Same as Pamela said. Many years ago a doctor quickly concluded i had acid reflux and prescribed meds i never took after reading side effects. To this day any time i have issues i pop a few dgl’s and that’s the end of it.

Does just regular licorice help as well? Or is there something specific about this brand etc?

Just noting that here we are, taking care of our own health care with advice from people we can trust, ignoring the sick care mega business completely.

Have been watching noir films from the 1940's, where doctors are almost universally distrusted as snake oil salesmen. So we're full circle.

Separately, this woman makes a terrible and true point on where we are with the child genital mutilation industry. My daughter in law's place of work has been completely upended by just a handful of these confused screechers: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSLUjnW2J/

She makes a great point that sometimes we care more about how we’re viewed as parents , than how we actually are as parents. Very sad that kids ultimately pay the price.

That was very telling how those parents have to live with what they allowed forever & their misery gets spewed onto others when they realize what a horrendous error in their judgement they made. Its all so mind-blowing. So mucked up!
