My wife and I both have started to have GERD symptoms (always having to clear our throats), and am trying to find a way to get rid of that feeling.

She has heartburn, I have never had it.

The pharmacist recommended we try Gaviscon, but when we chew it, it kind of foams up in our mouths. The other option they have is liquid (which I am sure tastes terrible).

Should we just go ahead and take Prilosec? Or is there something we should try?

Nothing says it helps what we have, so we go with what suggestions we get.

Thanks

You can try digestive enzymes. The ones with natural ingredients are better for you. You can also try a papaya chewable. I take both of these immediately after a meal and I'm fine.
