So has anyone tried this post op?

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 ...

I'm 6mths out.

Should be no problem for you, then. Try it and report back.

Are you talking about drinking it or cooking with it?

Does there make a difference?

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...

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

Iall u need is a small teasponn in a full 8 oz glass of water to control the sugar absorption in food its quite bitter though. .. I nvr tried it pre-op but I dnt care much at all for the after tang in my throat but it helps lose wieght and good for pcos due to the insulin resistance

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.

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.

Where did u get those capsukes at? Were they prescribed?

Drinking it straight is one of the oldest weight loss methods in the books. I also use it in cabbage salads and dressings, too.

I use it to make BBQ sauce

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!!!
