Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I tried this because I figured “why not?” I have severe reflux, and I have for years though it’s gotten so much worse that I was worrying about esophageal cancer as a friend’s husband died of it a few years ago, and we shared a similar history with ibuprofen usage. I stopped taking ibuprofen daily over a year ago, but I was still having to combine Prilosec and nexium to not have my mouth literally filling with vomit hours after eating. Every night I battled reflux. Every day. My diet got worse and worse because I couldn’t stand the pain, and I was becoming constantly hungry (in an unhealthy way) or dealing with just this nagging “something” from my digestive tract. I have a history years ago of H. pylori, and that caused similar symptoms of extreme hunger. I figured I’d give this a try. I’ve credited probiotics with helping with gas and gurgling, so I’m familiar with them, but that effect had long passed. I’ve taken this for about a month, I think? I realized in the middle of the night last week that I hadn’t taken prilosec in days. Or nexium. No antacids whatsoever. I felt fine. There was no acid in my mouth, there was a strange feeling in my stomach. I took Prilosec + nexium (doctor approved, I can’t afford dexilant) one night out of fear as I had a slight reflux, but am again 3 days out from the last PPI. My stomach actually feels weird, a bit like when I took meds for H. pylori years ago. I realized I can feel “that spot” that always came up as pre-ulcer on tests back when I could afford them, except it feels peaceful. I had chili with Mexican cheese for dinner last night, ate the whole dish, then took a bath. I had a bit of a burp around 11PM. That’s it. There is no way I could’ve eaten chili even 6 hours before lying down without acid filling my mouth. I guess I can’t prove it’s from this probiotic. I’m taking it 1-3 times a day, and I forgot it a few days ago but still had no reflux. None. My entire system feels different, and the only thing I’ve done differently in months is take this supplement. I’ve had a pretty strong response from an unrelated medication that seems to be working better, which means I may be able to cut the dose. The only side effect I seem to have is a much drier mouth which is concerning, but not enough to consider pausing this. It could be from something else, as I have several autoimmune disorders that can also cause that. I may be feeling a bit less inflammation in my body, not sure, but I definitely have much less stomach inflammation, less bloating, less hunger>acid>hunger>acid no matter what I ate or did. I’m not thinking about my stomach all the time. I wouldn’t bother writing this if I didn’t find it to work like this. Hopefully, someone will see this, try it, and find themselves amazed at the response within a few weeks. I’m on my second box and really, really happy to have tried it. If I have to report back with a different response, I will do so. I just hope it helps someone else.
