Hubby Won't Touch Apple Cider Vinegar, Says It Makes Him Gag

On the ACV- my grandmother used to take it daily, back in the 70's, in a small glass of hot water, mixed with a Tb of molasses. I finally tried that concoction back in 2014. I had a horrible reaction to the ACV with the mother. After 1 week, I started getting severe skin rashes. Groin, under breast, armpits, yeast infection. Nothing helped them. Then I made the connection that it might just be the ACV. I stopped taking it, and treated the rashes with rinses of thyme and rosemary. It still took 3 months to clear them all up.

Fast forward-2017- diabetes 2 Dx. In my researching for what supplements help for glucose, one came up as ACV. Well, no way was I going to go down that road again. So I kept reading. There is now such a thing as ACV capsules. I take them with no reaction. When I do take them, say after a bigger meal..they seem to really help towards lowering the glucose. And no weird taste like the liquid version.

Turmeric on the other hand....I am still working on that one.

We get turmeric tablets.

I have some capsules too...but haven't found out the right amount that helps with glucose. I also bought the powder. About a lb worth. THAT....I will need to cook up into something. I am thinking Jamaican Beef Patties

there are capsule fillers out there so you can make your own using bulk herbs, etc. I found several on Amazon in different price ranges

I have to admit that I cannot drink ACV. No way, no how. I cook with it all the time, but to add it to water, take a shot or anything else is a no-go. If I do get it down, it comes right back up.
I take a swig of pickle juice every morning instead. I figure at least I am getting something fermented, with a lot of micro and macro nutrients. I don't use much salt when I cook, so the high salt content shouldn't be too bad for me. I used to get really bad cravings for French fries - I realized that it was just a craving for salt since I don't use much salt at all. Since I started with the pickle juice, no more French fry cravings, lol!

I'm not wild about ACV either… I bought a bottle weeks ago and it's sitting in the cupboard, unopened. I take spirulina in the mornings, when I remember to, for a shot of nutrients. Good stuff and in pill form, I can live with the odd taste.
