Yipsy It does seem to help me although not a cure all. I took too much a couple of times and it was not good. Serious heartburn and stomach discomfort. I never get heartburn and my doc told me I would know if I took too much if I got heartburn.
I have found if I use it on just 1 meal a day that it does seem to help. I would likely be further helping by cutting out alcohol and improving my diet, but I haven't hit that point of desperation yet. I tend to forget to take it when I am away from home and when going out to eat a large meal that would be a better time to take it.
