I did reluctantly try Omeprazole ? but on the 2nd day had visual disturbance eg flashing lights and distorted vision so stopped as hospital said it was possible side effect.

I had read an article about it in a magazine a while ago and decided to try it as its supposed to have no side effects. It works by coating all your digestive system and absorbing any irritants. I am one of those people that reads the side effects of medication and has to decide if they would be worse that current problem. Can help prevent symptoms associated with an unhealthy diet, stress and intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Hello Frances....hope you find this useful. As others have indicated, by other readers an endoscopy is much worse than its reputation! Please don't fret it at all. I have not percieved any side-effects at all. The main ingredient is silica, NOT silicon. If you google it you will discover what Louis Pastuer said about this well over 100 years ago. It is produced in Germany, and although I live in Germany, I took a trip to London for me to discover it. Go figure.

Interestingly, I happened to find silicolgel at boots while on holiday in London just 3 weeks ago. It is a Godsend for my IBS. Really. All symptoms, physical and mental have been greatly reduced...I would say by about 70-80%, depending upon who knows what else.IBS is a really arbitrary thing. Not only that, everybody and every body is different. I undewent one and also had one for my stomach and took day off of work each time. After each one I showed up at the office 2 hours later because I felt fine. If using other medications, a two hour interval between dosing is advised before taking GAVINatura and as instructed by your Health Care Professional. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The reason for me trying it is i originally started with acid indigestion where it rises up your throat, this seemed to settle a bit but then i started getting bloating/feeling full after meals. Now it is a sore feeling/discomfort sometimes when i swallow, i can actually feel the food go down. I am constantly burping, which is something i learned to do after having trouble with pains in chest due to trapped wind. I also occasionally get sharp pains between shoulder blades. GAVINatura tablets can be used in combination with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2 antagonists as well as during periods of discontinuation of treatment, as instructed by a Health Care Professional.

Gastroscopy is the most common test to look at your stomach and see if there are any problems. This procedure takes about 15 minutes and should not be painful (although it can be uncomfortable). Your throat will be numbed with a local anaesthetic spray. You can also choose to have a sedative, if you prefer – general anaesthetic is not needed. Do not use in case of hypersensitivity or individual allergy to one or more components. If symptoms persist or worsen it may indicate an underlying medical condition, seek medical advice.

In the case of heartburn and indigestion take one tablet after each main meal and one in the evening before going to bed.
