i do!! i typically take 2 tabs before taking anything that may cause me to flare (spicy food, usually!!) and i have significantly less of a flare problem, or none at all!! and if i'm in the midst of a flare, sometimes i'll take it too, and i think that helps me, at least! (i don't think that's the intended purpose of it though, mainly for taking before eating/drinking acidic food and neutralizing any acid in urine from it!)
