It's worth a try. It worked for me the first day. I was astonished because I had been in severe distress for months. I could only sleep sitting up. When I lay down I would have reflux within a couple of minutes.
I think my stomach problems started when I took amoxicillin when I had the Chinese flu and my gut flora got decimated. The key is a probiotic with delayed release. Without it, the microorganisms get killed by your stomach acid before they reach your small intestine.
This one is cheaper than Align and has a larger variety of microorganisms.
I think there are smaller, cheaper packages. Once you get the right bacilli in your stomach they will reproduce on their own. If it works the first day like it did for me, you probably won't need to take any more, but you might as well take them every day until you run out. That's what I did.
Thank you!
I had regular reflux. Ate less, stopped eating late, and occasionally drank something acidic like apple cider vinegar, or maybe lemon juice diluted in some water about 1 1/2 hours before bedtime. I think I have only had one recent episode, and that was from eating before bed.
I hope what you are doing keeps working.
