I’ve had reflux/GERD for over 20 years. I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus about 12 years ago and have been on Omeprazole daily for that long. I took a chance on Flora Biome because I saw others having great luck and I’d tried everything else. First off, I hate pickled, sour or tart so it took me a minute to take the shot. It immediately made me think of Pickled Worcestershire sauce. I choked it down for a week straight before I got more used to it. Still not my favorite taste, especially before my coffee, but I won’t skip a day after 5 bottles of continuous use. I can only describe how bad my gut was like this: I had stopped eating anything after 2pm and still experienced lava throat every night. I was sleeping sitting up on a wedge pillow turned over so I was as upright as I could get and still sleep. We put a master suite addition on the lower level our house so I didn’t have to sleep downstairs away from hubby when it got really bad and bought a bed that was more flexible so it was easier for me to sleep. I have only had breakthrough reflux a few times since the first bottle and it’s usually because I really tested it by eating pepperoni our way too much bread within 2 hrs before bed. I haven’t gotten off the Omeprazole yet but I’m on the lowest dose now. That will take a bit more time because I’ve taken it for so long. THANK YOU Triquetra!!
