Apple Cider

[Lucylooloo]

Just wondering if taking apple cider tables could/would, interfere with my medication ? Some one said to me due to been on high tec medication (Actemra) that I would have to check it out? Has anyone taken this with medication for GCA🤔🤔. 🙏 thanks

I use cider vinegar for my salads every day - though to be fair I'm not on Actemra! However - if you take cider vinegar as being a foodstuff then this

rxwiki.com/tocilizumab

says there are no known food interactions with tocilizumab/Actemra

Why do you want to take them? I'm really not sure my cider vinegar has helped any thing

[Lucylooloo in reply to PMRpro]

They say Apple cider is great for everything ? So I taught that it may help my immune system in general. And also weight lost ?

You can always hope!

Hi

I am not on actemra but I do use apple cider vinegar. I find it helps a lot with the awful hunger that comes with the prednisone. Just make sure you drink enough water with it. My friend drank way to much without enough water and developed a stomach ulcer.

I think it does a lot of good things for the system, just be careful with it.

Thanks very much, I got capsules a while ago and was nervous to start taking them. I started them today it says take two , but I only took one and I’ll see how they go. Thanks again 😇

I do the same thing with new supplements, I only take a small amount and see how it goes. Most benefits take awhile and some benefits you may not even be able to notice. However, cutting the appetite takes place almost immediately. Now, I use the liquid and you must have apple cider' with the mother' for it to work. I am not familiar with the capsules.

Yes I have the mother apple cider but personally I just could not take it 😖I found New apple cider high strength (729mg) tablets it break down fats with globe artichoke, and dandelion. So I decided to gives these a go. Would not mind but every time I seem to be getting somewhere, something happens 😢😢fell down last three steps of stairs and twisted my ankle 😢so no walking for a few days ...

Ouch! sorry to hear that. Yep one step forward one step back. Seems like that is the story that is being written right now.

Good Luck
