I understand your concern. Many patients with GERD rely on antacids, but regular use often causes constipation, which explains your current problem. Antacids also give only temporary relief and do not treat the root cause.
For mild symptoms, it is better to use famotidine instead of frequent antacids. For more persistent GERD, proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole, etc.) are more effective in the long run.
Ayurveda can support GERD management, but only when combined with proper diet and lifestyle changes – not just by taking one tablet.
