now. I am 52 years old. I have been taking ACV 3X/day, 2T ACV + 1/4t BS in 8 oz water for about 10 days. I take it before breakfast, after lunch & after dinner. I haven't lost any weight yet. But my blood pressure has gone up quite a bit from 113/72 (with BP medication) to 142/82 and starts getting headaches. Has anyone have the similar problem with ACV? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your responds.

ACV gives me heart burn the instant I drink it! Isnt it a aid in the reduction of heart burn and reflux? Help! Heart burning in CT
EC: Some brands of ACV are more acidic than others, even though they state 5% acidity on the bottle...

I feel I sleep better when taking ACV and since I have a problem with high blood pressure it is helpful in that regard also. I do have a problem though, whenever I take it for awhile, like 3 or 4 days I get constipated. Do you know why? Lately I have been taking it by itself, I don't like it with juice or water, however, I could go back to taking it that way.

Hi. I am a new user of ACV and am very pleased and surprised at the way it is helped me to feel better. I know that I have always struggled with candidiasis, but never got the complete relief from it using other remedies. The ACV has made an incredible difference in how I feel. I have also experienced the other benefits of increased energy, decreased anxiety, better sleep. However, there is one concern I have that I hope someone can help me with. Sometimes when I take the ACV it seems to upset my stomach. Help! I really value this remedy, but I'm concerned about stomach upset. Thanks.

Just started using ACV for acid reflux but I'm so tired since I started. Is this a side affect? When can I expect to have energy? Also by the way the ACV worked the first day for my acid reflux.
