Prelief - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

Has anyone heard of or tried over the counter "Prelief" to reduce the acid in food? It's the same maker of "Beano" and consists of calcium and magnesium. I also have interstitial cystitis (inflammation of bladder) and many people with "IC" take it. Why haven't I heard about this for LPR? I'm on Nexium 40 mg twice a day for LPR.The pharmacist didnt' see any reason why I couldn't take it in addition to the Nexium, of course not at the same time. Wonder if it would also help LPR sufferers.

I've never heard of it but it sure sounds good if it works. How long before you eat do you have to add it to the food and does it change the taste of the food. Let us know after you try it.

You take two tablets three times a day, best with meals, also at bedtime if desired. It hasn't changed the taste of food so far. The ingredients are:

Calcium glycerophosphate and magnesium stearate. They have a website at [url]www.prelief.com[/url].

Too much calcium is not good........ask ur doc

I've never even heard of it, but if, as you say, it is majorly calcium and magnesium, then isn't that the same as half the antacids out there?
