These capsules work just as well as everyone says! I have been taking them for about two weeks once daily after dinner, and only had acid reflux a couple times the first two to three days. I had been taking prilosec two tablets twice daily on an empty stomach (a prescription dose) just to survive the previous month or so and by now have almost already weaned completely off. I also drastically cut out NSAIDS and started taking licorice root (Nature's Way) and concentrated aloe vera gel (NOW) to help heal my esophagus and my GI tract, but the D-limonene is what worked first that allowed me to make all these other changes. Except for the first day or two there were no weird "orange burps" even though I still have regular burps they are not orange flavored and not reflux. These things are truly magic and saved my sanity and ability to sleep through the night without tasting or inhaling food and acid. Right now I still have to be a little careful what I eat, but it is improving already. Amazing! Don't be scared by a couple of bad reviews where people didn't swallow the capsule all the wlay - it is a large soft gel but a full glass of water should be sufficient. Pretty much everyone is either helped or cured with the D-limonene is my impression. Highly recommended at least to try - you won't be dissappointed!! I can't emphasize this enough how much this has changed my health and even if you have to keep taking them, they are inexpensive and there are no harmful side effects like there are with antacids!
Edit: sometimes I still have an episode of reflux occasionally even on this regimen, and all I do is take one of these an extra time and it solves it - no antacids needed! I plan to take these once daily in the evenings for the foreseeable future - I don't think they are always a cure but break the cycle of the reflux irritating the esophagus and causing more reflux, and I'm still off prilosec! I believe that I have some serious underlying disease process to deal with, which I suspect is intestinal hyperpermeability, also known as "leaky gut", and so my situation may be a little more complex than many.
Edit: my experience a couple months in is consistent with what I have written. There are many other interventions I have taken and many other supplements I take directly for my GI issues. I have written longer reviews on Nature's Way Licorice Root (non-DGL), NOW Aloe Vera concentrated gel caps, NOW Slippery Elm, and Jarrow L-glutamine, all of which I am using to help treat my intestinal hyperpermeability, i.e."leaky gut". Licorice, Aloe, Slippery Elm, and Marshmallow root all help treat acid reflux directly, also, as well as helping heal the esophagus and the digestive tract, in case anyone needs more help. I also take Hyperbiotics probiotics, which significantly reduced the reflux all on their own before I knew about the D-limonene. Finally, I take digestive enzymes right after I eat, including broad spectrum enzymes by Dr. Best, and NOW Betaine Hcl which helps resolve GERD by acting to increase stomach acid (same idea as swallowing lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) and especially helps digest high protein meals (reverses all the damage of suppressing it with all those antacids that don't work and just cause more damage and maldigestion and malabsorption - you need stomach acid to properly digest your food! - sounds counterintuitive but Google GERD and low stomach acid and you will get lots of info). Again, my situation is complex and it normally takes many months to heal "leaky gut" so I simply wanted to first of all share the other supplements that have and are helping me, and second tell you not to get discouraged if D-limonene is not a cure-all if you have a more complex situation. MANY folks get complete cure and remission from the D-limonene, and many folks find that it secondarily resolves issues in the rest of the GI tract as well, such as IBS, by breaking the cycle of irritation and inflammation. Highly RECOMMEND TRY IT!! If "ALL"l it does is replaces your antacids that is a HUGE SUCCESS STORY!!

120 count vs 60 count
Product works well for me to reduce and eliminate my acid reflux.In the past I was ordering the 60 count bottles, this time I saw the 120 count at similar price, however upon using the new bottle I notice the caps are around 1/2 the size as are in the 60 count bottle which leads me to think the caps in the 120 bottle are 500mg not 1000mg, the labeling may be incorrect.
