Someone mentioned it a while back, and I did again this spring when I was talking about acid reflux. I agree, it really does work. A spoonful in a cup of water is the way I took it.

Funny you mention ice cream. I have narrowed down the causes of my acid reflux and ice cream is right at the very top. I got to wondering why, at 42 years old and never having such trouble before I should start suddenly to get this trouble. I worked back to when it first started, the first few signals, and what had changed about that time. Two things, I started using lots of crushed ice in my drinks, and I started eating LOTS of frozen berries with cream on top, a kind of instant ice cream. I believe I literally gave my esophagus frostbite by eating too much frozen foods. I cut out all frozen foods, and too hot foods and drinks too just in case that was bad too. In a few days I started feeling a little better, and I have gradually returned almost to normal. Now I don't have any acid reflux symptoms unless I really go overboard with the 'bad' foods, like drinking lots and lots of coffee or tea, or eating ice cream. A few bites of ice cream is enough to give me belly pains, so I almost never have any. If you have acid reflux try giving up frozen and very hot foods for a while. It sure seems to be helping me. > > The Apple Cider Vinegar really worked...no bull. Yep.
