RELIEF... Finally...
I have had chronic heartburn for over a year. I've taken every OTC drug for it from Pepcid to Pepto, Nexium 24 to Prilosec...brand name and generic versions of each. I've used Tums, Rolaids, and Peppermint essential oil to ease the burn. I've tried milk, and baking soda water. I've tried the sleep at an angle, don't lay down for 2 hours after eating, don't eat too late, don't wear tight clothes mumbo-jumbo my Doctor told me about. At most, these have worked for short times or haven't helped at all.
I was at my wits end when I turned to Amazon for some kind of relief that I hadn't tried. I found Maty's All Natural Acid Indigestion Relief and thought "well, this is a little more than I want to spend, but what the hell, let's give it a try." It fell in a mid range price, and seemed to have decent reviews... so I clicked the button and added it to my cart.
Within a day or so the bottle had arrived, and to be honest, I was excited. I was torn between taking it proactively and popping a pill right then and there, or waiting for a flare-up and then taking a pill. I opted for the later, as I fear my body growing immune to it and having it not work. Anywho... when my next episode occurred a day or so later, I took my first pill. Now... I wasnt in the full fledged back of the throat is on fire, let's just cut it out stage of my flare-up; but more in the burping up bile stage. (You know what I am talking about).
When I opened the bottle, I was a little surprised at the size of the pill. These pills aren't for pill-popping-pansies. They are fairly large pills (you might want to think twice about buying this product if you have a hard time swallowing pills). Anyway, I took the pill and to be honest...shortly after I took it, I felt like it was lingering in my throat. So I decided to read the instructions (yeah, a little late, I know... but dont judge me) and it says to take the pill with 6 to 8 oz. of water. That's different than my general quick swig of water to flush the pills down. I went back to my cup and proceeded to drink my remaining 7.5 oz. of water. Sure enough, problem solved and that feeling of the pill being stuck went away.
Time for results. So normally, I take my antacid wait a few, feel the flare up again, pop a couple tums, wait a few, pop a couple more and then hope for sleep (most of my bouts of heartburn are at night when I go to bed or they wake me from my beauty sleep). But with this pill, I simply took it, chilled sitting up for a few (cause you arent supposed to be laying down during a flare-up) and within a few minutes I felt good enough to lay down.... and the vicious demon heartburn was kept at bay for the rest of my night. It was A-MA-ZING.
If you have tried everything else with little to no relief, then it's definitly time to give Maty's a try. I highly doubt you'll be dissatisfied with the results.
PS.... not I have not been paid or coerced into writing this review.... I'm just a woman happy to be getting sleep again.
