When do you take the vinegar. With meals or after the onset of symptoms? How much do you drink?
I would sure like to get off of daily Prilosec.
Have you tried every other day? That works perfect for me.
It is recommended to take an ounce (or scant tablespoon) before meals or at onset of symptoms. Be sure that it is organic and non-pasteurized.
You will be surprised with the results. It works fairly immediately.
I do not know why it works. I have heard that lots of prescription drugs (and common processed foods) devastate the digestive enzymes that occur naturally in your digestive tract. Somehow the acid in the vinegar tricks your reflexes and at the same time builds up the enzymes. Over time the enzymes build up and you can cut back on the vinegar.
Hope it helps.
Aloe vera reduces acidity in the gut. Cures ulcers as well, did mine. 2-3 T a day, with a pinch of turmeric or ginger, in a bit of juice. Aloe GEL, not juice. Took it for about 3 months. Felt relief within one or two days and continued until cure.
