Is Apple Cider Vinegar Intake Safe When Suffering From Asthma?
Want to take the bs and apple cider vinegar for my digestion but read on the site some place that someone posted, that you could also take the combination for asthma which I have. She posted she had tried it for asthma and it got worse due to the sulfur content in the vinegar. If you are sulfur sensitive could this ( which I am) help or hurt your asthma? I started yesterday to take it for my digestion and so far don't think it has effected my asthma.

Hi,
The sulfur content of vinegar can aggravate the symptoms of whom is allergic to the sulfur.
If you are not allergic to sulfur, and so far, nothing worrisome or no effect on asthma is seen; then, should not be worried about.
Please bare in mind that if youn start noticing any symptom of allergic reaction, stop using it immediately and ask for medical help. Can take extra dose of your medication of asthma in this case.
Hope it was of help!
