Apple Cider Vinegar 30 Day Challenge – Day 11: Gastric Ulcers
Apple Cider Vinegar for Gastritis
Apple cider vinegar is a traditional folk remedy for many conditions. It functions as an anti-fungal agent and when diluted with water, increases hydrochloric acid production in the stomach.
An apple cider vinegar gastritis regimen improves digestion by helping the stomach break down food and prevents inflammation of the stomach lining. Gastritis is sometimes caused by reduced hydrochloric acid, so taking apple cider vinegar may be effective for people suffering from unbalanced acid in the stomach.
Apple cider vinegar contains malic acid, which acts as a buffer in the stomach and allows the pH to stabilize, allowing healthy bacteria essential for everyday digestive functioning to flourish.
Apple cider vinegar also increases absorption of calcium and other nutrients that improve healing and help soothe stomach irritations. Apple cider vinegar contains antimicrobial properties that prevent other fungi-based infections from taking hold in the stomach.
Diluting the apple cider vinegar is essential when trying out this gastritis cure. Mixing one tablespoon of raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar into one glass of water is a common home remedy for gastritis, and can be taken daily. Another method is drinking diluted apple cider vinegar before or after meals to maximize digestive properties.
Apple cider vinegar can negatively impact gastritis if combined with other acidic liquids, like cranberry juice. If apple cider vinegar makes your stomach upset, discontinue use. Some people find that apple cider vinegar actually makes gastritis worse so caution and moderation are key and adjust your dosage as needed.
