Unpleasant Digestive Symptoms
Apple cider vinegar is an acid that may upset a sensitive stomach and when used undiluted on an empty stomach, even in small amounts. Common gastrointestinal side effects can include nausea, vomiting and bloating.
People with specific digestive conditions, such as ulcerative colitis or GERD, should seek medical advice before supplementing their diet with apple cider vinegar. People who regularly experience stomach aches or other digestive issues should speak with their physician, to get the right diagnosis before taking apple cider vinegar or other over-the-counter products on their own.2Lampen, Claire. ‘Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar For Weight Loss Can Have Some Unpleasant Side Effects.’ Women’s Health, www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/g19732667/apple-cider-vinegar-diet-side-effects
