kathyemma Posted November 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have horrible heartburn and gall stones. When I get an attack I drink the nasty apple cider vinegar mixed with apple juice. Can I bring this on board? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of it in capsule form. Off to search google! I HATE the taste of ACV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shava Posted November 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have been taking capsule form for years. I get mine through Swanson Vitamins but I have seen it in drugstores also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted November 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Although I have no experience with bringing ACV on board, how does this differ from people bringing Pepto, water or soda. They are all liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCons Posted November 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Those of us who fly have to worry about getting that bottle of vinegar down, so capsules are awesome! I take a daily tablespoon of ACV with the mother (gotta have the mother) in my water, but just skipped it on my last cruise and brought some Tums & a few omeprazole with me just in case. I'm so used to making good choices with what I eat I knew that I'd be good on the cruise as well. My only concern was that I'd indulge in too many coconut cookies and set my heartburn off. I have a hiatal hernia so heartburn is a daily thing for me. Got much better once my gallbladder was removed. So worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess when I got pregnant!? I too have hiatal hernia and gallstones. I was supposed to have my gallbladder removed Thursday but it got postponed until Dec. My doctor thinks removing my gallbladder won't help my GERD since I have had it so long. I am going to have the stretta procedure done soon. Unfortunately, I don't know what sets off my attacks. I have given up everything and still get them. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have given up everything and still get them. Kathy I've got Barretts from the heartburn, so I get the pleasure of yearly endoscopies. Next one is Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. Yay? I've been able to track my triggers with careful documentation of every bite of food and sip of liquid that goes in my mouth over the years. I've been dealing with it for about 10 years, gallbladder came out three years ago. It's weird how something won't normally bother me, unless I eat it on an empty stomach. I make a point to eat 5 small meals a day so my stomach is never really empty. I can't eat wheat on an empty stomach (like triscuits), but can if it's part of a meal (like a sandwich). It's all about careful tracking for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all liquids. Pepto also available in tablet form. Water available all over the ship. Bringing your own and your own soda technically prohibited but they usually look the other way.

addicted cruiser Posted November 11, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have bought Apple cider vinegar capsules at Walmart in the pharmacy area. Hope you find them so much better than drinking the vinegar.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 11, 2017 All they'd have to do is smell it!!! Folks do bring their own hot sauce, syrup, etc.....shouldn't be an issue with vinegar..although, I bet they have it on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted November 11, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2017 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=apple+cider+vinegar+capsules Thanks M_M. Might have known WallyWorld would carry them.

kearney Posted November 12, 2017 #25 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thanks for this info. I have used protein pump inhibitor like Protonex and Nexium for years. They work BUT recent studies suggest that they could do harm.... so I have switched to Zantac, but that does not work very well. What works best if an adjustable bed. I have learned to sleep at a slight elevation but can't accomplish this with the cruise pillows. I will try the capsules. Had dried ACV and water, but was concerned about damaging my teeth.. this sounds like a good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
