LatinLover Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I want to try Apple Cider Vinegar for acid reflux and for general health. If you take ACV on a regular basis, how do you keep it from eating away the enamel on your teeth? I've read brush right away, wait 20-30 minutes before brushing to prevent further damage, etc. It's very confusing and I'd like some advice from the BTDT crowd. Thanks!

kewb Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 My dh uses it for his heartburn. He immediately rinses his mouth with water. To date, no issues with his tooth enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've read that it's actually good for your teeth! So I don't know.... I don't use anything after drinking it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinLover Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I will just see how it goes, I guess. I'm just excited to get started and reap some of the benefits of ACV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyR Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I use it as well. No problems with my teeth either. It does relieve heartburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinLover Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I just have to add don't try to drink it straight. I thought it would be easier to take one tablespoon straight than to have to drink a whole cup of water with it diluted in it. My throat had other ideas. It was scary and I felt like a total idiot afterwards (once I could breathe properly again) :blush: . I did dilute it in 8 oz. of water since I wasn't sure about the taste. I've taken some pretty nasty (natural) things before, so the ACV actually didn't seem that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
