Enzymatic Therapy - Heartburn Free w/ ROH10 - 10 softgels

When I say this product saved me---IT DID! Quick back story: a year and a half ago, I developed a weird lump in my throat with what seemed like a lot of mucus. I thought I had a sinus infection and allopathic doc gave me antibiotics. That didn't work, so went to the ENT. Diagnosed me with Silent Reflux and prescribed PREVACID. I took them and it worked...until I tried to get off them. Every time I would try, the lump in throat came back AND a huge burning sensation that traveled into my esophagus....much worse than my original symptoms. So I figured I was doomed to a life of OTC proton pump inhibitors. Nothing my natural doc did would help--tried DGL, baking soda, digestive enzymes, apple cider vinegar...nothing. Out of desperation, I found the story behind HEARTBURN FREE...it was a natural product and I saw that it helped 85% of users. Hmmm...seriously, why don't the ENT or Gastro docs recommend this first before dooming their patients to a life of PPI's? Amazes me that they don't....this can really help! I have seen that if you have an ulcer, to not use!!! So heed that warning...MY REMEDY FOR WEANING OFF PREVACID?1. I started with one pack of the Heartburn Free by Enzymatic Therapy. I took the Heartburn Free every other day for 6 days(3 pills). I took it and my prevacid on the same day, but took Prevacid first thing in the morning and then HF an hour before lunch. I wouldn't take them at the same time.....( I emailed Enzymatic Therapy to check for contraindications, and they do not know of any...but check with them yourself to verify. ) After day 6, I braved up and only took the Heartburn Free. Then the next day, I took a Prevacid and alternated days of HF & Prevacid for the rest of the pack 7 pills or 14 more days. Now, to be totally honest, I had 3 days of acidy symptoms that weren't as bad as before, but still left me miserable. Once, it passed, I never had rebound symptoms again.2. THEN: I ordered another pack. Some people need this, and I was one of them. Being on prevacid for a year, left my stomach on melt down and asking it to start producing acid again was going to be a challenge. The acid comes back in force and leaves you with wanting to take and then taking the Prevacid again. Ugh! So anyway, got another pack and just took the Heartburn Free EVERY DAY. I ate on my best behavior. Asking the tummy to work again had to be a fair proposition---treat it well for the next 2 weeks and it will behave nicely. So, I ate perfectly--a lot of alkalizing food--read up on that!3. For good measure: I ordered my final pack. I don't know if this is what you should do, but I needed to do this. I used this pack to go back to taking HF every other day for 4 pills (8 days). NO PREVACID! Then, I took 1 HF pill every 3rd day. Ex: Took HF on Monday, Thursday, Sunday. Then with remaining pills, I took 1 pill every 4th day...by the time the packet was done, I no longer needed them and my tummy was healed! I have been heartburn, Acid reflux free since Christmas 2013. A Christmas miracle...thank you God & thank you Enzymatic Therapy!

I have been taking Heartburn Free for several years and it does work. There is a caveat that could of course help your heartburn situation and that is to change ones diet.So like a broken record I recommend...Eating an alkaline diet could substantially change the GERD, heartburn and indigestion epidemic for many people. Sugar is one of the biggest triggers for heartburn along with all the processed foods that are offered to us as "healthy" "low-fat" and "good for you".Alkalize your system. Eat your veggies.Juicing (get a great juice book like the Big Book of Juices), drinking warm water with fresh lemon in the morning and throughout the day, green tea, lots of fresh steamed greens, quinoa or brown rice with fresh vegetables, Lily of the Desert Aloe for the Stomach. Look at what you are eating and drinking : keep alcohol, coffee (unless it an acid-free variety) and sugary foods and drinks to a minimum could help to heal your system. I found that it important to drink plenty of water.Alkalizing is key to reducing or eliminating this problem along with this product.One thing I do: Twice a year I take part in The Ultimate Energy Cleanse with my yoga group. This sets my system up well to stay heartburn free. We eat fresh, delicious alkalizing foods not bland or mushy, truly delicious and at the end I feel great. The recipes from that cleanse are helpful in maintaining a happy and healthy digestive tract. My food coach Judy Griffin helps our group to stay on track. I recommend a good healthful cleanse to help you as well. Not some fad but a new way to look at how you eat and approach food does help.Along with this product. It does work but it helped me to look at the entire picture of how I was eating and being in life.When I first started taking Heartburn Free I was on Prevacid. My first step was to alternate the Heartburn Free with the Prevacid, then I took a Heartburn Free everyday for 20 days, then I moved over to every other day and have continued to do so.Please know that if you stop taking heartburn` free you will most likely, over time find that the symptoms might return so as a precaution continue or keep a supply handy as I have had re-occurences especially when I over indulge in food and drink that do not agree with my system. When I restart and get back on track with` my diet the problem disappears. good luck to you. hope this helps.

This is my favorite remedy, along with the German Chocolate DGL, DGL Ultra German Chocolate - 90 Chewable Tablets (Pack of Two) for an overall reduction of heartburn/reflux sensations. I don't find that it works quite as long as it claims (months), but for me it is helpful for several weeks at least when I take as directed. If you lie down for bed and begin to feel that reflux feeling you can take one and within 30 minutes it will be gone and you'll sleep well. You may have burps that taste citrusy, but that's better than the burning sensation of the reflux. You can also take it at dinner or with a meal and you're less likely to have the citrusy burps.I do think the product is overpriced for what it is, only 10 capsules. However, I've tried other brands that are the same main ingredient and they've not worked even a quarter as well as these.
