Jarrow Formulas D-Limonene, Stimulates Phase I and Phase II Detoxifying Enzyme Systems As Well As The Overall Immune System*,1000 MG, 60 Softgels

These capsules work just as well as everyone says! I have been taking them for about two weeks once daily after dinner, and only had acid reflux a couple times the first two to three days. I had been taking prilosec two tablets twice daily on an empty stomach (a prescription dose) just to survive the previous month or so and by now have almost already weaned completely off. I also drastically cut out NSAIDS and started taking licorice root (Nature's Way) and concentrated aloe vera gel (NOW) to help heal my esophagus and my GI tract, but the D-limonene is what worked first that allowed me to make all these other changes. Except for the first day or two there were no weird "orange burps" even though I still have regular burps they are not orange flavored and not reflux. These things are truly magic and saved my sanity and ability to sleep through the night without tasting or inhaling food and acid. Right now I still have to be a little careful what I eat, but it is improving already. Amazing! Don't be scared by a couple of bad reviews where people didn't swallow the capsule all the wlay - it is a large soft gel but a full glass of water should be sufficient. Pretty much everyone is either helped or cured with the D-limonene is my impression. Highly recommended at least to try - you won't be dissappointed!! I can't emphasize this enough how much this has changed my health and even if you have to keep taking them, they are inexpensive and there are no harmful side effects like there are with antacids!Edit: sometimes I still have an episode of reflux occasionally even on this regimen, and all I do is take one of these an extra time and it solves it - no antacids needed! I plan to take these once daily in the evenings for the foreseeable future - I don't think they are always a cure but break the cycle of the reflux irritating the esophagus and causing more reflux, and I'm still off prilosec! I believe that I have some serious underlying disease process to deal with, which I suspect is intestinal hyperpermeability, also known as "leaky gut", and so my situation may be a little more complex than many.Edit: my experience a couple months in is consistent with what I have written. There are many other interventions I have taken and many other supplements I take directly for my GI issues. I have written longer reviews on Nature's Way Licorice Root (non-DGL), NOW Aloe Vera concentrated gel caps, NOW Slippery Elm, and Jarrow L-glutamine, all of which I am using to help treat my intestinal hyperpermeability, i.e."leaky gut". Licorice, Aloe, Slippery Elm, and Marshmallow root all help treat acid reflux directly, also, as well as helping heal the esophagus and the digestive tract, in case anyone needs more help. I also take Hyperbiotics probiotics, which significantly reduced the reflux all on their own before I knew about the D-limonene. Finally, I take digestive enzymes right after I eat, including broad spectrum enzymes by Dr. Best, and NOW Betaine Hcl which helps resolve GERD by acting to increase stomach acid (same idea as swallowing lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) and especially helps digest high protein meals (reverses all the damage of suppressing it with all those antacids that don't work and just cause more damage and maldigestion and malabsorption - you need stomach acid to properly digest your food! - sounds counterintuitive but Google GERD and low stomach acid and you will get lots of info). Again, my situation is complex and it normally takes many months to heal "leaky gut" so I simply wanted to first of all share the other supplements that have and are helping me, and second tell you not to get discouraged if D-limonene is not a cure-all if you have a more complex situation. MANY folks get complete cure and remission from the D-limonene, and many folks find that it secondarily resolves issues in the rest of the GI tract as well, such as IBS, by breaking the cycle of irritation and inflammation. Highly RECOMMEND TRY IT!! If "ALL"l it does is replaces your antacids that is a HUGE SUCCESS STORY!!

D-Limonene helped cure my heartburn/reflux!!After almost 20 years of using acid reducers with my heartburn getting worse and developing into GERD, nothing was working for me. After a lot of research on my part, I learned that most heartburn is not caused by too much acid, but by not enough acid. Also as we age our body may not produce enough digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes help in the digestion process by helping break down the food and move it through the stomach. Without enough acid and enzymes, your food may just sit in your stomach and basically rot, potentially causing many health problems which may include heartburn, gerd, malabsorbtion of vitamins and minerals, leaky gut and many other terrible things.When I say I had heartburn and gerd I mean I had a very serious problem. Heartburn everyday, all day long. At night I would reflux so bad that I could never sleep because of the burning. The reflux sometimes caused me to breathe acid into my lungs which would lead to coughing and gasping for air. I also had gastritis and leaky gut. I ended up in the ER with an ulcer. Doctors kept giving me more useless pills which were causing more and more problems. Because of the acid reducers I was not absorbing nutrients. I had body inflamation and fatigue non-stop. I was told I had CFS. I was in a horrible downward spiral. Your digestion system is the biggest part of your immune system, please take care of it and learn the truth about acid reducers.These are the things I do and I no longer have heartburn, no longer have gerd, no longer have gastritis, and am working on the leaky gut and other things as they take time to heal. I can eat and drink anything I want (except cola) whenever I want as long as I do these things, and as my stomach has improved I do not need to do some of these things as often.1. Everyday I either drink Apple Cidar Vinegar, Organic Raw Unflavored 32oz or fresh squeezed lemon juice. 1 tbls vinegar in 8 oz warm water or half to a whole lemon in 12 oz warm water. 1 -3x's daily.2. With every meal I take Betaine Hydrochloride With Pepsin 600mg 250 Tablets 1-2 tablets per meal depending on the amount of protein in the meal. I also use American Health: Chewable Super Papaya Enzyme Plus, 360 tabs with every meal.3. I stopped drinking cola pop which contains phosphoric acid and switched to a lemon lime pop and drink more water. Research about phosphoric acid and how it competes with your stomach acid and what it does to your stomach.4.Everyday after my biggest meal of the day I took one Jarrow Formulas D-Limonene, 1000mg, 60-Soft Gels and no more problems at night or while I sleep. Now I take one only every few days. Make sure to take this with a full glass of water so that it gets down fully into your stomach.When I first began I also took Now Food L-glutamine powder mixed with water 1x day, and also drank Now Foods Slippery Elm Powder, 4-Ounce made into a tea with water and honey a few times a day. Both of these things are also soothing and will help.I had an extreme case and you may not need all of these things. Please research for yourself and be your own health advocate.

These are massive pills, and tend to make me sick to my stomach even after following a full meal. However I do believe it has helped my stomach, so as for how it works I give it a worth it thumbs up.
