Apple Cider Vinegar?

[Jacqueline333]

I just returned from the AARP Covention, and spoke to a representative from a company that makes products to cut body acidity.

One of the natural remedies they suggested was the use of Apple Cider Vinegar....for example 2 teaspoons in a glass of water would cut the body acidity.

The person I spoke to wasn't really familiar with IC...just the general idea of converting a persons' PH to a more Alkaline balance.

Does anyone know if Apple cider Vinegar is more effective then what I'm doing now,---(using a teaspoon of baking soda in water---and taking Prelief about 4 times a day?)

Thanks so much :)

I have heard of this before; my only concern would be the actual vinegar. Many IC'ers cannot tolerate vinegar. I could tolerate a small amount on my salad if I take a few prelief tablets. However, everyone is different. I would think it depends on how your bladder reacts to the vinegar. liz

If the soda is helping you, I honestly think the vinegar would be an irritant since it's the absolute opposite of the soda. I can't tolerate vinegar except in very tiny amounts and with several Prelief beforehand.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!
You folks are all fabulous.
What an amazing feeling to know I'm not out there all alone with this.

I do want to mention a product I discovered that seems to help.
It's called Coffee Tamer---but can be used in many acidic beverages, as well as sprinkled on acidic food.
I've only used it in regular tea so far---but I'm happy with the results.

Here's a website to read about it.

I think, after reading the replies to my first post...I will just stay with the baking soda and Prelief vs. the Apple Cider Vinegar. :hi:

I tried the apple cider vingar thing, I used organic apple cider vingar, but I broke out in hives. It works if you're not allergic.
