Apple Cider Vinegar Won't Cure Your Acid Reflux (or Other Digestive Woes)

There is zero scientific evidence that ACV kills bacteria anywhere in the digestive tract.

The Truth About Apple Cider Vinegar

While it's been around for over 2,000 years, apple cider vinegar is only now enjoying its 15 minutes of fame. ACV, as it's known to fans, is increasingly touted as a veritable cure-all for ailments as far ranging as acid reflux and diarrhea to weight problems, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes. But if you'd assumed that this modern day surge in ACV's popularity was due to a spate of new scientific research in support of its medicinal properties … well, you'd be wrong.

All vinegars are produced when specific types of bacteria ferment specific types of alcohol. When red wine is the original alcohol that gets fermented, you wind up with red wine vinegar. Malt vinegar is derived from an ale made from barley, whereas distilled alcohol makes white vinegar. Fermenting apple cider is what gets you ACV. All varieties of vinegar contain a compound called acetic acid in some concentration, usually between 5 and 20 percent.

I have read that certain factions are attempting to dismiss and even purge any and all "alternative medicine" references and sources on the internet.  Just wondering if this article is part of that new 'movement'....?   Many people rely on these home remedies now due to the skyrocketing cost of going to a doctor.  Hmm.....
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

Vinegar WILL stop acid reflux dead in it's tracks if it is due to some dietary deficiency.  I know this to be a fact because I use it for that purpose occasionally.

Some people just drink a cap full from the top of the bottle,but I go to a local stop and rob and buy some of their salad.

It also works great for removing rust.

Seriously, sometimes acid reflux is from too little stomach acid.  I also have used vinegar in place of Tums and it definitely helps.

@jmyrlefuller

I have no idea,and it is irrelevant because Acid Reflux is caused by a LACK of acid in your digestive system.

What? As a person that will literally throw up acid if not for acid pump inhibitor pills, I call bs on that statement.

Yup it works. I think because it actually raises acidity, the stomach quits making more. Chia seeds swallowed will absorb acid, charcoal from the fire will neutralize it...

All three work, for different reasons... one will work for you.

Complete idiots believe this bullshit, that's who. Apple cider vinegar does nothing.

Now prescription omeprazale, that's good stuff.

I was on 2 hits of Prilosec a day for nearly a decade... Diagnosed acid reflux with erosion of the throat and an operation pending...  Increased vinegar in my diet solved the problem. I no longer take prilosec at all. So sorry pal, but you are stone dead wrong.

@Signlass

Call BS all day long if you don't mind being wrong.

I don't know about apple vinegar specifically because I only buy white vinegar,but why not eat something with vinegar in it before you start screaming other people don't know what they are talking about>

Or just buy a bottle and drink a half a cap full and see what happens?

It seems like I had acid reflux half the time when I was a kid. Heartburn off the scales. Didn't discover Rolaids until I was around 12 and somebody told me about them. From that day to a few years ago I never had less than 2 packs of Rolaids on me at any time. I just couldn't afford to run out.

Then someone suggested I try vinegar maybe 10 years ago,and I quit buying Rolaids. Vinegar is more direct and longer lasting.

I keep a gallon of white vinegar around all the time because I use it to remove rust from small antique auto parts,or for emergency acid reflux use. I mostly go to a local stop and rob and buy a serving of their macaroni salad when my stomach starts feeling queasy these days.

You need acid in your stomach to help you digest food. When your stomach acid runs low the food starts to rot in your stomach instead of dissolve,and that's where the burning comes from.

You can believe me or continue to suffer because you would rather suffer than try a simple solution. Your choice.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

Yeah,we prefer to believe our lying bodies,and SMART people spend big bucks for prescription drugs that do the same thing.

Good call!

I tried it multiple times it makes it worse.
