@sunnyflower I didn’t notice until one day, after months of taking it, the capsule collapsed in my mouth. I took too long to drink water with it. I noticed the burning feeling was the same as with my stomach. No matter how much water I drank, I could not get that burning feeling to go away. Thankfully, I did not have GERD, the reflux disease, nor was the burning from the neuropathy. I even called the manufacturer with questions to get more information. At first, they tried to brush me off by telling me to call my physician. I was never asked any questions by them. I felt it was their product why should I contact my doctor! What would he know to do that I didn’t? Surprisingly, they began cooperating but gave me a weak suggestion to take it with food. Really? I gave up on them and started experimenting with the supplement on my own. I found a solution that best fits me. I take it with ALC and foods low in acid. Best of luck to you. Toni
