Apple Cider Vinegar & Stomach Pain
Good evening! I have been having serious issues with digesting almost anything I eat and have tried digestive enzymes and many other things (not just supplements but modifying diet, etc) with not much luck in the past. Recently I drank some diluted ACV after eating and noticed that I didn't have that gross feeling of something undigested sitting in my gut and had the urge to have a BM not long after (which NEVER happens) so I felt ACV was the answer to my prayers.
I admit I went overboard for a week and didn't dilute it enough because I started experiencing sharp pains after drinking it even with a full stomach. Now I try to dilute it so much that I can barely taste it but eventually I still feel something like a full ache.
I would keep using the ACV because it's the only thing that works and makes such a big difference when it comes to my digestion but my stomach is suffering. I thought this means that I have enough stomach acid but then why does ACV work so well? It works better than even bowel cleanses.
Is there an alternative to ACV that will help my digestion as much? I stopped using it but feel so disgusting feeling the undigested food sitting in my gut and I am extremely discouraged. I would be grateful for any assistance. Thank you all.
