Matys Acid & Indigestion Relief Capsules, Safe Antacid Alternative for Occasional Acid Reflux & Heartburn, Made with Apple Cider Vinegar, Soy & Gluten Free Vegetarian Capsules, 60 Count, 30 Servings

This stuff was amazing. It worked wonderfully. Chewables were preferred. But now product is unobtainable???!!! And I am disappointed.

I have had chronic heartburn for over a year. I've taken every OTC drug for it from Pepcid to Pepto, Nexium 24 to Prilosec...brand name and generic versions of each. I've used Tums, Rolaids, and Peppermint essential oil to ease the burn. I've tried milk, and baking soda water. I've tried the sleep at an angle, don't lay down for 2 hours after eating, don't eat too late, don't wear tight clothes mumbo-jumbo my Doctor told me about. At most, these have worked for short times or haven't helped at all.I was at my wits end when I turned to Amazon for some kind of relief that I hadn't tried. I found Maty's All Natural Acid Indigestion Relief and thought "well, this is a little more than I want to spend, but what the hell, let's give it a try." It fell in a mid range price, and seemed to have decent reviews... so I clicked the button and added it to my cart.Within a day or so the bottle had arrived, and to be honest, I was excited. I was torn between taking it proactively and popping a pill right then and there, or waiting for a flare-up and then taking a pill. I opted for the later, as I fear my body growing immune to it and having it not work. Anywho... when my next episode occurred a day or so later, I took my first pill. Now... I wasnt in the full fledged back of the throat is on fire, let's just cut it out stage of my flare-up; but more in the burping up bile stage. (You know what I am talking about).When I opened the bottle, I was a little surprised at the size of the pill. These pills aren't for pill-popping-pansies. They are fairly large pills (you might want to think twice about buying this product if you have a hard time swallowing pills). Anyway, I took the pill and to be honest...shortly after I took it, I felt like it was lingering in my throat. So I decided to read the instructions (yeah, a little late, I know... but dont judge me) and it says to take the pill with 6 to 8 oz. of water. That's different than my general quick swig of water to flush the pills down. I went back to my cup and proceeded to drink my remaining 7.5 oz. of water. Sure enough, problem solved and that feeling of the pill being stuck went away.Time for results. So normally, I take my antacid wait a few, feel the flare up again, pop a couple tums, wait a few, pop a couple more and then hope for sleep (most of my bouts of heartburn are at night when I go to bed or they wake me from my beauty sleep). But with this pill, I simply took it, chilled sitting up for a few (cause you arent supposed to be laying down during a flare-up) and within a few minutes I felt good enough to lay down.... and the vicious demon heartburn was kept at bay for the rest of my night. It was A-MA-ZING.If you have tried everything else with little to no relief, then it's definitly time to give Maty's a try. I highly doubt you'll be dissatisfied with the results.PS.... not I have not been paid or coerced into writing this review.... I'm just a woman happy to be getting sleep again.

To start, I’m 22 years old and have been suffering from severe acid reflux for most of my life. No matter what I ate, I would always get horrible heartburn that would send searing pain in my back, chest, and stomach.I have been taking prescription omeprazole for the last 4-5 years or so, and I know that it isn’t good to take long term, so my main goal was to find a different solution that would not hurt me in the long run. I just got this product yesterday, and it has provided me immediate relief. I would have horrible bouts of reflux at night time, sometimes staying up all night because I get so uncomfortable. I took 2 when i immediately got it, 2 before dinner, and 2 when I started to feel a bout coming on later at night, and it provided me relief in about 15-20 minutes and I was able to sleep!Now, I know that it sounds like I’m taking a lot at first, but I’m hoping that once my body is adjusted to the ingredients in the product, I’ll be able to cut down on how much I take. I’m really satisfied so far that I already bought another bottle!I’m hoping this isn’t a fluke, so I will update this review in about a month or so.ETA: it’s been many months since I’ve had this, and I don’t nearly have as many episodes as I did before. Whenever I feel symptoms come on (usually at night) I’ll pop one or two and sit up for about 15-30min and feel relief. Sometimes I still have bad days, but this has hugely helped!

I miss this product! It was the best on the market. Please bring it back!

Unfortunately these arent working for me. I tried them daily for about 2 weeks but did not see much relief from reflux symptoms. I have a less common kind of reflux called LPR that doesn't always show classic "heartburn" symptoms. I've tried every kind of PPI and H2 blocker along with antacids like Mylanta or Gaviscon. They give me a measure of relief so I can function without chest pain and congestion or excessive throat clearing BUT I am not comfortable with the side effects or long term use dangers especially with PPIs. So I wanted to find something natural without the harmful effects and based on other reviewers who had good results I thought I'd give Matys a try. At 2 weeks, I cant say they're helping as much as the prescription drugs. I had really hoped this would replace Nexium but it doesn't. It might work for others though. Its not that expensive to at least try. I didn't feel any unpleasant side effects while taking these. It just didn't control my type of reflux as well as the prescriptions. I'm working on a healthy lifestyle and diet, lost 25lbs and hope with continued weight loss, I wont need the pills anymore. Mayne once I lose more weight, I'll try these pills again. For now, they're going in the medicine cabinet. Also, like other reviewers said, it's a larger pill and does require a full glass of water to wash it down.
