Hello.

I have not taken it myself but am thinking about it. I have 3 friends, 2 of whom are very skeptical (type A Firefighters) and they swear by it for reflux. They use 2 tbsp with 2 tbsp of honey and mix it with a glass of water. They drink it with their meals and say they have felt wonderful. There are supposedly many benefits to be gained by the vinegar, but I can't say for sure what they are. The honey should be locally produced and that is supposed to help with allergies. Again, I can't give you a first person report, but that's what I have been told by people I am very close to.

The people at the health food store told me all about it and there are actually books on the stuff. Organic vinegar with the "mother" still in it is supposed to be the best.

Let me know what you find out. I'm curious as well.

Hope that helps!

Good luck,

Jack

I too am suffering with acid reflux. I have been looking to get the raw apple cider vinegar as it is supposed to be the best but have yet to get to a health store to look for it. My local health store has none left. I also found that eating an apple when you have reflux and it helps some. Just had an apple five minutes ago and waiting for ease. Try it and see if it helps until you get the vinegar. I will post when I get the vinegar and see some results.

Bragg is supposed to be a good brand. It's organic with the mother. I picked up a bottle the other day. I actually found it in the natural foods section of my supermarket (near the vitamins). I will give it a try and let you know.

I tried the vinegar last night. I put it in cranberry juice. I actually liked the taste. You have to make sure you brush your teeth after or it will rot your teeth. I had no heartburn after it and I felt pretty good! I will try and post back after using it for a longer period of time.
