I have low stomach acid and I have been taking 2 capsules Betaine HCL & Pepsin with every meal as well as supping lemon water all day, but my supplements are getting really expensive and I would like to change over to Apple Cider Vinegar with 'mother' - I have got Aspall's Organic unfiltered at the moment
Please can anyone advise me as to when it is best to take, what dilution and anything I need to add to it?
Thank you

Hi, I also have low acid problem and have been taking Bragg's ACV plus digestive bitters 3 times a day before meals and it works very well. I also take bovine geletine every morning as this is supposed to help heal the gut.
Some people rate Urban Moonshine as a good one, but its super expensive. Planetary herbals is another...
I use the Nature Works Swedish Digestive Bitters 500ml (38% alcohol) bottles from luckyvitamin.com/p-31983-na... ...be careful because you will have to pay an import duty £8 and 20% VAT, if the good's value is over £18 inc P&P - I did a bulk purchase with some quality oregano oil etc. and after crunching the numbers it was a little cheaper for me.
Thank you stig5882 this is really useful. I do take 2 x tps Swedish Digestive Bitters, but only once per day...so it will be good to incorporate it with an ACV dilution into a "pre-meal swig"
For my leaky gut I have been taking L-Glutamine, Zinc and Liquorice...I have not heard of Bovine Geletine, I try to stay away from the bovine food chain as much as possible due to the potential toxicity, as I know I have methylation problems! I am struggling to detox
Can you buy empty aromatherapy bottles with droppers? I have a variety of sizes as I mix my own and find the droppers really useful. I use Baldwins for these sort of supplies.
I found one teaspoon with a whole glass of water before every meal helpful until it settled down then I just took one teaspoon with a whole glass of water before main meal. Now I just take a teaspoon when I need to. I am not gluten free but I cut down on gluten and found it helped to minimise it.
