I have used Cider Vinegar now for over 8 years for helping with heartburn and in particular cystitis, I haven't had that now for over 6 years after suffering with it so regularly for over 15years. It helps me, this is just my opinion.
You will have acetic acid in your stomach if you drink vinegar. If you dont, then you wont have. The acid in your stomach is hydrochloric acid.
Technically, vinegar can be used as a stimulated stomach acid, but some may think different.
Vinegar is mainly acetic acid. It is not hydrochloric acid.
Well actually they reduce stomach acid and it raises the pH to reduce the acidity in the stomach. It also relieves heartburn.
No. Vinegar contains acetic acid, a weak organic acid. The gastric juices in you stomach contain hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid.
No.

Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid. Citric acid in lemon juice and acetic acid in vinegar alone or in combination are not nearly as strong as hydrochloric acid.
No the hydrochloric acid in your stomach is far more acidic than vinegar. The stomach has a lining which is resistant to acid for this very reason.
If you drink to much vinegar. you may experience slight nausea. The acid in vinegar is milder than your stomach acid, so it will not be likely to have any harmful effects.
An analogy for the way antacids neutralize acids is like adding baking soda to vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. In this reaction, the base (baking soda) reacts with the acid (vinegar) to form a neutral product (carbon dioxide). Similarly, antacids neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form neutral compounds and reduce acidity in the stomach.
To reduce stomach acid: -Drink plenty of milk, -Avoid foodds like pickles, vinegar, spicy foods, -Suck a piece of clove as this helps slowly relieve symptoms, -Vanilla ice cream helps cool down the stomach, -Almonds and lemons can help with heartburn symptoms, -Boiling chopped mint leaves (a cup after each meal), -Bananas help prevent acid build up (this is highly recommended), Hope I helped!
