Guest guest Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi Lovell, Are you having to take anything for the Gerd? Recently read that with taking acid blockers, you will not be able to absorb b vitamins,as they need acid to be absorbed. I used to take the fresh lemon juice in water with meals, and my sister(who has had ulcers) takes the organic apple cider vinegar. Even a healthy person is only about to absorb a small amount of the Bs in a supplement. google b 12, or b deficiency. c > > Joanne,As you know I have GERD and esophageal ulcers. Â Last June I had an endoscope. Â Since reading about H.Pylori and Fibromyalgia connection, I contacted the doctor and was told that they did not check for h.pylori. Â I would think that that would be standard practice when doing an endoscope on a person that has ulcers. Â Anyway, I have made an appointment with a new doctor and will be seeing him next week. Â Hopefully he will check for h.pylori. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hi Lovell Are you saying that Apple Cider Vinegar has blood thinning properties? I am interested I am on a blood thinner and take Pradaxa which is a new Blood thinner in the USA and I also have GERD. My chiropractor many years ago told me taking the prescribed meds will cause poor absorb issues and it was safe to take if your GERD was bad for two weeks and then to eat an apple a day and to take Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. For some reason I could never find it and so I would drink apple juice. Since 2010 I have been taking Braggs Apple Vinegar and feel that it has helped my GERD, overall digestive issues and my fibromyalgia. I had a stroke at the end of March and was put on Coumadin but could not tolerate it and a doctor friend told me about Pradaxa which does not have Warfin which is rat poison in it and I dont have any issues with Pradaxa, also you dont have to have your blood tested. But since I had the stroke I have not been remembering to do the Apple Cider Vinegar all the time.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Joanne, I am not sure exactly, but some acid reflux is really low stomach acid problems, and the vinegar is an acid, and seems to help. I have never tried Hydrocloric acid. I think the lemon water I took for year or so helped me, but have not been doing it lately. I think my digestion is better now, I am really not sure I need the vinegar now, as the diet itself will aid the digestion too. You have commented on how so much is involved with the bacteria trying to help, so without the diet, the body is limited in the healing. I wish my sister would go more on the diet. She does not eat a lot of junk, but she still has migraines occasionally, and chronic pain. C > > , > > How doses the Apple cider Vinager help?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi, if you are in Bee's group, you can check the posts. some have been able to get off those, but there was some stomach pain at first. I used to take those for a while, but mine was more of a burning throat. looking back I think it was because of toxins I was around at the time. I think the medications hurt my absorption, as I ended up with more problems. I did quit them, but cannot remember how long I was on them. the diet of Bee's will help, but it is not a quick fix. I don't think we need a lot of acid. I do take my calcium and magnesium as citrate, which adds a bit of citrus which helps. Bee's web site may still have the lemon drink info. We cannot handle too much lemons. I think they were still causing cravings for me, and I got along without them. We can try to do a lot to help our symptoms, and I have done that, but there will be a time when we no longer have the symptoms, and will not need a particular herb, or treatment(even natural) ones.
