Helped my bloating and cramps a LOT. Will continue to tweek the amount; doctor told me to take 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner. I found that I got some heartburn with that much, so only taking 1 a day now. Start slow. I definitely recommend - have been on Nexium for 7 years and this is helping me more. Still take 1 nexium a day and now TDGard. Love that it's organic! Buying on eBay is less expensive than either costco or amazon. EBay is where I always look first for the best buys.

The product contains menthol. One mechanism of action of FDgard through its menthol component is that menthol binds to the kappa-opioid receptors in the brain. These receptors have to do with consciousness---hence, muscle relaxation. When I took the recommended dose----2 in AM, 2 in PM---I suffered scary consquences when I woke during the night. I felt off balance, my throat felt odd, I had wet the bed (!), and I felt like I had been drugged. When I researched the menthol component (WebMD, etc,) I discovered why the menthol had this effect. I reduced the dose to 1 per night; over a few weeks my GERD worsened (likely due to the muscle-relaxation of the FDgard's menthol). Stopped the FDgard; GERD symptoms 100% relieved. Use this with caution. In addition, it did little to improve my symptoms; the only advantage was no (albeit rare) stomach cramping and it helped me sleep soundly through the night due to the menthol binding to my brain's kappa-opioid receptors. FDgard should have side-effect warnings included! (Note: I am a molecular biologist with decades of biomedical research experience.)Read full review

I started taking FDgard, as directed by my physician. A great product to keep on the shelf, for that occasional stomach discomfort.

FD Guard is not a panacea,butit sort of works most of the time. I find taking itabout 45minutes prior to eating works the best. The package came well prepared for mailing, and was inexcellentshape. The expiration date was a year out. FDG is expensive, but this price was tolerable.
