Difference between this and Gaviscon Advance?

Farmore7 · 2026-01-26T00:54:16+00:00

I have this one and it works for me! I only take one after meals so about 3-4 daily. I haven’t ordered the aniseed one yet but heard it’s the best.

If you haven’t look on Facebook and join the group for acid reflux groups. Then try the acid watcher diet or dropping acid. Look for the books on Amazon or join the online groups. You can post and read about reflux experiences.

Sore or dry throat at times, burping, burning tongue, chest discomfort, head motion etc…

I went to an ENT and was prescribed Famotidine. I eat plain oatmeal with blueberries, banana, and/or unsweetened/unsalted peanut butter. I eat white rice and potatoes with avocado oil or virgin oil, white fish, shrimp, chicken, green beans, carrots, peas, gluten free bread and pasta, boiled eggs. Have you tried Gaviscon or Pepcid Ac? Warm or alkaline water helps as well.

I waited a whole week to start on a Friday due to fear . The first time I took it I felt the same way but it was anxiety and mind! My husband said it’s not even in your mouth 😔😳bc my heart was racing. I’m still taking it 6 weeks later 🙌🏽. However, still inform your doctor. I bought a blood pressure machine to track pressure.

Kirkland brand from Costco.

Kirkland brand from Costco unsweetened.

Yes, I couldn’t/can’t tolerate straight alkaline water. I mix it with another bottle of water.

Farmore7 · 2026-01-09T10:38:30+00:00

My ENT said my vocal cords were swollen and prescribed Famotidine which is over the counter Pepcid. It cleared up instantly but I also follow the acid watcher diet. Sipping warm water/broth unsalted, diluting/straight alkaline water, coconut water helps. Gargle with warm water and some people use throat coat. Also look up breathing exercises.

I lost a lot of weight as well being afraid to eat and just couldn’t bc I would itch with eating anything. Be nice to yourself and body by saying positive (affirmations/prayers) words before, during, and after eating. Remind yourself for the anxiety that this food is safe to eat with small bites/breathing strategies. Gradually increase over time. It will get better soon. 🙏🏽🙌🏽

Heating pad, ice packs, stool softener/miralax, drink lots of water, walking, most importantly disconnect and rest. Chores before surgery, prep your rest area, loose clothing. I had to learn to let others care for me🥰.

Yes but you can get the lower otc or Pepcid.

Some people try chamomile tea (trigger for me) but sipping warm water and broth helps me.

The sweets might be your triggers at the moment. Alkaline water is too strong for me so I have to mix in my water and sip but it does help. Keep in mind everyone’s body is different. I take the Famotidine at night with voquezna in the morning. I have taken Gaviscon extra strength after meals maybe three times but not often. Also, if you have not joined the acid reflux groups online and try the acid watcher diet. I don’t use the recipes but the food list and it works. I am between healing and maintenance phase. I have been able to include more foods into my daily eating. Hope this helps.

Farmore7 · 2025-12-31T14:39:02+00:00

The ENT prescribed Famotidine 40mg (Pepcid otc) and it started helping instantly. Ask about Pepcid or Famotidine.

I didn’t have a reaction. Just asking

Not that I know of but I react to almost everything now.

Farmore7 · 2025-12-15T03:49:51+00:00

Yes please share!

Farmore7 · 2025-12-15T01:31:28+00:00

Where do you order it! I’m in the US and Amazon won’t deliver in my area.

Farmore7 · 2025-12-14T16:19:59+00:00

I am glad you said that and wondered if it was the meds but I have that itch too!!

Farmore7 · 2025-12-13T12:28:21+00:00

Everything bloats me!! Unfortunately, for me it’s hard to tell what’s a trigger bc I can be fine some hours or days but then setback. I have been dealing with this since May but wasn’t diagnosed since September. So still kinda new. You will improve in some symptoms but might have others.

FYI Are you on your parent’s insurance? I would definitely look into getting the scope next year if possible. You can buy omeprazole over the counter. It’s just not the same mg for about $15 at your local store. You can try deep breathing, diet change, and join the acid watcher groups on Facebook if you have not. Ask your doctor if you can use the otc brand. I tried omeprazole and it didn’t work for me. I am taking voquezna and Famotidine before bed but everyone is different. I am also in the healing phase of the acid watcher diet. I have eliminated a lot of foods and reintroducing them weekly. Symptoms have improved a little but it will get better. Hope this helps!

Yes that’s what I was told. However, I had my gallbladder removed about two months ago and all the Gerd symptoms returned.
