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

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."
