I tried taking two tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach and immediately threw up. After that, I realized my stomach just cannot handle the high acidity, so I stopped completely.
Of course it can, it is highly acidic! Drinking it undiluted is a terrible idea and will ruin your stomach lining. Always dilute one teaspoon in a full glass of water, or just don't drink it at all.
Vomiting after taking apple cider vinegar could indicate gastroparesis or an ulcer. It is very important to get a checkup with a gastroenterologist if you experience persistent nausea or vomiting after consuming it.
I started taking ACV to help with my blood pressure and weight, but it gave me severe acidity and nausea. I had to consult my doctor, who told me to stick to my prescribed BP meds and a low-salt diet instead of these remedies.
With thyroid issues, our digestion is already sluggish. When I tried ACV, it triggered terrible nausea and vomiting. Please get your thyroid levels checked regularly and consult your doctor before trying such acidic supplements.
I am so sorry you had to deal with vomiting. Yes, apple cider vinegar is extremely strong and can upset sensitive stomachs. Please rest and drink some plain water to feel better.
Yes, the strong acid in ACV can irritate your stomach lining, especially if you are vegetarian and eat a lot of naturally alkaline foods. If you must take it, always have it after meals and never on an empty stomach.
ACV can delay stomach emptying, which is particularly risky if you are managing diabetes as it can cause vomiting and affect your insulin timing. Please discuss this with your diabetologist before taking it.
Oh, many people in our community have complained about vomiting after ACV! If it doesn't suit your system, please stop taking it. Your body knows best, so don't force it just because it is a trend.
Research shows that the acetic acid in ACV can cause delayed gastric emptying. My doctor noted that this delay often leads to feelings of nausea and actual vomiting in people with sensitive digestive tracts. Dilution is absolutely essential.
I panicked so much when I threw up after drinking ACV, thinking I had food poisoning! But my doctor reassured me that the strong taste and high acidity often trigger a gag reflex or nausea. It is totally normal if you aren't used to it.
Many of us with PCOS try ACV for insulin resistance, but it can really mess up your stomach and cause vomiting. I suggest speaking to your doctor about safer, gentler ways to manage insulin rather than forcing yourself to drink vinegar.
