I once found a remedy online for indigestion that suggested using a shot of Vinegar. My roommate tried it for his heartburn with success. And, when I delightfully rushed a shot down my throat, I was met with excruciating stomach pain and even more burn.
Confusing. I now have been told to stay away from fermented foods including alcohol (easy in this case), tomatoes, sauerkraut, cheese, and all vinger-related products -- a mold allergy to all of these.
So, what gives? I sense that Grapefruit Seed Extract is going to be tough to deal with. I felt a slight indigestion of the 1 drop in water I had earlier, and I'm nervous.
Why would vinegar be a great solution for one person and not another? Is their a polarity of environments that causes different solutions -- say acidic-indigestion vs. alkaline-indigestion?

The way my LLMD explained it to me is that if you have no stomach acid vinegar can help this by adding natural acid... if you have too much acid... add vinegar and you will have worse problems.
Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began. Posts: 2007 | From NY/VT Border | Registered: Aug 2010

I performed the baking soda test, and had early and repeated belching (indicating an excessive stomach acid issue)
One of my biggest problems for a long while was a feeling like I had trapped air in my chest. Especially worse when laying down. Then if I leaned forward, I could let it out a little belch which would provide very minor relief. No doctor gave me help with this, and it's still an issue.
I think it's related. But, I definitely think I have excessive stomach acid issues. I just don't have heartburn because I stay away from all irritating foods.
Albeit, I was a chronic drinker before all this started.
