|
|
Hi Shelley,
Just a bit of background: I eat homemade sauerkraut and raw kefir everyday. I am going to be doing liver flush #5 in about a week and just started taking raw ACV last night. I took 1 tsp in water at the beginning of dinner. I woke up with abdominal cramps and gas.....the same kind I get from eating green apples. I also started breaking out a bit more today. I am continuing with the ACV, 1 tsp twice a day.
Could the cramping and acne be due to the ACV? It is hard for me to know for sure about the acne since I did just start a new face cleanser.
Thank you!
Shawna |

| Interesting. Usually I'd say that's microbes shifting, but you already are exposed to a lot of fermented foods. ACV is basically concentrated apples, so it oculd be that you are sensitive to pectin much the same way some people are sensitive to gluten. |

| The best way to figure out if a new food is aggrevating symptoms is to cut it out and reintroduce it later. If you get a cessation followed by a repeat you have found your culprit. |
