2. Apple Cider Vinegar
ACV is nature’s miracle cure for a wide variety of ailments – and it helps to soothe symptoms of pain, nausea, and cramping associated with gastroenteritis as well. Apple cider vinegar is a potent anti-bacterial and anti-microbial liquid that gets its health benefits from the beneficial bacteria found in the unfiltered version of the vinegar.
Also known as “the mother,” the bacteria in ACV is far different from the type that’s causing your stomach issues right now. Mix two tablespoons of ACV into a glass of water to cut the sharp taste, then drink it down. The ACV starts working right away, and you should experience some relief from cramps, pain, and bloating within 20-minutes of drinking the beverage.
Make sure that you choose the unfiltered version of ACV. The filtering process removes all of the beneficial bacteria, rendering the ACV no more useful than regular spirit vinegar. Always check the label for details before you make your purchase.
