"Count me as a rarity, I used this product in the middle of a GERD attack, 10 minutes later I was covered in a rash, by morning, it was hives and vomiting, ended up in ER in anaphylactic shock. It was reversed, had to take steroids for 5 days. I never knew, yes it's rare, but it can happen."

Titralac Plus (calcium carbonate / simethicone) "I've taken Titralac Plus for years for heartburn, usually after garlic or foods with onions. I think it's magic, relief is immediate! Unfortunately, most of the major drug chains no longer carry this product which is better than all the others they have on their shelves."
