unpopular opinion: reflux is massively overrated

Resolved Clean Column ×8 Slow Clap ×1

I have had 14 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.

Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 16 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.

The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 97.2%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.

Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.

Same experience. Week 42 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

constipation is real, boring, and fixable

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
