Hello Lillye,
Zypan did not help me.
I found this forum this morning and I realized that I have some valuable information I can share with you. Almost all my life I had an occasional heartburn, the last two years it became permanent. I do not remember when I did not have a heartburn. I did not want to have omeprozol or Nexium, so, I wanted to find some other remedy. By searching Amazon’s reviews I came to the company Standard Process and found out that Okra Pepsin E3 and Gastrex could help heal my GERD. I can say that only those two medications work for me. They are not cheap, but when in pain, you are ready to buy everything to eliminate the pain and discomfort.
I was very curious why those products work. Searched all ingredients and found out that the alginic acid helps decrease heartburn. I started to search how to use algenic acid and found out the recipe that could help someone to coat the esophagus instead of slippery elm tea.
¼ tsp of algenic acid
¼ tsp of now foods calcium carbonate powder
¼ cup of water
mix everything together until homogeneous(the way you would mix the ingredients for the omelette),
take 1-3 tablespoon when needed
