I have GERD and IBS and have a lot of indigestion and pressure in my chest. This medication has helped tremendously. It takes about 2 weeks for the full effect of the medication, so be patient!

After having esophageal cancer, the doctor asked that I swish with this medicine and swallow. It's been helpful since I had the dry heaves and had a tendancy toward yeast infections in the esophagus.
