I have been a sufferer of Silent Acid Reflux for nearly 20 years. I have suffered with hoarseness, laryngitis, and CHRONIC throat clearing that frustrated me as well as anyone in my presence. My throat constantly felt like I had a lump in it, and I was convinced I had throat cancer. No medications or procedures ever gave me complete relief. I have been taking PPI's along with Pepcid for decades. In 2010, I had the Nissen fundoplication procedure, which was supposed to 'fix' my issues. It didn't. The weird part is, I always had trouble accepting the acid reflux diagnosis simply because I NEVER had the burning reflux after eating the way normal sufferers experience with reflux. About 6 months ago, I went onto Cleveland Clinic's website. Great place for information, BTW. I read up on what they had to say about Silent Reflux. They did such a good job explaining. This is the explanation off of their website: Laryngopharyngeal reflux is a lesser-known form of acid reflux in which stomach acid travels ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR THROAT, causing symptoms there. LPR can be the underlying cause of hoarseness, laryngitis, chronic throat clearing and related symptoms. You might not have typical acid reflux symptoms, like heartburn or indigestion. "Laryngopharyngeal (“la-Ring-go-fa-Rin-jee-al”) reflux, or LPR, is a special type of acid reflux. Acid reflux occurs when stomach juices (including acid) rise from your stomach into your esophagus (swallowing tube). Symptoms of acid reflux usually affect your lower esophagus, within your chest. But if you have LPR, the reflux has a habit of creeping higher up, into your larynx (voice box) and pharynx (throat). LPR is also called “extraesophageal” reflux, because the reflux passes beyond your esophagus. This causes different symptoms from typical acid reflux — so different that you might not realize it’s a type of reflux at all. Instead of causing heartburn and indigestion, LPR tends to irritate your voice, throat and sinuses. Because you can have LPR without other reflux symptoms, it’s sometimes called “silent reflux.” It was also on their website that I learned about alginate therapy. Reflux Raft was my second trial choice of alginate therapy. I didn't have good results with another brand I had tried. Like other people have suggested, the taste and the texture leave something to be desired; however, after trying to find relief for almost 20 years, quite frankly I didn't care what it tasted like. I wanted relief. I wanted to be able to sit in a room quietly without clearing my throat every 15 seconds. I just wanted to feel normal again. I bought one bottle to give it a try. At first, the ginger and lemon seemed to irritate my already irritated throat, which I had anticipated. But knowing the healing properties associated with those ingredients, I decided I was going to power through one full bottle and see what happens. Gradually I started feeling relief. Little by little, my throat started to heal. Before I had finished the bottle, I had completely quit clearing my throat. My husband was elated. I was elated. I could cry from thankfulness having found something that has brought me this relief. I have used one bottle a week ever since. Having this suffering come to an end is such a blessing. I am deeply grateful. I hope others can benefit from this post.

So disappointed, but I should have read the one star reviews. I tried it today, and now I’m up at 1am in bed with a bucket so I can catch the vomit without running back to the bathroom. I’m coughing, wheezing, my throat feels tight, and I throw up acid and phlegm from coughing every few minutes. Really looking forward to throwing this stuff away.

I bought in a hurry to replace my Omeprazole , and realized that Liferaft has calcium carbonate in it, which a lot of folks with digestive issues need to limit due to the risk of hypercalcemia. My stupid pancreas — sorry, little guy — stopped making its own enzymes at some point, and one of the things I have to limit is calcium. So I can only take this twice a day, which is probably a good thing bc I’m in danger of eating it all up at once. It’s tasty, ya’ll. It also contains Licorice Root, which interacts with multiple medications— which is unfortunate because it works for tummy issues. It’s difficult to squeeze out of the tube thingy so I keep it upside down in a jar and scoop it out with a tiny spoon. Not arthritis friendly but ways to work around it. Finally, if I didn’t have to avoid Licorice Root, I’d use this much more. The calcium carbonate is necessary for the raft to form, I think, but the licorice root is just an extra for soothing the tum tum. LifeRaft should create a line of products without it, because it really does interact badly with many, many medications unfortunately. The other fancy reflux product on here (reflux gourmet?) looks amazing but contains grapefruit extract, which is an even more well known medication interaction risk, so over the two I’ll pick the licorice and calcium carbonate because I live dangerously. I’m looking at needing a pure alginate product with no bells and whistles. Will keep updating. Fun! PS It’s low in sodium and sugar too. … probably gonna have some right now!

My husband has esophageal reflux and was clearing his throat constantly. After his scope, doctor said he needed a prescription of prilosec which costs over $700! After researching how dangerous those antacids are, we opted to try this. It definitely works! Not a great taste but it is working and his throat clearing is already stopped. Totally worth it! Very effective and natural solution!

Please keep in mind that the following comments are for my personal experience. Your experience may be completely different. I set out to try a bunch of heartburn products on the market. I have a reflux/heartburn condition called Barret’s Esophagus. Over 30 years. Daily omeprazole….so you can imagine how awesome it would be to find other methods to deal with the reflux and heartburn. Certain food items trigger my heartburn and reflux. Eating too late. Fatty smoked foods such as barbecue. Tomato sauces with onions. Spice profiles such as with Indian curries..seems to be an onion/oil/tomato combination. The trick for me is to keep my weight down, eat moderately, avoid greasy foods, pizza, acidic, tomato based, pasta sauces, smoked meats, especially fatty ones. The strong ginger also seemed to be an irritant. I think adding ginger might have been a mistake imho. Update: having a few more opportunities to test the product specifically for the claim of instant relief for heartburn, I was unable to experience any relief. Does nothing for my reflux or heartburn. The company did kindly send me a message offering to provide a full refund for the purchase. Which I really appreciate and respect. They stand behind their product and issued a refund to me.
