I do t drink smoke don’t eat cakes or biscuits no fizzy drinks stopped coffee, I do eat chocolate. Bed head is raised sleep on left side . Not overweight so I feel I’m doing everything correctly nor do I wear tight clothes I’m at my wits end 🙄

DH and my sis in law both take Gaviscon Advance. Both have found omeprazole unhelpful and lansoprazole very unhelpful.

I take Gaviscon advance at bedtime, it’s prescribed along with Famotidine works well.

I used Rennies as and when I needed them but cutting the triggers out of my daily diet helped the most.

Anyone take over counter reflux tabs liquid, which do you find suits you best having tried two different ppi’s both that haven’t suited me, and waiting for drs appointment I was wondering if anyone has had any joy with Gaviscon etc
