Hi Russ. Cool research. Thanks for all of them.

Well blow me over and call me a fishmonger! Algin is in “Gaviscon”
I took this stuff daily for about 5 years. I had chronic heartburn. At the end I had heartburn 24 hours a day, no matter what I did, what I ate nor what position I was in.
With a sad face my doctor told me “Some people don’t get better, you will have to take these pills forever. It is something you will have to learn to live with.” And then he sent me on my way…..i can still see his stupid smug face now covered in fake pity. $£$*&^

I can confirm gavison is not harmful.

Well 5 years of taking Gaviscon don’t make the heartburn go away, but I managed to 95pct cure myself in two weeks in spite of stupid doctors (sorry, this really gets me going) telling me complete rubbish like that. What a cock! (sorry, this really really gets me going.) 9 years I had bloody heartburn. 9 years. The solution was so simple too.

My Mum has a friend from church who had heartburn all the time and was tired all the time. You know what the Doc said to her “you should drink lucozade every day, it will give u more energy.” Seriously I swear to god. That is what a doctor told this poor woman.
The mind boggles, ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyway….i’m rambling….gaviscon is off topic.

Cool research Russ, as ever U Da Man!
