Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

Since my MS is absolutely torturing me I have been googling every and any possible remedy for some relief (I have gotten none - all day, 24/7 MS!)

A few times it came up to drink 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey in cold water before bed -- sounds like it would make me yack but I'm up for trying anything -- did anyone else try this? Did it help?

Thanks!

That sounds really gross.

I heard that combination for acid reflux (heartburn) treatment... but not MS.

I just altered my eating schedule. I'd eat tiny meals (bit of bread w hummus, cup of milk, few carrots, ect) all day long & skip big meals. That worked well for me. I'd get MS starting at about 1-2 PM, worst at night. Totally went away with the small meals all the time.

I agree - it does sound gross. But eating - even small meals - is not giving me any relief

I know what you mean! I have a sour stomach all day long! Its like nothing can get rid of it! I just posted about crystal light because I heard some people said lemonade helped them! If you find something that helps let me know!! and i'll do the same. Unfortunately eating a little bit all day hasent helped me either

My friend told me about the cider vinegar thing, but it sounded too vile to try.

apple cider vinegar is very potent. be careful please

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

I had HORRENDOUS morning sickness from weeks 6 to 19. I tried everything- ginger ale, saltines, small meals every hour, crystallized ginger, sea bands, etc.

The only thing that ended up helping me was to take 1/2 a Unisom tablet (doxylamine) and 50 mg of B6 before bedtime . I was hesitant at first to take any medication but there were days i was throwing up so bad that I was dizzy and lightheaded on the subway and I could barely eat.

My doctor told me its completely safe, and I even read about it in Fit Pregnancy recently. Here's a Babycenter article with more info.

HTH! It didn't take away all my symptoms but made it bearable to eat in the mornings/lunchtime.

Smelling apple cider vinegar would make me throw up right now and I don't have MS!

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

I've heard the apple cider vinegar thing too....haven't tried it but my sono tech swears it works for her

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

I thought you could not have honey during pregnancy.....

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

You can have honey, babies can't. The mothers intestines can handle it & spores cannot be passed to baby (if your honey even has any). I have honey regularly.

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

my OB said absolutely no honey for me while pregnant and no honey for the baby till he's at least one.. be careful!

peanut butter on crackers helped a little for me sometimes. the dr said its the combo of the protein and carbs. i used to have 4 right before bed and 2 first thing in the morning. then anytime i felt nauseous i'd hit up the pb jar. peppermints also helped when the PB wasnt accessible.
also i used to keep a box honey cherrios in my car so in case i'd start to feel woozy i'd have something to munch on.

feel better!!!!!!

Re: Apple cider vinegar + honey for MS?

I was desperate like you at the beginning and tried the apple cider vinegar, DON'T DO IT!!! It made me feel even worse for hours and hours, and I couldn't get the nasty taste out of my mouth. I'm usually pretty good with handling stuff like that and most things don't effect me but it was terrible. It's VERY strong!!!!
