Decided to stop Prilosec after many years using it or similar product. Began using (1) or (2) capfulls of apple cider vinegar in as little water as I could stand three to four times daily, and it is working beautifully. It has been about a week or ten days now, and my stomach is better than it ever was on Prilosec.
When I stopped the Prilosec, my stomach felt inflammed and tender for a few days. I used Alka Seltzer and/or Pepto Bismol as needed. (Actually, I used quite a bit of Pepto those first few days.)
Nothing but the vinegar is necessary, now. I am down to three doses daily with acid indigestion only at night ~ and even that is becoming less noticeable.
Also, am using positive imagery of a healthy stomach.
I am really pleased with these results.
The theory behind it is that the vinegar's acidity signals the stomach to stop producing acid.
Looks like it works, too!
