Taking Apple Cider Vinegar For Weight Loss. Nausea, Stomach Cramps. Side Effects?

I recently started taking apple cider vinegar (liquid a.m. and p.m. and pill at lunch) to assist with weight loss. I have feelings of nausea and severe stomach cramps. I am also having my period so I am not sure if it is a bad cycle, a side effect of the cider vinegar or a combination of the two, since the symptoms did not start until my period did (although I was taking the cider vinegar for a week or two before without incident. Thank you!

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Apple cider vinegar is a fermentation preparation so it may develops some sort of nausea and gastritis ( stomach cramp).
As you mentioned in your query that you were using this preparation two weeks before your period, so nausea may be due to period or due to gastritis.
2nd reason is that period and vinegar both may be responsible for these symptoms.
So stop vinegar just for 4-5 days and when period is over , again you can resume .
Still there, nausea or( and ) stomach pain than , don't use it, otherwise continue.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET.
