Does malic acid have to be taken on an empty stomach to be effective? My father gets strong heartburn when he takes the 3 caps of 800 mg malic acid on an empy stomach, but he says it's ok with food. Should he reduce the dose on an empty stomach, or take the higher dose with food? Which would allow the malic acid to still be effective? i know it can take a long time for stone dissolvers such as malic acid to be effective, so trying to find a way to keep the effectiveness without the heartburn. This only happens to him, the rest of us take the same dose on an empty stomach no problems.

Definitely take it with food and plenty of fluids.
Understand eating apples when Liver Flushing is designed to soften and flush gall stones through the natural pectin in the apple, breaking free most of the old bile and debris. The stagnant bile becomes dissolved by the malic acid of the apple juice, and the oil drink helps move it out. If you are taking malic acid capsules (L-form I hope rather than the synthetic) try and take them with a diet rich in pectin which includes the following:
Apples (Jonagold is high in pectin or cooked Bramleys)
Blackberries, sour
Crabapples jelly
Cranberries
Currants
Gooseberries
Grapes (Eastern Concord)
Lemons
Loganberries
Plums (not Italian)
Quinces
