Acid Reflux Therapy with Organic Alginate, Rapid & Long Lasting Gerd, LPR & Digestion Symptom Support, Zero Sugar, Gluten Free, Low Sodium, Lemon Ginger Flavor, 47 Gel Servings, 8 OZ Bottle

Early this year I began suffering from Gerd with acid reflux. Bummer. Especially because I’m super sensitive to everything. I could not take ppl because it screwed up my blood sugar really bad. I tried Gaviscon, but it upset my stomach. This product works. And it works very well. Had some nasty throat burn from eating and drinking on the 4th holiday. Took this last night, and I feel so Much Better. It also seemed to calm the nasty burping I hate so very much.Other reviews said to go with the Lemon Ginger. And I found that to taste just fine. Will definitely buy again.

I spent over $50.00 in high hopes that I would find a new natural alternative to my acid reflux/ Gerd This is really a quite expensive just smoke and mirrors product and possibly dangerous one.I’ve taken omeperzole for years and desperately wanted to find something safer and natural. But instead like many others after taking the first dose as directed I developed a bloating and disturbing pain in my stomach that lasted all night and into the next morning.This stuff should really not be sold! It’s not safe! Please don’t take the chance like I did.Its a waste of money and you could be risking your health.I don’t know what the natural healthy alternative is! But it’s not this! Best of luck. Zero stars but they make you choose at least one for some ridiculous reason.

I have been a sufferer of Silent Acid Reflux for nearly 20 years. I have suffered with hoarseness, laryngitis, and CHRONIC throat clearing that frustrated me as well as anyone in my presence. My throat constantly felt like I had a lump in it, and I was convinced I had throat cancer. No medications or procedures ever gave me complete relief.I have been taking PPI's along with Pepcid for decades. In 2010, I had the Nissen fundoplication procedure, which was supposed to 'fix' my issues. It didn't. The weird part is, I always had trouble accepting the acid reflux diagnosis simply because I NEVER had the burning reflux after eating the way normal sufferers experience with reflux.About 6 months ago, I went onto Cleveland Clinic's website. Great place for information, BTW. I read up on what they had to say about Silent Reflux. They did such a good job explaining.This is the explanation off of their website:Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a lesser-known form of acid reflux in which stomach acid travels ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR THROAT, causing symptoms there. LPR can be the underlying cause of hoarseness, laryngitis, chronic throat clearing and related symptoms. You might not have typical acid reflux symptoms, like heartburn or indigestion."Laryngopharyngeal (“la-Ring-go-fa-Rin-jee-al”) reflux, or LPR, is a special type of acid reflux. Acid reflux occurs when stomach juices (including acid) rise from your stomach into your esophagus (swallowing tube). Symptoms of acid reflux usually affect your lower esophagus, within your chest. But if you have LPR, the reflux has a habit of creeping higher up, into your larynx (voice box) and pharynx (throat).LPR is also called “extraesophageal” reflux, because the reflux passes beyond your esophagus. This causes different symptoms from typical acid reflux — so different that you might not realize it’s a type of reflux at all. Instead of causing heartburn and indigestion, LPR tends to irritate your voice, throat and sinuses. Because you can have LPR without other reflux symptoms, it’s sometimes called “silent reflux.”It was also on their website that I learned about alginate therapy. Reflux Raft was my second trial choice of alginate therapy. I didn't have good results with another brand I had tried. Like other people have suggested, the taste and the texture leave something to be desired; however, after trying to find relief for almost 20 years, quite frankly I didn't care what it tasted like. I wanted relief. I wanted to be able to sit in a room quietly without clearing my throat every 15 seconds. I just wanted to feel normal again.I bought one bottle to give it a try. At first, the ginger and lemon seemed to irritate my already irritated throat, which I had anticipated. But knowing the healing properties associated with those ingredients, I decided I was going to power through one full bottle and see what happens. Gradually I started feeling relief. Little by little, my throat started to heal. Before I had finished the bottle, I had completely quit clearing my throat. My husband was elated. I was elated. I could cry from thankfulness having found something that has brought me this relief. I have used one bottle a week ever since.Having this suffering come to an end is such a blessing. I am deeply grateful. I hope others can benefit from this post.

This is a thick syrup which tastes weird, but does the job!

This is a great product for those who get benefits from Gaviscon, but wish to use something more healthy and organic. Having tried Reflux Gourmet several times, which didn't work well, it seems that RefluxRaft improves upon a few things:- The consistency, which is thicker, and appears to form a more effective "raft" to prevent reflux- The ingredients, which include some antacids (e.g. sodium bicarb, calcium carb), alginate, some flavor components, and no added sugarA few areas of concern:- *The price* - it's understandable that making this product isn't cheap, but at $32-$36/bottle it adds up very quickly- Dosing - this ties into price/value, because the product is ineffective at the suggested dose of 1tsp; I require about 1tbsp, so the number of servings drops considerably- Ginger - I'm sure this varies from person to person, but as others have mentioned, the ginger flavoring can cause a bit of burn if your esophagus is sensitive or irritated; I'll typically take it with a gulp of water to avoid the burn

Please keep in mind that the following comments are for my personal experience. Your experience may be completely different.I set out to try a bunch of heartburn products on the market. I have a reflux/heartburn condition called Barret’s Esophagus. Over 30 years. Daily omeprazole….so you can imagine how awesome it would be to find other methods to deal with the reflux and heartburn.Certain food items trigger my heartburn and reflux. Eating too late. Fatty smoked foods such as barbecue. Tomato sauces with onions. Spice profiles such as with Indian curries..seems to be an onion/oil/tomato combination.The trick for me is to keep my weight down, eat moderately, avoid greasy foods, pizza, acidic, tomato based, pasta sauces, smoked meats, especially fatty ones.The strong ginger also seemed to be an irritant. I think adding ginger might have been a mistake imho.Update: having a few more opportunities to test the product specifically for the claim of instant relief for heartburn, I was unable to experience any relief. Does nothing for my reflux or heartburn.The company did kindly send me a message offering to provide a full refund for the purchase. Which I really appreciate and respect. They stand behind their product and issued a refund to me.
