I have done tons of research... prevacid or dexilant etc are meant to take about 2 months, myself and many other people have been on it for years! acid reflux can be caused by TOO LITTLE ACID, so maybe the medication is making it worse, now i am feeling the side effects? (nausea and stomach cramping off and on for last year) or perhaps Apple cider vinegar does neutralize the reflux?

I bet of all the people who have reflux 95% can be helped with ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.... i couldnt go off the meds or i would have heartburn constantly...SO MANY PEOPLE say ACV works, i had the regular one, but they said it has to be organic with mother of the apple?... so i tried it... a few days now, no medication and NO HEARTBURN....         I have a tablespoon of ACV with teaspoon of honey in a big cup of warm water in the morning and the same with supper. There is an occasional person who find it causes more heartburn, if you are taking the ORGANIC VERSION, then its unfortunate ACV isnt helping you

I hate taking medicine if you dont have to, and after years of any medication what does it do to your body?? hope this helps someone out there :-)

    Great post. ACV with mother is how I got myself off from PPIs. The acid speeds up gastric emptying and moves food down faster thus putting less stress on your esophagus. Good luck to everyone.

    There has been a lot of spam about this being sed for weight loss recently, so I am dubious - but, I'll give it a try and if it works I'll report back...
