Next time you have acid reflux, try black licorice. Yes, the extract in black licorice is called glizzyrizin, which has demulcent properties, which will not only absorb the acid but also heal the lining of the esophagus. Try Panda Brand black licorice, or if you want tablets, go to the nearest health food store and buy (DGL) deglizyrizinated licorice, and chew 2 tablets before each meal. You will have relief in minutes.
