REFLUX GOURMET Mint Chocolate Rescue – Alginate Complex – Digestive Support Formula, Made with Natural Ingredients – 8 Fl. Oz

I’ve had acid reflux for years and recently it had gotten worse. My gastro guy suggested I take 2 doses of the acid reflux stuff that works for me. I’m one of those people that need to use Prevacid (Lansoprazole) versus the others to get relief. At one point I had burn spots the length of my esophagus that was causing chest pains, so it was bad. I got the burn spots under control, but despite taking 2 pills every day of Lansoprazole, I still felt pretty rocky in the AM. Initially I just took 2 in the AM and then switched to 1 in the AM, 1 in the PM, but still there was that irritation in the AM. Still I was on a high dose. A former colleague of mine when we had a Christmas get together passed on information for this reflux gourmet stuff. Honestly I was skeptical at first. However you hear horror stories about long term uses of meds like lansoprazole and I was at a high dose for several years. This stuff looked a whole lot safer, if it worked. Well it worked. From the first day to the tenth. I take a teaspoon of this at bedtime and I wake up, irritation free. While I still take 1 lansoprazole in the AM, I plan to discontinue that as well. Not sure if I will need a teaspoon of this to take its place or not, as my biggest issue is at night. No hard ship, though, it is tasty. Cost wise the lansoprazole was $13 for 42 pills. For me that was $0.62/day, if I take 2 pills/day This tube has 47 servings at $28. So that would be $0.59/day if I take it once/day. So it is also at a better cost, without the side effects.

Having reflux for decades and refusing to accept the risk and side effect of PPI's, and trying a very expensive failed surgery to correct, I depend on as-needed and Safe supplement products that tamp down stomach acid and protect the esophagus by putting a 'float' over the stomach contents. I've successfully used different ones, usually chewable tablets and some for many years, but all are somewhat gritty and chalky, so recently coming across Reflux Gourmet which is a paste in a tube and in different flavors, I decided to try it out. Hands-down this product has turned out to be the best-tasting, totally working, easy to use product in this category I've ever tried. A non-gritty, great flavored smooth paste that one eats off a teaspoon, or what I do, squeeze into mouth (not in polite company ;-) and it just works.. And to top it off after a couple months while trying it out it I had an issue with the dispensing tube it's supplied in, and customer support was so pleasant and helpful in resolving it to (more than) my satisfaction.. A Great Product from a Great Company, -what more could one want!

I've been using this product for almost 2 years now and have been able to get off of oral GERD medication! Just an amazing product and tastes better than other brands.

I like this product, and I think it helped a little bit. I took it only at night before I went to bed. I had the chocolate mint version, and it tasted pretty good. However, the cost of it was not worth my continued use. I didn’t get that much benefit out of it to justify the cost.

Suggested by ENT after surgery on throat to ease acid indigestion. Absolutely works and I am grateful.
