Prelief Tablets Dietary Supplements 60 Ea sku445783

Took me a long time to find something that worked in curving my reactions to acidic drinks and foods. I was skeptical, though this product got so many good reviews. I suppose it depends on your level of acid sensitivity and how frequently and efficiently you take this product.I react to just about everything acidic from low ph water, to most juices, to most tangy fruits, tomatoes and tomato sauce, to coffee, and anything else with caffeine, any kind of carbonated beverage. We're talking urinary burning (sometimes bleeding), vaginal pain, pelvic floor soreness, etc.Put this stuff to the test with nearly everything that messes me up just to see how effective it was. There was a lot at stake cause I could be on bed rest for two weeks if this didn't go right. First thing I ate was a pizza with extra tomato sauce and tomatoes on top (oh yeah, I went all out). The bottle says take two with the food or beverage and add more if needed. I went ahead and popped three just for good measure before taking my first bite of pizza. I ate about five slices. No reaction that night, or the next morning, or ever for that matter. Beginner's luck, I'll push it. So I went for a tall glass of OJ (popped three pills), omelet with salsa on top (still on the same three pills), and a nice acidic coffee full of caffeine. Then for lunch I had a buzzy caffeinated heart-palpating carbonated energy drink with a hot spicy sandwich of some sort (two pills), and for dinner I had more left over pizza (three pills). No dramatic issues. I felt a slight awareness of oncoming vaginal soreness later on that night, but I drank some good alkaline water, and took a few vitamin A supplements and the feeling was gone the next morning. So I've come to the conclusion that this does NOT mean eat whatever the hell you want all day every day because the pills do seem to have their limits. If your body is sensitive to acid, this is not an infinite way out (you probably shouldn't load up on acids anyway even if you dont have sensitivities, just sayin'). It is a very effective way to have a cheat meal or drink without any of your normal repercussions. I still stay away from acidic stuff. I'll treat myself to it once a week or once every two weeks - or keep the pills with me in case I find myself with friends eating a meal that I had no say in. So instead of saying, "Shit, you know I can't have that. There's nothing else to eat, so I'll just drink water and watch you guys eat" I can say, "No no, I'm not supposed to have that, but it's all good - I got my Prelief. Yeah, it's fine, no problem."Anywho, after a terribly long-winded review, I make my close saying. Do your own experiment, find out what works for you and continue to eat your IC conscious diet. It's better for you anyways. But when you do slip up or wanna cheat, this stuff works.

While I need it for bladder flareups bc it's supposed to quell acidic foods, it has for sure done a bang up job on stomach burn! Works better than antacids. I read that it breaks down the acid in the food eaten and doesn't work on quelling stomach acid. However it works, it works. No stomach burn but still don't know if it is working to give bladder relief.

I can't believe how much this helped me with overactive bladder. I get to sleep through the night without having to get up to pee every 2 hours. Finally some relief - and get to still occasionally enjoy some of the good things in life (coffee, chocolate, wine) with this supplement

As a new IC sufferer, I was sick and desperate to reintroduce some of my favorite foods back into my diet. When I started to feel a little better after about 5 weeks, I bought Prelief (and low acid coffee) here at amazon, hoping that I could enjoy my tropical vacation without starving myself or experiencing the horrible symptoms that accompany IC. With Prelief, I was cautious, but I was able to enjoy champagne and rum drinks, a little bit of red/tomato sauce and a few other goodies. This product is awesome! As for the coffee, it was pretty good, but after more than a month off the stuff, I didn't feel that I needed it anymore and may just consider myself to be a reformed coffee addict :) For the record, this seems to be the best price, too. I will buy it forever - thanks, Prelief!

I, like many others, purchased this product because I have interstitial cystitis (IC). At least one doctor has suggested I should use it before every meal, especially during flare-ups. Mostly, my strategy for acidic foods and drinks is to avoid them by eliminating them from my diet. I use this product as it is advertised to occasionally indulge in a once favorite food or drink which otherwise IC would keep me from even the thought of partaking in, because no one enjoys being confined to their bed in pain for many days, weeks, or months. The price would quite simply be too high to pay. The product works admirably. Prelief works so admirably and IC itself is so dastardly that it takes me many days to believe that no pain will be forthcoming, to acknowledge just how well this product has worked. Getting the chart from the manufacturer helps even more because without it the consumer is trying to guess whether to take one, two, or three tablets and again the penalty for guessing wrong is high. Also some consumers without the chart are taking more tablets than needed in order to avoid the gamble of guessing. I gave this product four stars only partly for not more prominently disclosing the availability of the chart. The second reason I give the product four stars and not five is if acidic foods are causing damage to the bladders of us who are afflicted with IC then it does not seem likely that Prelief is stopping or reversing that damage, and it is most certainly not stopping the cause of the damage nor healing damage nor does it claim to do so, Prelief is simply stopping the symptom of pain. Pain is there to warn us something is wrong. I am not suggesting we go on suffering or that Prelief do something it makes no claim to do. I am saying perhaps there should be a warning given or in the absence of a warning issued by say Prelief, we should ourselves be aware and make our doctors aware that by stopping the pain so that we can enjoy some or all acidic foods or drinks we may be allowing ourselves to go on causing further damage to our bladders and may be worsening our condition for the sake of a short time gain. I would like more studies to be done exploring this concern, so I use Prelief as sparingly as I can in the meantime. I do think it has a place, because as we have seen with people dieting, restrictions tend to backfire. I am quite confident that should studies ever confirm no further damage is occurring while I am taking Prelief and if every bottle of Prelief came with the offer of the chart if the consumer does not have one yet or needs a replacement, then I could give Prelief a five star rating.
