Hi Taz2, the GP said to get back in touch if the Gaviscon Advance doesn't work but as the reflux has started at the same time as a myriad of other meno issues I can only presume that it's another joyous symptom!
CLKD - I am now in receipt of a giant 600ml bottle of Gaviscon. Yum! I guess Omeprozol will be the next step if this doesn't work..
NicolaJ and CherrySG - thanks will order some chai and liquorice tea and also some slippery elm
What a wonderful support you all are - thank you! x

I used to have terrible heartburn / gas / acid for years. I started a NOOM healthy eating programme 7 weeks ago and it’s all practically gone. I’ve lost nearly a stone in weight and am eating much healthier foods! X

Ps - I used to have omeprazole but it seriously upset my digestive system and caused different symptoms. It reduces the acid so much that the bad bacteria take over. I had awful flatulence for 3 months afterwards. I don’t know if it does this to everyone though. Antibiotics don’t do my digestive system any good either, even the gastro resistant ones. All kills the good bacteria. I stuck to Gavison after that. My acid practically went after 2 weeks of starting Noom. Highly recommend it ❤️

What's NOOM ?
Many medications may well work differently for different people which is why it can be such tiring Trial and Error

Not sure how I can eat much more healthily but always open to any suggestions. I don't drink alcohol, only have decaf green tea, no refined sugars and loads of veggies. I'm avoiding any strong spices and avoiding tomato based foods. I really hope the Gaviscon helps! Will research the NOOM diet.

I'm on omeprazole for my reflux and can eat or drink anything with no discomfort but mine is caused by a hiatus hernia which was only discovered by endoscopy. I don't like taking them long term due to the association with possible stomach cancer but without them I risk oesophageal cancer. Rock and a hard place!

Noom has been advertised on the TV and social media lately. It’s a healthy eating programme where you log your meals and it teaches you food groups - green, yellow and red. It works on psychology and completely changes how you think about food / how you cook it / healthier alternatives to bad fats etc etc. You get a personal coach and a group coach too. You also log your daily step count etc. You can eat what you want as long as you stay within your entire calorie budget and do your best to stay within the yellow and red food groups budgets. They give you an analysis of your foods as you log them. It’s the only thing that’s shifted the weight for me during menopause. Already 13.5 pounds off in 7 weeks. I won’t be going back to how I used to eat 😀

I saw an idea yesterday: "Aptimal" - powder formation which eases heartburn and reflux
Should we give it go?

If you think your baby has frequent reflux and regurgitation speak to your healthcare professional for advice.
How it works
Aptamil® Anti-Reflux is formulated with carob bean gum, which thickens the formula, helping the feed
