Nature's Way Acid Ease, Digestive Support for Sensitive Stomachs*, 180 ct

One of the best supplements I’ve purchased from Nature's Way. Just one capsule before eating helps so much with digestion and keeps everything feeling comfortable. My husband and I have been using Acid Ease on and off for a few years, and it has consistently worked well for us.

I'd been suffering from a perpetually hoarse voice for several years, especially after eating. Maybe it started after two abdominal surgeries, maybe earlier, I don't really remember, I do know that my doctors recommended PPI drugs for acid reflux that I dutifully took for almost five years before reading in a newspaper that these drugs can cause more harm than good if continued for more than two years. I quickly stopped using them, but then my voice began sounding like I was trying to talk while gargling - a very bad thing while giving presentations in a business setting, let me tell you! A bit of online research turned up numerous sites that talked about apple cider vinegar as a quick cure for this problem. The gist of these sites was that to cure your excess stomach acid problem you need to ............ take in more acid, in the form of acidic acid, from raw apple cider vinegar. Something about the "mother" enzymes and not the acid is what does the trick, they said. Hmmmm, my sense told me that this sounded fishy but I was desperate, so I tried it. I should listen to my sense more often because this was a complete failure. All it did was upset my stomach AND it made my voice worse than it was before. Then somebody recommended Acid-Ease. What a difference! This stuff worked as well as the vinegar didn't! Two pills is much easier to take than downing spoonfuls of acid, it has no side-effects, and is quite effective. My beautiful pearly tones have returned and I can now speak my mind without choking on fumes from my stomach. After finishing about two bottles I now find that I can forget to take the pills before a meal and it won't affect my voice afterwards. That tells me my stomach is returning to normal, yay!!! By the way, apple cider vinegar is also supposed to cure nighttime leg cramps, of which I also suffer. It seems to me that the enzymes contained therein are also in plain old unfiltered apple cider. A few swigs of the sweet stuff and my cramps go away. Maybe that'll work for you, too.

Work great

I find this helps most of the time. My acid reflux isn't from any foods, mostly triggered by stress, so I like that I can take it when the reflux occurs. Sometimes I go for months without an attack. I really like that it is all herbal.

I've been using these capsules for about a decade now to control any acid reflux or pain when I consume dairy, as I have an intolerance. I usually take 1-2 capsules before and after a meal that will affect me, and it works amazing!!

So sad that the metal was scratched.

I would not say it'll kill h-pylori or eradicate or suppress it. Even though, I was a h pylori sufferer, I never had stomach pain or heartburn, it was just detected during some routine check ups. In my case, after having gone through Triple Antibiotic Therapy, my stomach was left with weird heartburn like symptoms. I tried so many options like DGL, Aloe Vera and enzymes and they simply refused to work. They brought no comfort at all. I would suck on DGL before and after the meal religiously, I would drink aloe vera juice as frequently as I could and enzymes but I was still suffering for weeks. Then I came across this stuff and hopelessly/desperately took this before and after meal, and that was the moment of great relief, I must say instant relief. I found on the internet, for some folks those DGL stuff works, not for me. This Acid Ease worked great for me. Next day on, I quit all other options but Acid Ease, and within a week, I felt like I could eat mountain, my appetite was stronger and heartburn disappeared in the course. I've been passing words about this product everywhere since it healed me. Don't go by the look of the label, it looks faded pinkish label but pills work like a charm.

Update (5/15/2017): This is still a great product. I've noticed it works best if you take it AFTER a meal/snack that has caused heartburn. I was taking it with the meal, but for me, it works better if you wait to take it until you're experiencing heartburn/indigestion. I would suggest if you've tried it WITH your meal and it's not working, try it again once you start experiencing heartburn/indigestion, and see if it's any better. If you have SEVERE reflux, this won't stop the reflux, so you'll probably still have symptoms. But it's GREAT for occasional heartburn and indigestion. I always have 2 pills in my pocket or purse, just in case. Original Review: If you have occasional heartburn, this works great. I had severe GERD that nothing worked for, not the strongest PPIs or any natural remedy, and I had a Nissen surgery to correct that issue. Now that I no longer have acid reflux, this product is great for the occasional heartburn I get. It works better than Tums or Zantac.
