Apple Cider Vinegar Issues.
I decided to try acv to my diet after reading good things about it. Since I Hate the taste I didn't want to prolong it so went for a straight Tb followed but a large glass of water. Immediately got the sweats and dizzy and sick to my stomach. Ok, not one to take no for an answer the next day I put a tsp in 20 oz of water...no effect but still couldn't tolerate the taste so today I put 1 Tb in about 4 oz of water and gulped followed by some herbal tea. Took a few minutes but still got that sick feeling and shaky. Had to lay down for about an hour. Anyone else have trouble tolerating it? How do you take it?

Ok, so it's not a food intolerance, that's good--you reaction description made me wonder.
Have you tried it in foods instead of just in water? I chop up 2 tomato slices, 2 cuke slices and 1/4 avocado and shake them together with apple cider vinegar and olive oil and use it as salad dressing.
I barely notice it as an outstanding flavor--but I know that can be different when you truly dislike a flavor.

linrenep I googled your reaction. You mentioned your on a few different meds, I found this. I have a feeling this applies to your reaction and probably should avoid it or in super diluted doses or possibly not take it at all.

As with any new supplement you start taking, you’ll want to check with your physician beforehand. Apple cider vinegar could potentially interact with other supplements or even your prescription medications. Holistic remedies, including apple cider vinegar, can minimize how efficiently certain drugs work or raise concentrations of some drugs in your blood to dangerous levels. Diuretics, diabetes medications, heart pills and laxatives are some of the medications that may interact poorly with apple cider vinegar. Let your doctor know about all types of supplements, over-the-counter pills and prescriptions you frequently take.”

goplay sorry that was a typo. It was supposed to be 2 grams not teaspoons. I use raw organic honey by Lotus and 2 grams is just 2 carbs. With the meds I take I can not use artificial sweeteners of any kind so this was the recommendation by my Dr. It does not sweeten the taste it just provides a measure of coating to the stomach lining so the overkill of acid mixing with the vinegar doesn’t cause a bleeding issue over time.

fastblnd8228 understood. But honey also is known to spike insulin and thus hunger more than other sweeteners and is usually not recommended on keto. If its working for you I say go for it. That's something I hope more people ( not you, talking to the masses here) need to understand about keto. Its not a fad diet, not lose quick then get off. Its a total change in how your body metabolized food. No two people are alike so there is no hard and fast rules apply. Listen to your body. Eat what is right for you. All this other stuff is guidelines, not hard fast rules.
