Ingesting more acid for heartburn is usually not a good idea. I've been told (and found for myself) that the best food to use for acid reflux is milk, 2% or higher. It has to be at least 2% because anything lighter than that has had all the milk fat removed, which is what sooths the acid reflux. Before modern medicine, the only know EFFECTIVE treatment for heartburn was something called the Sippy Diet, which basically had you eating a non acidic diet, and drinking small amounts of milk or cream every hour or so. I'm on meds for my AR and find that if I have heartburn between dosages, the best way to sooth it is by drinking a large glass of 2% milk.

No, it won't help. Try one of the following supplements1.Calcium carbonate, a well-established short-term remedy for heartburn, is the main ingredient in several popular antacids.2.Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is a highly regarded herb used as a demulcent (an agent that soothes and coats mucous membranes) and has been shown to be as effective as the drug cimetidine (Tagamet) in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease.3.Aloe vera juice can provide quick, soothing relief by reducing acid output and soothing and coating the mucous membranes.4.If you're troubled by frequent indigestion or if food feels "heavy" on your stomach, consider taking some digestive enzymes with each meal. Double the recommended dose if you've eaten an especially large meal.5.A pleasant alternative to coffee after a meal is a cup of warm herbal tea--chamomile, ginger, peppermint, marshmallow, meadowsweet or slippery elm--which has the added benefit of relieving heartburn discomfort. 6.Stay up at least three hours after eating your last meal or large snack before going to bed. 7.Raising the head of your bed several inches will put gravity to use in preventing reflux during the night. 8.Chewing gum can provide short-term heartburn relief by stimulating the production of saliva, which dilutes and flushes out stomach acid. Drinking a glass of lukewarm water after a meal may produce a similar effect.

no! you are not digesting your food.you need digestive enzymes.

If you have GERD, it won't help. The acid in the vinegar will make your GERD act up. The honey should not hurt it in that dosage, though. See your doctor or an herbalist, please, so many serious conditions have this as a precursor.
