Getting breakthrough on PPIs in the middle of the night, just wondered if anyone knows if DGL is effective for reflux just before bed?

I wouldn't bother with everything that you read on the internet about miracle supplements. Sometimes it can cause more harm than good. If you are having breakthrough reflux, I would take a pepcid before bedtime and follow a strict GERD-friendly diet.

Thanks Sharon, I understand your view and I am being cautious, I thought people with a GERD interest may have an informed opinion, via actual use, about DGL.

Unfortunately, the Boards are very slow and you may not receive any responses. You can always check with your doctor.
