Hi all, I started on the apple cider viniger with mother today, fortunately I am really not adverse to the taste in the slightest, and find I can easily manage two tablespoons twice daily in a glass of warm water with a little clear honey to take the edge off.  As I hear it there is bad bacteria in the gut and some people have more than others and an abundance can cause irritation hence IBS and also tests have been done on people fed identical diets where one put on weight and the other fed the apple cider with mother, (apple cider helps illiminate bad bacteria and the mother tops up the good) didn't.  Anyway cheapest I have been able to get this product is on the Boots website, I collected in store, problem here I typed in the name of the product and came back no search results but the product code is .. hang on, I will have to go to an earlier post and update in a sec, but anyway its about £3.50 for a huge bottle and I'll give you the code in a sec, hope this helpful, will update on any weight loss or loss of IBS symptoms in a couple of weeks or so, best wishes, Fiona

    Very interesting Fiona, as a matter of fact a friend of my mothers says she puts two dried figs each day in 200ml apple vinegar and eats them the next day, She changes the vinegar every 14 days. She says that her cholestrol and triglycerides counts are going down by 1 each month, I tried it but the vinegar taste makes me gag,, I wonder what strength the vinegar is that u use?

      Hi, I've looked on the bottle but can't find anything relating to strength, it's funny how we all react differently to different tastes, isn't it, personally I can't stand figs and only find dates just bearable. Don't get me started on oils, too much olive oil in my cooking makes me gippy and the merest whiff of olive oil makes me violently sick!! However I seem fine with anything sharp like the vinegar, which is lucky I guess, especially as it helps, although Jury is out for next couple of weeks on the IBS symptoms and it will take a fair bit longer to tell if there is any weight loss, I would imagine, best wishes xx

      Sorry, your message confuses me, no I meant I liked the tangy taste of the "apple cider vinegar with mother" - all one product had with a little honey.
