Hey Michelle, good list, and good reminder to cross check everything even OTC stuff. However, I think I picked up in another post a couple of days ago that Marcie is looking for something for reflux. I don't know if the vinegar experiment you tried worked as an anti-acid for you, but lemon juice sure did the trick for me! Not only did it boost my sprycel level, as you also found with vinegar, but lemon juice REALLY stopped the stomach acid problem I was having. Now that I am on Tasigna, I still have somewhat of an acid problem but lemon juice, straight from the bottle before or after my meal does the trick....not sure why exactly, you would think that it would make it worse, but there is lots of anecdotal evidence online about this. One word of caution for anyone trying this, if your TKI is working well and you don't need to boost the level of that I would avoid using the lemon juice with your TKI dose, as it can increase side effects if it boosts your absorption.
