Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My Background: 30 year sufferer of GERD, LPR, IEM and unfortunately know more than most doctors about these clinical conditions. The Product: I have tested Esophageal Guardian for about a week and it works very well and has an ok taste (if you like strawberries). Highly recommend. Tips: 1) This product contains Alginic Acid which reacts to stomach acid to form a foam raft which blocks reflux. You always look for the highest concentration of AA in these types of products. 2) You need to chew thoroughly into foam and swallow. Limit water afterwards (contrary to instructions) as water will break the foam raft. 3) if you have a bad case of LPR (sore throat, burning throat, lump in throat feeling (globus) etc. do not use this product as the citric acid will react to lodged pepsin and exasperate your condition! (different than GERD). 4) Do not take chewable antacids prior to use. It needs your stomach acid to react and build that raft. 5) Always use after meals and drink, not during or before. Again, great product and a decent price per dose for off the shelf (I have made my own).Foam raft lasts 4-6 hours... so past my major nighttime reflux events. Can recommend. Good luck and good healing!
