having had this condition since a young child I've found this to help me almost as good as Nexium, which my medical will not cover. I occasionally need to take an xtra Zantac but it works for me

Worked about 85 percent, but unfortunately I could not handle the headaches and insomnia which stopped the day I stopped taking it. I think I need to just change my diet.
