It just seems to neutralize things nicely. I'm amazed at the difference. I don't abuse it. It works very well for me to allow me to have a little coffee every day. Those who use it, love it. Yet, wouldn't you know it...most doctors have never heard of it. Go figure!
Hope this gets you to the Amazon reviews...many are taking it for burning bladder...a few down is someone taking it to drink coffee

Yes I can see the reviews from that link, thank you.
Don't worry, I don't take Tums. It isn't even distributed where I live. I just thought of Tums when you mentioned Prelief was calcium-based, and you didn't know how it worked.
I doubt Prelief is sold here, but it is helpful to know that an antacid might make the difference, so that I can eventually add some coffee back. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE coffee! I'll ask at the pharmacy about the active ingredient in it, per your recommendation.
For now, I'll continue with tea as long as I can, hopefully until things are controlled. I will be trying to reduce my now escalated tea consumption, also.
Do you drink much tea? If so do you find it bothers you the way coffee does? Because if it is just about the caffeine for you, a cup of tea might prevent your headache as well as a half cup of coffee. I've read that tea is not as bothersome as coffee for GERD, and that seems to be the case for me.
