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.
