Prelief Acid Reducer Caplets Dietary Supplement, 300 Count (Pack of 2)

Must have for people with IC

I have interstitial cystitis and this product allows me to live a normal life. I find that I have to take more than the recommended two tablets for more acidic foods, but once you find the right dose, it really works. For example, I take up to 5 pills for foods like coffee and salsa. Before starting prelief, I couldn't tolerate any alcohol, but now I can drink up to two alcoholic beverages using prelief. I'm so thankful to the makers of this product for giving me my life back! I definitely recommend prelief to anyone who has trouble with acidic foods

See you in Hades, restrictive diet!

Have IC? Want to eat all the acid you dang well please? Here's your answer. I love Prelief and it's changed my life. Well, my diet restrictions anyway. If you're in full flare, this may not calm anything. It's preventative, not a cure, but I'm so happy that I can have my precious, precious caffeine and all the salsa I want again. *Edit, 2 years later: I still use this daily and although I still have IC flares occasionally, the cause is no longer diet related. Prelief has actually made me forget that I have IC most of the time. My personal case is considered severe, with complications resulting from also having even more severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. My RA flares do cause IC flares 2-4x/year and those are the only times that I have to do anything about my IC. I was previously getting bladder instillations 15-18x annually. One less major medical treatment to worry about in my life is priceless! I'm very skeptical and have a special hate for snake oil salesmen targeting desperate sufferers, but this remedy is legitimately helpful and has actually improved my life

Life changing :)

I was diagnosed with Intersticial Cyctitius at 18 (over 10 years ago). I suffer greatly if I eat or drink anything acidic or with a hit of spice- sometimes I would be bedridden practically for a month or more. I took a chance with preleif, as everything else I tried just seemed to make my conditions worse, and the botox in the bladder surgery only covered up the pain but didn't help the problem. Well, Preleif is something I carry everywhere with me now. Sometimes I take it just if I feel like I have a stressful day (with food of coarse). Since taking Preleif, I have gone nearly 2 years without any significant flare up. I will mention that I have removed most of the problem foods from my diet as well, but now I am able to at least eat my husbands amazing cooking and food with flavor! I probably am only using tablets 5-8 a day, and I know the pain I would be in if I didn't have Preleif. Preleif has literally changed my life for the better and I will never be without it. Best stuff ever

Prelief works wonders!

I was diagnosed with IC back in 2012 which was the beginning of a very bland diet. No spices, nothing acidic, no alcohol, no caffeine, etc. For nearly two years the ONLY thing I could drink was water or occasionally a very weak cup of tea. My urologist recommended Prelief and I'm slowly starting to reintroduce various foods/beverages back into my diet with fantastic results. THANK YOU PRELIEF!!

Great product for reducing acid in food-drink.

It has allowed me to eat foods containing to much acid. I would definitely recommend it to help reduce the acid in foods and drinks. I have taken it for many years

If you have IC, you need to try Prelief.

If you have interstitial cystitis, you need to know about Prelief. Definitely helps me. I noticed it is made of calcium of some sort. I am not a chemist, so don't know much about different kinds of calcium. But, I think there are cheaper sources of calcium. I take fibercon tablets for IBS, which are calcium based, and much cheaper than Prelief. I think they help my IC as well. That being said Prelief is a great product

I, too, have had bladder and urgency issues for years. I thought I was going to have to go through some sort of medical intervention. Several years ago, I came upon Prelief after researching the web. It definitely made my life easier. The pills are easy to take (whenever needed) and there are no side effects

Great Product; but know what you are taking

Works well - I use it when eating acidy foods - helps to prevent acid stomach and reflux. I am very reactive to most medications/herbs, etc... so I only take a half of a Prelief with my foods that are acidy. I do use Ranitidine(generic for Zantac(h2 inhibitor)), however I take many hours before of after having used Prelief which I only take when eating. It does give me a bit of constipation. Be sure to read about what medications that must not be used with Prelief; abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine, Tivicay (dolutegravir) Triumeq (abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine) proton pump inhibiters(Prilosec, etc..), antacids(Tums, etc..) H2 inhibitors(Zantac), may also impact Calcium Channel Blockers and Calcium supplements, some Oral Quinolones, Tetracyclines(and many other other antibiotics). Prelief side effects by likelihood and severity: The following side effects are associated with Prelief: Common side effects of Prelief: Taste Problems Less Severe Infrequent side effects of Prelief: Incomplete or Infrequent Bowel Movements Less Severe Rare side effects of Prelief: Alkalosis Severe, Impacted Stool Severe, Kidney Stone Severe, Swollen Ankles or Feet Severe, Please keep in mind this is a perfectly safe and effective "supplement", but taking more is not better, and you must always be aware that anything you ingest, apply, inhale, etc... has an impact on you, and always speak with your pharmacist about the potential issues with medications and any "supplement". I will continue to use Prelief, but always safely. Know what you are putting in your body. http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/calcium-glycerophosphate,prelief-index.html?filter=2&generic_only= http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-77426/prelief-oral/details/list-interaction-medicatio
