Advice
A balanced diet, slow mastication, the elimination of foods that are difficult to digest and alcoholic beverages can often alleviate the symptoms due to acid reflux or stomach inflammation.
If you are a smoker, continued smoking is a major barrier to treatment; nicotine increases stomach acid and reduces the effectiveness of the muscle that closes the junction between the esophagus and stomach.

As with all medicines and confectionery containing non-absorbable sugars(sorbitol, maltitol, etc.), diarrhoea may occur in the event of a large intake.
