Does Apple Cider Vinegar cure reflux? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

Hi all,
I am new to this board. I have not been diagnosed yet with acid reflux, but feel like I might have it. I have been getting reflux and some nausea some of the time. I also feel like I am clearing my throat alot when I feel the symptoms.

I read somewhere that drinking Apple Cider Vinegar can cure acid reflux. Anyone know about this? Does this work?

I would love to hear your stories!

Thanks,

Matty

hi, just wanted to add that I too have tried the Braggs vinegar, and the jury's still out in my opinion, but want to caution, that when you use it to be sure to dilute it in water-- ratio 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar. otherwise you will end up with worse symptoms and may do damage to your esophagus.
Maybe you will find relief, good luck.

What is Braggs vinegar, where do you get it, and how does that help reflux? I've read that on here several times and I'd like to try it if it really works. This is so frustrating. I was taking Prilosec OTC 2x/day, one in the morning and one in early evening. I read alot of posts saying that in people with LPR (which is what I think I have) it helps more if you take the 2 together. The past 3 days I have done that and it seems worse than before. I'm really frustrated. My throat feels like it's burning.
