RefluxRaft Acid Reflux Alginate Therapy, Berry Burst, 10 oz Tube, 2 Pack

This was recommended to me and it has become my go to. It addresses the breakthrough reflux issues. The taste is good. I’ve had no side effects from it. I was thrilled they changed to the tube which makes dispensing it much easier. The texture is smooth. You will definitely use this again and again.

My 65-year-old mother has had a persistent cough for the last four years that comes and goes. Over the last six months, her cough had gotten significantly worse to the point where she could not sleep at night, causing her to feel more ill. Within that six month period, she was overseas for three of those months. The overseas doctors did multiple chest xrays and didn't see anything particularly wrong with her, but prescribed her antibiotics twice in that 3 month period. After finally coming back home, mom's cough got better for a week and a half. We thought the environment was causing her cough to become worse. However, after the week and a half passed, the cough returned with a vengeance. She was now coughing so much, so loud, and so hard that none of us in our apartment were getting any rest throughout the days or nights, so fed up, I took her to City MD, where she had an xray done, appeared to have some scarring on her lungs, was diagnosed with pneumonia and referred to a pulmanologist. She was put on a mix of two different antibiotics, bringing her up to being prescribed and take a whopping 4 different antibiotics within a four month timespan. With the antibiotics from CityMD, she was also told to take SafeTussin as a cough suppressant. SafeTussin and the antibiotics worked for a week, during which time we visited a pulmanologist, who agreed with CityMD's diagnosis after reviewing the xrays. Within a few days, mom's cough came back, again. She was coughing so hard that it looked like she was choking. She now had shortness of breath with the cough. Her throat was raw from the coughing and her mouth was blistered. Within 10 days, we returned to the pulmanologist, did another xray, and were so frustrated because nothing seemed to help. Finally, the pulmanologist started asking questions about whether mom feels heartburn (no), if she feels acid reflux (very often), if she coughs a lot (obviously), if her voice is hoarse throughout the day (usually when she wakes), and a series of other questions. The diagnosis of pneumonia was changed and she was diagnosed with LPR, told to change her diet, get a wedge pillow, and take her omeprazole more consistently (she was really bad about that last one). All of that was done and her cough still was not easing up. We were told that it would take a while for the cough to go away, but mom and I were both at our wits end with the lack of sleep. I did some research on what helps with LPR and came across that Alginate really helps but forming a barrier over the stomach acid. Then I came across this product and read the ingredients list, which looked relatively clean. I bought the melatonin version first because it has the fastest delivery and God knows she needed the sleep that would come with it. The first night she took two teaspoons and SLEPT for two hours straight without coughing!!! The next day, I ordered the regular non-melatonin version of RefluxRaft. She started taking it after her meals, and her coughing decreased significantly more. She kept up this routine of taking omeprazole before her morning meal, taking RefluxRaft after her meals, taking RefluxRaft (melatonin) about two hours before bed and thank God, Within two weeks, her cough was almost fully gone. One thing I will say, if you have a bad cough, the lemon/ginger flavor might aggravate it. With LPR, it is best to avoid citrus flavors because they will aggravate the cough more. Mom has been using the berry flavor. Thankfully, her diabetes has not suffered any negative side effects by RefluxRaft. If you stayed towards the end of this review, I hope it provided you with some helpful information! I'll leave this same review on the other RefluxRaft product I purchased for mom.

Realized acid reflux has been creeping up into my throat and ears! This was recommended by an ER nurse that I know. 3 teaspoons before bedtime seems to do the trick for me (2 wasn't enough). No more burning throat and no more bad taste in my mouth. My ears are doing better too, but have suffered quite a bit of damage. Was even dx with ear eczema, when I think it was a reflux burn all along. Had this issue for 6 years! Not drinking coffee anymore and no more evening glass of red wine. All my guilty pleasures are not worth the reflux burn. Had given those things up, but still experiencing the burn at 3 am. This RAFT put the cap on that and I am starting to feel like a new person.

Reflux Raft is amazing! It really helps with LPR. I take it right after meals. It's a bit expensive, but worth the relief it provides. I don't mind the taste at all. Good product and I have it on recurring shipment.

This product does help acid reflux somewhat. It is not a cure. The flavor is pleasant and it does not need to be refrigerated so it it easy to take with you.

I have experienced a great reduction in the mucus and “ahem” sensation since starting this product. I’ve had this problem for more than 10 years so it will take a while for it to be gone. Couldn’t be any happier for relief finally.

Works for me as promised, and tastes good, too

I tried this and it worked somewhat. I bought a new package and afterwards realized it wasn't working as great as I thought. I wish I could return my unopened box of it.
