Can someone offer any advice on taking Brag Apple Vinegar Cider? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

Hi all,

Tomorrow, I am going to the Vitamine store to get Apple Vinegar Cider. I have been on Prevacid for several years. Just decide to give a natural remedy a try. How do I start taking it since I have a bad reflux and chronic gastris? before meal or after meal? mix with water?

Thank you.

Proceed cautiously, especially if you're going straight from PPI to ACV. When I asked my ND about this, he suggested using DGL (about 800mg, minimum 4x per day) for at least a week before doing ACV. And when I first used it, I took 1 teaspoon in about 3 ounces of water.

It is easy to overdo it, so be careful.

I still use it, but I don't have to use it often...maybe once or twice a day with a meal.
