Hello everyone

Hi I hope I can help some of you , many years ago I also suffered with acid reflux untill I hade surgery to help now I only get silent reflux, I used to find drinking milk would help also black liquorice I know this isn't every cup of tea but I help me , if your reflux is bad or getting worse ask your consultant to do a reflux test you use a machine at home for 24 hours and it records how much reflux you are having, then your consultant can decide what's the best action to take to help you , hope this as been helpful.

This might help someone to know what I did about mine. I may be speaking too soon but it has been weeks now with no sign of acid reflux recurring.

Mine had been getting worse but I didn’t want to rely on the PPI’s I had been prescribed so remembering back to a few years ago when Mastic Gum had helped with some stomach pain, I started taking 2 capsules a day for a few weeks. I only stopped taking them when I noticed that I could eat a meal without feeling bad as it tried to digest.

The only thing that I can put it down to is the Mastic Gum I had been taking because I hadn’t bothered taking my Omeprazole at all.

Do some research, you will see how miraculous this natural product is for a range of stomach issues. I’m never without a bottle in the medicine cabinet.

Thank you. What is mastic gum? Can it be used when on a high dose of omepazole and gaviscon?

There is a lot of information on the internet such as this one for eg. greekgum.co.uk/blogs/articl...

You can buy the tears and chew them, or buy it in capsule form as I did.

PS: There is a large range on Amazon.
