Anyone used Reflux Raft?

Hi, @sylvermoon8 - I'm tagging a few members from different discussion groups around Mayo Clinic Connect who have mentioned something about either Reflux Raft, an alginate-based therapy, or Gaviscon Advance, an extra-strength, alginate-based reflux suppressant, who might tell you if one or the other helped them and how they compare, if they have used both products. Please meet, if you've not already, @muffyy @vking @lightlifts @emo @mistea @baywood @thorne @becleartoday @tjoanne. If they feel they have something they'd like to share on this, I'd invite them to join this discussion and do so.

sylvermoon8 - it looks like you are looking for some relief from reflux symptoms. Is this correct? If so, which symptoms are causing the most challenges?

If only tried Gavison Advance. Its a couple steps up from regular Gavison/ Mylanta. It does limit stomach and esophagus burning. I use it in conjunction with Voquenza 20mg.

I currently use Reflux Raft. At first I took it after breakfast and before bed because that is when I had heartburn. Now I just use it before bed. For me, it works well and I no longer wake up with dysphagia.

Thank you. I have just begun using it and it seems to be helping. I am only using it before bed, one tsp. My reflux is mostly only overnight, waking with burning. If this doesn’t work out I will try the Gaviscon.

Good morning everyone. My reflux also was mostly at bedtime. I eliminated some triggers (citrus was no good for me) and started with Reflux Gourmet which came in a tube, was a thick goo, very sweet and I felt it like was not helping. I switched to Esophageal Guardian, which I liked a lot, and then on a whim, I tried Esophasoothe, by Biogenesis. I like it the best. The dosage is 2 chewable tabs, but I only take one and wash it down with some alkaline water - Evamor. I love this stuff - no more reflux!
