What I should do about it

You can try relieving your symptoms with a fast and effective treatment from the Gaviscon range. Check out our treatment advisor to find the product that best suits your particular symptoms.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your Health Care Professional.

However, if you find you are repeatedly suffering, it is probably worth trying to establish what triggers your symptoms and making any appropriate lifestyle or dietary changes such as:

• Keep your weight in check.
• Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.
• Take your time eating - chew every mouthful slowly.
• Sit up straight when you eat - not on the sofa if you can help it.
• Loosen clothes or belts that are too tight.
• Don't eat late, or on the run.
• If you are prone to night time symptoms prop yourself up slightly with a couple of pillows.
• Avoid spicy, acidic and fatty food.
• Cut down on alcohol, caffeine and fizzy drinks.
• Let very hot drinks cool slightly before drinking them.
• Don't smoke.
• Relax - stress can cause digestive slow down.

If you continue to suffer regularly (e.g. on a weekly basis) you should consult your Health Care Professional..
