Worse thing I get is the acid coming up while I'm asleep waking me and struggling to breath due to it being caught at the back of my throat. Thankfully that's not happened for quite a while now. Not quite the same but I also have problems with nuts and some seeds, coconut in particular. That plays havoc with my digestion.
Holland and Barrett may be worth a look too, they often have buy one get another for 1p. May as well get it for the best price possible, especially when it's £15 or so a pot. Like you say though well worth it if it keeps you well.

They think the GORD triggers the muscles surrounding the oesophagus to go into spasm and therefore the oesophagus tightens and narrows.
I wish the honey was that cheap! The one I have got from Holland and Barrett is the high 30/35+ and that sets you back around £40/£50 a pot!
By the way, kudos to your Mrs chap, what she does along with all the other health workers is remarkable. My brother worked for NHS direct before it became 101 and I know he used to have to take some horrific calls.

I'm also taking something called 'slippery elm food'. Apparently it's been taken for centuries and is good for helping heal and line your stomach.
