Texture is like a sticky gel pudding? It's a bit hard to get past, but it's not horrible. The taste is fine. It'd be nice if the packaging were smaller so I could take it in my purse with me, but again, not horrible.

I had high hopes for this product as I tried the mint version. It didn't help as much as I had originally hoped it would. The company was very receptive, and they encouraged me to try another flavor. This product is definitely worth a shot, as it's natural, and they will back their product!

Reflux Gourmet does not cure the disease but alleviate symptoms. It tastes great and is easy to swallow. It is a bit pricy for a habitual use.

Works pretty good most of the time; but if a person overeats or eats food that cause acid reflex it does not work very well.

I think this is a good alternative for taking medicines, obviously this is completely subjective to personal health and severity of symptoms. I've had pretty bad GERD and get that throat acid feeling after eating, which is just an issue with the lower sphincter. I like this product because it addresses the anatomical issue by creating the raft with alginate. Keep in mind, they did not create the alginate concept, "sodium alginate" is the key ingredient that gives the "raft" floating concept on top of the stomach acid, which in theory is supposed to stop or reduce the acid refluxing from stomach to esophagus. This is basically a version of Gaviscon (advance or dual action) and other alginate products, but it's a good product. Things I don't like and believe others would also agree (I've also tested this product on hot vinegar so I can see how it actually works, trying to replicate the stomach environment:
- 5ml recommended dose is unlikely to create enough raft to sufficiently do the job, based on the volume of the stomach. When I put 5ml (1tsp) in 99f vinegar, the raft formation is about the size of a quarter coiled up.. therefore, you probably need more like 10-20ml (Gaviscon recommended dose), which significantly increases the already expensive product.
-As my previous note alludes, the product is already expensive at the recommended dose, considering someone will have this multiple times per day, you realistically need to order 2-3X more often making it very unaffordable
-I like the product claims all natural ingredients but does have ambiguity around all ingredients. Considering the taste is pretty good, makes me want to know exactly what I'm putting in my body multiple times a day. Just because something is natural, doesn't mean I may want to consume it.
-People with reflux who are trying to find solution other than a pill, likely do not want multiple grams of sugar per serving multiple times per day. As mentioned, if you need 2-3X the dose each time, your looking at 5-10g of sugar each serving.. many people take this before bed which is not ideal to slam that amount of sugar before bed. I rather stevia or something so I'm not hyped on sugar + calories.
Overall would recommend, but if some of the negative aspects such as cost make this inaccessible to you, you can likely also make your own sodium alginate/calcium carbonate blend (search online) or just buy Gaviscon (make sure it's not the USA version because that oddly does not have the sodium alginate/carbonate blend). If they reduced sugar/use stevia instead along with creating a larger version at a more reasonable cost, I would definitely recommend and buy more.
