Designs for Health GastroMend HP, Mastic Gum, 60 Capsules

I have been having a lot of trouble with indigestion lately, with belching and trouble eating certain foods. I have a dormant peptic ulcer that only flares up when I am under certain kinds of stress. In researching this, I found that the ingredients in this product are perfect for my situation, so even though it's very expensive, I decided to try it and am getting good results after only 4 days on it. Healing takes time, so I will have to stay on it for awhile. I have discovered that it's best taken on an empty stomach, at least an hour (2 is better if you can do it) away from any food being eaten. I take it with plenty of water first thing when I get up and then again mid-afternoon, 2 hours before dinner. There are two negative reviews that give incorrect information. Neither of them appear to have read the label correctly. The amounts of DGL and Zinc shown on the label are for a full dose of FOUR capsules. They apparently multiplied the amount shown by 4, which led them to think there was too much of those ingredients to be safe. Not so. Also, I want to say that it's important to use "the right tool for the job." This product is designed to help reduce H. pylori (associated with ulcers and stomach inflammation) and rebuild the mucous lining of the stomach. Acid reflux (GERD, heartburn) is caused by too little stomach acid, so the valve at the top of the stomach doesn't close properly. H. pylori gives off waste that neutralizes stomach acid, so this product probably won't help with reflux until the H. pylori are reduced and the stomach becomes acidic enough for that valve to close. These are complex issues, so your results may vary. I am happy to have found it for me and it's working well for me. My bottle arrived intact, so I didn't have the breakage that others reported, but I think I was lucky because it wasn't in a box and the packaging didn't offer a lot of protection. UPDATE: I wrote the above after only 4 days on this. Today (2 days later), I started experiencing die-off symptoms, so while it feels yucky, this is a very good sign! It seems to be killing off the bad bugs in my stomach and healing has also been taking place. If this makes you feel worse, that could be die-off. Look up Herxheimer reaction to find out more about this.

I have reflux/LPR and I have tried over the counter to prescription reflux meds and for me this has been one of the cornerstones in helping me beat down the reflux and get off prescription meds. This supplement takes a few of the most proven and effective supplements and puts them in one easy to take capsule. In particular, the Vitamin U Methylmethioninesulfonium ingredient, has been shown to reverse ulcers and calm stomach irritation, along with DGL and Zinc. This supplement provides 200mg of Vitamin U in the 4 capsule serving, or 50mg per capsule, an amount incredibly hard to find anywhere else. The competing product on Amazon, Gastrazyme, for example has 15mg per capsule, less than a third, and you can't take extra because it has high amounts of vitamin A which you could overdose on. There is a spray product who I contacted and they said there is only about 5mg per spritz. So if you are looking particularly for Vitamin U this is by far the best alternative. Medications try to knock out the acid producing actions of the stomach, which is hopeless as your stomach basically exists to produce acid. These ingredients act on the irritation and inflammation which is the root cause of excessive reflux (combined with a weak esophageal sphincter). This is a bit pricey but I feel like is a good value for a combined supplement that does not skimp on dosage of the expensive ingredients like vitamin U and works well. This supplement works well in combination with Gaviscon Advance (not the regular Gaviscon) which uses sodium algineate which provides a physical raft block to prevent acid from exiting the stomach (as opposed to most medications which try to neutralize acid which as I pointed out is a ridiculous thing to do in the stomach). I believe this combination of Gastromend to heal/repair the stomach combined with Gaviscon Advance to provide a physical block on the top (particularly after big meals or flareups or before you lie down) is the best available treatment for acid reflux right now and is much better than prescription H2 inhibitors or PPI's.

I’m gluten intolerant and have always had gut issues. The last 2 years have been a big struggle. I had been taking this for about a month and was really starting to feel a lot better. I went on vacation and fell off of taking it for two weeks and I reverted in a big way. It must have been working very well for me! Started it again today!

I have struggled with gastritis pain for far too long. I've tried all kinds of things to help but nothing would ease the pain until I found this! I saw a difference in just 2 days. No more pain, no more super bloating. Yes, this may be a bit pricey but worth every penny to be pain free!

This item really works

Upset stomach , the smell is very bad . Threw it away , waste of money

Just finished my first bottle, taking four capsules each morning on an empty stomach with plenty of water. As recommended by my provider to heal H. Pylori and chronic stomach upset, I'm planning to take them for three months, so this is more of a midpoint check-in. They are quite expensive, so I was really hoping to notice some improvement in my gut symptoms by now but unfortunately, I haven’t seen any positive changes. I've had almost daily diarrhea since starting them. It's hard to tell whether that’s part of the “healing” process or a sign that these aren’t agreeing with me. Based on other reviews, I don’t find that these smell or taste weird. That said, I’m going to give it a full 8 weeks before making a final call. I’ll update this review with any changes (good or bad) as I continue. Fingers crossed!

This is an amazing product - 1 star off for the high price. The pills are super easy to swallow, and it has a slight taste and smell but not unpleasant. The ingredients and health benefits are extremely high quality, and it really benefits stomach comfort.

Fue vital para superar el helicobacter junto con una dieta adecuada.Lo pienso tener en casa siempre.Merece la pena a pesar del precio.

مافي مصداقية انا طلبت 120 حبة بتوصلني 60 حبة ومافي ارجاع

Best product I’ve tried for upset stomach. Been fighting a battle with H/Pylori found this amazing took 2 pills in morning & 2 before bed, + changed my diet, pain free in 5 days. no need for separate pills as it has everything in one pill worth the extra cost. Will purchase again.
