I told a friend who had incidents of severe heartburn about the vinegar remedy. I was immediately “poo-pooed”. A few months later, he called me at 3am in terrible pain...begging me to tell him what the remedy was again. He was in an RV parked somewhere in the boonies and didn’t have access to a pharmacy. Half asleep, I told him how much vinegar to use. The next day I called to check on him...and he said. “Man!! It worked really well but burned like h@ll going down”. I asked, “You didn’t dilute it with water?” Nooooooo. *chuckle*
Using vinegar seems really counterintuitive for heartburn since it’s acidic. But supposedly it works by causing your body to sense acidity in the stomach which triggers the sphincter at the bottom of the esophagus to close. I rarely get heartburn but have been curious to try it.
Hell I like the burn! It’s like a shot of Tequila.
I actually take a shot of Vinegar prior to eating if I drink coffee before breakfast or if I have had a carbonated beverage before eating any meal... acid reflux or heartburn is always caused by low acidity in the stomach ... bring the acid up before or after the meal ... no more problemos (better before than after and remember to Salt to Taste)
Works every time... since I discovered this ... I have not had any Heartburn at all (YEARS) if I can’t find Vinegar I order a couple of sides of pickles, one for before and one for after and I can eat like a Billy Goat and Fart like my Dog Steve, (who will get blamed for all passed gas and gladly accept the attention)
