Extra Strength Fruit Antacid 60 Tablets

So..... I rarely write reviews of products. But this medicine has been a LIFE CHANGER for me! I don't have the typical "heartburn". However, for years i have nocturnal reflux that comes on instantly. This would happen every time I would have an alcoholic beverage with dinner. I would l wake up suddenly with a choking feeling, as the contents of my stomach would enter my the back of my throat and go down my trachea (windpipe). This would cause a horrible choking/gagging/coughing fit that made me feel as if I was going to die. It would sometimes keep me up for hours in the middle of the night. Went to the gastroenterologist and was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, which was likely contributing to this problem. I did some research and found that Alginic Acid (derived from brown seaweed) may help. This product has just that in it. After one try, I had zero reflux in the night while sleeping. I can even have an IPA with pizza and have no issues. You can't find this product in stores. It's a bit expensive, but it completely worth the cost!!

I did have to get used to the taste at first but soon I started craving these because I knew they were the best thing to help with my acid reflux! I was probably 10% Gaviscon by the end of my pregnancy.

Quick note: there are two types of Gaviscon, the cheaper one that they sell in the US, and this one that I think is imported from Canada. This is the one that works. The US version is essentially Tums. Gaviscon has improved my quality of life, end of story. I've tried all kinds of heartburn medications, but nothing has worked as well as Gaviscon. It is more expensive than other medications like Tums, Pepto Bismol, and many others, but it actually stops heartburn. Now I take it before bed if I'm even a little nervous my GERD will flair up. It doesn't taste the best (or the worst for that matter). It sort of foams in your mouth as you chew it, but that's because it's creating a barrier between your stomach acid and esophagus essentially blocking any acid from even reaching anywhere that will cause issues. If you struggle with GERD, I highly recommend giving this a shot.

It works but the texture is really gross. It also gave me terrible diarrhea after only 1 day of using it. Turns out they use a type magnesium that acts as a laxative :( wish I continue using it but the side effects aren’t worth it for me. Worth a try though if you are suffering from GERD.

Helps with my reflux. I keep it at my bedside at night

This has helped my GERD symptoms, especially in the evening before going to sleep.

Works really well, but the texture and taste are absolutely horrible. There’s no way to change the texture though. What makes it work is what makes it difficult to swallow

I cannot chew an entire one of these at once. It is so foamy, it fills the entire mouth and throat, and it makes me gag. What I can do, is take tiny little bites off of it and I only manage to do about 1/4 to a half of one of these at a time. I was told to take this by my ENT as part of a regimen for two different issues I was having. A very bad sinus/nasal issue that was causing inflammation in my esophagus and exacerbating reflux. Along with other things, I think it does provide help with keeping reflux in check.

Way better than tums. Makes bubbles and coats the throat. Works quickly

Toujours efficace, bon goût.

Very helpful with those days of eating oily foods!!!

I always wake up with a mouth full of acid. I think these have saved my teeth. They foam up and kind of line your mouth with a bit of grease, but they're instant relief for acid reflux and also worked for ulcers. It sounds unpleasant, but the taste is fine, and it does the job well and fast.

This product definitely works and the price was the reason I purchased it.
