PdxMan 4,292 Posted March 20, 2013 I haven't, (at least not straight) but you are talking about something pretty sweet (sugary) and apples are pretty fiberous. May be difficult for the immediate post-op patient. There is a reason they suggest *clear* liquids. The stomach is the mechanical part of digestion, so ...

vogue 310 Posted March 20, 2013 my tummy couldnt handle it pre-op... so I wouldnt think of it now.. but it definitely has a great rep... let us know how it goes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnlatte 1,232 Posted March 20, 2013 Does there make a difference? Well yeah, drinking it would seem a bit strange (vinegar?), cooking with it would make more sense. But on this board we seem to have to get clarification for a lot things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COnative 192 Posted March 20, 2013 So has anyone tried this post op? I am actually taking something stronger but along the same lines of apple cider vinegar because all my blood tests came back that I am not absorbing the Protein I eat. So I am on an herbal hydrochloric acid which helps my body break down the protein better for absorption. It has made all the difference!!! But I did start with apple cider vinegar- took a tablespoon with each meal. Now I take a capsule with each meal. I am 7 months out and started this routine at 6 months without any trouble.

New1 201 Posted March 20, 2013 I periodically use it. I usually put 1-2 table spoons in some warm Water with a little bit of honey, sort of like a tea. It helps with indigestion, acid reflux, and curbs my appetite. I'm a fan! Hate the smell though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COnative 192 Posted March 20, 2013 Where did u get those capsukes at? Were they prescribed? So I have tried two different capsules. You can get them I think online, I bought mine through my acupuncturist. Xymogen is the brand and it's called GastrAcid. And another good one is by Standard Process called Zypan. But I would definitely get professional advice before taking on your own. Good Luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
