My Stomach Doc Says This Is The BEST to use for GERD
This is a great product and MUCH better than taking TUMMS. It takes a bit to get used to the new taste (much different than Tumms), but it is better for you apparently. I'm not a doctor. This is a 5 star product and the price here is much better than CVS.

Can't get past the taste!
Whether or not Gaviscon works will be an unknown to me as I could not stomach the taste. It's almost an indescribable taste, I suppose kind of like a vanilla flavor but not a pleasant tasting vanilla. It also comes in cherry flavor but honestly I'm not willing to spend more money experimenting. I'll go back to Extra Strength Tums! So does it work? I don't know! Does...

Gaviscon is the BEST!!, January 6, 2009
This review is from: Gaviscon Extra Strength Chewable Antacid Tablets, Original Flavor, 100-Count Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have used Gaviscon for years. It works great anytime, but mainly to take before bed, to help with acid reflux. It forms a foam cap at the top of your stomach, which helps to keep the acid from washing back up into your throat. Could not live without it!! Great seller too. Shipped it fast!!

Can't get past the taste!, June 7, 2010

It also comes in cherry flavor but honestly I'm not willing to spend more money experimenting. I'll go back to Extra Strength Tums! So does it work? I don't know! Does it taste bad? Very! There are too many choices for Antacids out there to settle for this.

very expensive; liquid form cost less; other meds work better, June 5, 2010
This review is from: Gaviscon Extra Strength Chewable Antacid Tablets, Original Flavor, 100-Count Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I frequently use this antiacid, but I don't recommend it.
1. It is, by far, the most expensive solution. Proton inhibitors work better, cost a little less, and all other antiacid types cost less.
2. Gaviscon's advantage is some form of coating that is believed to float on top of stomach acid, which make the antiacid last longer. And there's some merit to this. So, I tend to believe that for sleeping at night, this antiacid lasts longer than others. However, if one can use proton inhibitors, they work far better.
3. The tablet form is a bit sugary and is more costly than the liquid form. So, if you're using it prior to sleep, brushing teeth is troublesome.
Essentially costs about 5 to 7 times the price of generic antiacids, so unless you know why you need this, I recommend against it.
