Hi everyone
I have gotten some systemic improvement by using raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar before every meal. I just pour a tablespoon or so into a glass with some water and drink it. I have tried this before but never with raw, unfiltered ACV. I did not have the same positive response then that I am having now, so the brand and type seems to matter. I also am having a better response with apple cider vinegar than I did with HCL pills, fwiw.
I have sibo, and I believe that the fact that I have bacteria in the small intestine (where there should be no bacteria at all) points to the fact that I probably have low stomach acid. I am trying to go this route instead of probiotics (although I am still taking some).
