I'm trying there because I'm having negative side-effects from PPI's. I know thousands of people take them, with no issues, but I'm unfortunately am not one of them. I like the taste too, and take them before my meal. I know it says to take (3) after food, but before food is working for me

Works well. This is my 2nd bottle

It does work when I get acid reflux but only temporarily. Its not a permanent fix. I guess its healthier then PPi's or acid blockers. The ppi's last 24 hours,these last maybe a few hours. Its easier to take something once every day rather then many times a day like this dgl. Almonds work just as good or almond milk. Ginger candy works too but tastes nasty. I think the best solution is to sleep with your bed elevated,not eat 3 hours before sleeping,eat healthier,work out 3-4 times a week and take ppi's every other day or so. The too much stomach acid along with the too little acid thing seems off to me. I think there is normal acid in most of us suffering from gerd but our esophageal sphincter does not close up tight enough for what ever reason. Maybe something is in the food we eat or water we drink to paralyze it? I tried eating healthier and it helps but does not cure it. It seems the combo of things as i said above is the best way to go about it.

I will just repost my comments to another reviewer here so you can see what went on with me. My doctor had me taking big doses of Omeprazole and Famotidine to address the GERD that I developed at age 57. I subsequently learned that these drugs are counterproductive and I determined to quit them after reading Dr Rogers book 'No More Heartburn':http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1575665107/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Feb 6, 2014I have recently done some research on omeprazole and have found that there is a documented acid rebound effect after you quit taking it. That seems to be going on with me right now. After taking 40mg per day for 18 months I went to 20 mg per day for a few weeks, then every other day for another week. I was fine at that point but now after a week without taking any I have been getting a lot of acid. I am going to try this DGL, if that does not work I will need to go back to 20mg every other or every day again. My throat is burning much worse than it ever did before I started taking omeprazole. But from what I read you do need to give it weeks to get past the rebound effect. Good luck.Mar 16, 2014 I'm glad you saw my message, you are exactly on track with that plan. I probably stopped the omeprazole a little too quickly, I should have gone to every 3rd day as you say. When you suppress the acid production with omeprazole your stomach generates a greater number of cells to counteract that, then when the drug is withdrawn they all go to town!Within days of writing that I successfully stopped the omeprazole. As I said the rebound was really bad for several days, really scary burning in my throat, I took a lot of tums for several days, then I took just one more omeprazole as I started the DGL, 2 prior to every meal and before bed. Then the acid was completely gone within 2-3 days! Pretty amazing, I was pleasantly surprised. Chew it up slowly, it needs the saliva to digest properly. After the acid went away I just took it whenever I felt a little acid (infrequently) and before bedtime. I still have some of the first bottle. I ordered two more, this stuff is great. I rarely get any acid except sometimes in late morning I tend to slide down off the wedge I sleep on and I may have a little in throat during the last hour or two of sleep. When that happens I chew 2 of these and it does a good job of relief. But generally I don't seem to really need it at this point. Supposedly it promotes healing the stomach and esophagus lining so I will continue to take some minimal amount but usually I forget to now since I typically feel fine.A 7" foam wedge to sleep on is the most effective way to address the GERD, it's clear to me that my esophagus doesn't seal as well as it used to but omeprazole is a ridiculous overkill as far as treatment. The doctor should have suggested trying the wedge first and should have known about DGL, I'm quitting that Doctor!

Good stuff
