I use a tbs before meals for GERD and it works.  

I wish I could tolerate it. The smell makes my stomach sour. Keep us posted on how it’s working out! 

Do you mix it in water? I might add it to my routine. I have read good things about ACV, and this is the first I've read it helps regularity.  

LadyinDenim- yes I take 15ml (a lil under 1oz) and add water, to the bottom of a small whiskey glass! Then, drink water after to rinse mouth. Do not brush teeth after ACV!! It will be too rough on enamel. wait half hour or longer then brush teeth. There's quite a few reasons I prefer at night to take ACV. One reason, is my AM meds- can't take vitamin c with it, and ACV does have citric acid. Secondly, night is calmer; I have a lot to do in AM with the boys and school. Thirdly, it can work it's magic throughout the night; helping gut process food, there's nothing else being eaten so it's similar to brushing teeth after eating..... except ACV and my intestines. As a avid lover of coffee, which is acidic too, i would be overloading on acid taking ACV first thing in AM. I'm not as hungry in the AM for breakfast, so I have something smaller now. The reason for lower appetite is because ACV helps delay stomach emptying, keeping stomach distended. This helps trigger the satiety hormone more effectively. The past 2 weeks, I was constantly ravenous... ACV helps with balancing gut hormones, hence the regularity, similar effect that probiotics do, which I take my probiotics at night for same reason as ACV. They are more effective, even together s. I take probiotics first, then ACV right before bed, an hour or 2 later.. Another similar reason it helps with regularity is that ACV helps with the intestines absorbing nutrition from food.
