text: While this product does work to keep the reflux in check, the side effects were pretty intense - bloating , gas for many hours after. I used it several times and got the same exact reaction. I think this may be due to the artificial sugar alcohols used to sweeten the tablets. Too bad they don't make a cleaner version of this. I've had better luck with lifestyle modifications in diet and making sure I eat sitting down, slowly and calmly (instead of standing up or eating while working.)
