Dear James: Try a safer method, just use only baking soda and see how this works. Only 1/4 teaspoon once a day only mixed in some water. Apple cider vinegar can be problematic if the body does not have sufficient bicarbonates in the system. There are many causes of acid reflux, the other is the yet unidentified bacteria, such as helicobacter pylori that may also have caused the condition. Of course, this pathogen has weakness for fulvic acid, which can also be safely used for the child too. Of course, you need a product that is clearly labels or mentions fulvic acid.
