Antacids

"Alimentz® will not neutralize your stomach acid, thus Alimentz® allows for your stomach acid to continue digesting food. The stomach acid stays where it belongs, so it can do its work of beginning the digestion process. The gel barrier may last for more than an hour (generally much longer lasting than antacids), and is eventually passed to the intestines and eliminated."
 
Drugs in this Class
Antacids often contain aluminum- or magnesium-containing:

Aluminum Hydroxide (AlternaGEL, Alu-Cap, Alu-Tab, Amphojel, Dialume)

Aluminum Hydroxide Oral Liquid (AlternaGEL Liquid, Amphojel Suspension)

Aluminum and Magnesium Hydroxide (Alamag, Aludrox, Di-Gel, Maalox, Magnalox, Mylanta®

 

 

Aluminum salt may cause constipation, and magnesium salt can lead to diarrhea.
Antacids  are often the first drugs recommended to relieve acid reflux, and heartburn symptoms, such as Maalox, Alka-Seltzer, Tums®, Rolaids®, and Mylanta®. Many brands on the market use different combinations of three basic salts—magnesium, calcium, and aluminum—with hydroxide or bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acid in your stomach.

Testimonies (mouse over to pause)
Toni Schultheiss: "My brother was so troubled with heartburn,that I ordered a bottle of Alimentz® for him. He reported back that not only did the Alimentz® work, but it worked IMMEDIATELY! Thank you for an excellent product! And thank you for creating healing products that help people, not hurt them.."

Bettye Robinson: "Before I started using Alimentz®, I would wake up in the middle of the night from a dead sleep vomiting from my nose and mouth. After I eat I could feel the food still in my throat. It had not digested and it felt very uncomfortable. Sometimes I would be afraid to go to sleep because I knew what would happen. I ordered Alimentz® and the first night I used it I had no problem sleeping. It relieved the pain and burning right away. I use Alimentz® all the time now and as soon as my bottle gets about half full I will make sure to re-order so I won't run out. This is the best product I have ever had and I would recommend it to everyone."  

Dale and Ann Lowery: "The Alimentz® has been real good. My wife was having trouble with her stomach and we swear by these Alimentz®. Everything that she ate hurt her. She didn’t experience acid reflux so much as just the pain. But she’ll take a couple of them and within a few minutes her pain is gone. She just takes the Alimentz® when she starts hurting."  



Tony Mercante: "I've never had a problem since I've been on Alimentz®. When I'm on that, I'm fine. I used to get a 90 day supply of Prilosec free. It's easy to take that way, but I know that purple pill is no good for you. I have been off of the Prilosec for about 3 weeks. I didn't even taper it off. I just stopped the Prilosec that quick. If I take the Alimentz® with each meal and at bedtime, I don't have a problem. If I feel heartburn suddenly coming on, I will take it then too..."
