Re: I think I had a gallbladder attack today & have some questions

[Guest guest]

I think you should make it your routine to use apple cider vinegar before

your meal. I table spoon with a glass of water....i use it with apple

juice, since you have diabetes so i do not know if apple juice would be a

good choice for you.....apple cider vineger will help with fullness and

bloating very effectively......wait for the feedback from other members on

this forum....

Good Luck!
