Heartburn/Acid reflux. Apple cider Vinegar as home remedy, side effects must know!
My subscriber want to stop PPI (Omeprazole, Prilosec, Prevacid, Aciphex, Protonix, Pantoprazole, Nexium) and treat acid reflux with Apple Cider Vinegar.
My advice is: do not stop the drug abruptly, because you may develop rebound effect: you will produce more HCL in the absence of the drug and consequently will have more GERD/ Acid Reflux. Discontinue it slowly, see my YouTube video how to do it: How to stop Proton Pump Inhibitors (Protonix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dxAr...
The best approach to this problem would be: Identify the cause of your Acid Reflux/Heartburn, see my video on this topic: 8 Common causes of Acid Reflux and GERD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6fWR... , address the problem and then you may start to discontinue the drug. When you are free of GERD/ Heartburn, the you may introduce ACV.
The most common side effects of ACV are: electrolytes disbalance, osteoporosis/osteopenia and teeth enamel erosion.
electrolytes disbalance and osteoporosis will develop after many month of using ACV, however, enamel erosion will develop in 2-4 weeks after using ACV daily.
How to overcome side effects of apple cider vinegar?
When using ACV use a straw and put it far behind your teeth. Rings your mouth after every use of ACV stay healthy.
