I don’t see how this is legal, but people on Tik Tok peddling miracle “medicine” are becoming more common every day. No FDA approval, no research. Just their marketing hype and false promises. This one, lady is showing some sort of probiotic and claiming it can help people suffering from severe acid reflux and gastrointestinal reflux disease or GERD, replacing medicine that has been tested for decades.
Here’s hoping they stick this time. I’m so sorry to hear, long ago one of my now ex-girlfriends was dealing with it. She would have to go to the hospital and get GI cocktails and I would stay awake with her and try to help her not panic because the GI cocktail numbed everything in your throat and she wouldn’t be able to feel herself breathing. As someone who has lots of panic about breathing issues, I totally understood why it would be panic inducing to not be able to feel yourself breathe, and this seemed like the only thing anyone was able to do for her when it got really bad. Just a shitty choice, take the GI cocktail and get relief but also panic, or don’t take it and feel like you’re choking on your own vomit. So , fuck it just sucks so much. I really hope for the best for you.
Thanks. Thankfully, mine isn’t that bad yet but it’s been getting worse over the years. Hopefully, the meds help push the curve of stomach decline past my time on this planet. It’s morbid to think about that way, but I am kind of a realist about that kind of thing.
(I can handle not being a drunk anymore, but I am not giving up my morning coffee. It’s worth any additional suffering.)
