Hey Folks:

I've been suffering from acid reflux for some about eight years now. I've been scoped, etc., and been on all the usual drugs (Prevacid, etc.). The drugs were effective in tamping down the reflux but they gave me a very weak stomach, I believe, and a kind of sick feeling. Recently I started going to a naturopath and she recommended the following:

GI-Encap (from Thorne), 1 capsule
HMF Forte (Acidophilus also from Thorne), 1 capsule

I've never felt better. My symptoms have been entirely relieved: no reflux and no side effects. If you are open to this kind of treatment, I'd consider talking to a naturopath and asking about this treatment.

I would also be careful to buy only supplements from reputable providers like Thorne. There are a number of reports that the potency of over-the-counter supplements varies widely by manufacturer, particularly those brands that seem to have the most space at your local drug store. I'd go with a naturopath's recommendation, instead, despite the significant additional expense.

I hope it works for you!
