That’s what I took it to mean too. It pleased me as I’ve worked hard to rebuild my microbiome after many years of antibiotics.

Same thing happened to me but I kept on with it (2 Tbls. to a glass of water) consistently and it went away, then I also added fresh raw digestive bitters (ginger & horse radish) with a cheese grader to it!

Oh! the horror stories you will hear when peeps drink too much of it ! Lol

Quotes:

Digestive bitters support digestive function by stimulating bitter receptors on the tongue, stomach, gallbladder and pancreas. Their primary effect is to promote digestive juices such as stomach acid, bile and enzymes to breakdown food and assist in the absorption of nutrients.

The bitter pungency of horseradish can stimulate digestive liver function and provides a powerful stimulus to underactive stomach linings, enzymes, and other mucus-lined organs!

Research has shown that vinegar can mildly lower the growth of gram-negative bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. These bacterial colonies are higher in bacterial endotoxins called lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Higher LPS levels are implicated with a whole slew of inflammatory health problems as well as leaky gut syndrome.

ACV has also been shown to have anti-yeast, anti-fungal, and antiviral benefits which are all helpful at supporting the microbiome and immune balance. Another benefit to ACV is its natural antihistamine effects.

It can help to lower the symptoms of allergies and chronic immune problems such as sneezing and wheezing.

When purchasing ACV I always suggest looking for one with its “mother” included. The “mother” is a colony of beneficial bacteria which is similar to a kombucha’s SCOBY. …More

…Apple cider vinegar can help with a variety of health problems including: diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure and heart health, cancer, weight loss. To better understand these claims, we reached out to Carol Johnston, PhD, RD, Professor and Director of the Nutrition Program at Arizona State University. Dr. Johnston tells us that there is actually a lot of research, as in “researchers around the globe have conducted human trials with similar results,” to support vinegar’s “antiglycemic” effect. The antiglycemic effect refers to foods that are thought to decrease blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels. In these research studies, this effect has been seen in “healthy adults, pre-diabetics, and those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.” Those who have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes need to be cautious when consuming vinegar as it has a history of contributing to hypoglycemic (abnormally low blood glucose level) events in those individuals.
