IBS and Acid Reflux is keeping me awake

by Norma
(Florida, USA)

Here I am sat up in bed at 4 in the morning with both IBS symptoms and acid reflux.
I've got a busy day ahead and once again IBS is playing it's part in spoiling things for me as it has done for many years. I know by this afternoon I will be tired and irritable, not really the best position to be in as a Grandma looking after her grandkids.

I've taken some apple cider vinegar for the acid reflux, a handy little discovery I made a while back thanks to the Internet. I know many will scoff at the idea of drinking what is essentially acid to cure an acid-based issue, I know I was reluctant to try at first, but with so many people reporting that it worked, I gave it a try and to my surprise the acid reflux disapeared.

I can feel it working now and the reflux is subsiding. Now all I need is for my stomach to settle down and perhaps I can try to get some more sleep before morning.

Note to self; stop storing the laptop next to the bed!
