I just started using raw apple cider vinegar in water with honey, and it gives me heartburn... I don't understand because I thought heartburn is something apple cider vinegar is supposed to actually remedy. It keeps my gallbladder from hurting, so I want to keep taking it. Does anyone know why it would give me heartburn or what I can do?
Minx, thanks for the suggestion but ACV gives me heartburn even without the honey. I normally have no trouble with indigestion except for on rare occasions when I overreat a lot of sugar. And like i said, it is helping with gallbladder pain, so it must be doing something good, once it gets past my stomach..?
Interesting website PT... it mentions ginger as being something else that stimulates digestion, ginger also gives me heartburn. You may be right about having too much acid!

It means you have high stomach acid levels
And minx according to this vinegar will soothe low acid not vise versa

It gives you heartburn because perhaps you are intolerant to an ingredient contained therein thus your heartburn is a result of bad digestion .... nothing is worth bad digestion and the heartburn that ensues .... that just robs you of all your nutrition because anything and everything you ingest on top of the offending ingredient will just sit there and rot.
it could be the honey that's upsetting your digestion .... honey literally burns the skin off my tongue and makes it red raw ...... and that's raw organic honey too ..... if you're using commercial acv and honey try the organic variety .... or vice versa .....if you then get no reaction problem solved.... if you get a worse reaction then that means that you are actually intolerant to either the vinegar or honey (if you react to the organic varieties) or an ingredient used in the processing (if you react to the commercial varieties).... i'd lay odds it's the honey.
heartburn is indicative of LoW stomach acid levels.... something is inhibiting digestion ..... ;0)
yes acv raw organic variety will definitely sooth low acid as it increases the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy thus aiding digestion ...... and is very very good for you... IF you can digest it and are not intolerant to it or an added ingredient that you are ingesting with it..... in that situation digestion is just trashed and the only way to avoid the discomfort is to avoid the offending ingredient....;0)
good luck
peace
