User Reviews for mastic

I had my gallbladder removed then had h.pylori,have IBS,I take the Mastic Gum by Jarrow.I heard Dr.Oz mention this company & a lot of great reviews.I also take L-Glutamine & anything fermented like apple cider in a drink.And no side effects,the best thing I have done.

I had been suffering with severe gastritis... went for endoscopy and 2 months of treatment with no relief. I was anxious and becoming depressed. I started taking 1000mg of Mastic gum twice a day and within 48 hours I got incredible relief! Within a week I felt great!! My gastro doc never heard of it but gave his blessings to take it! To me... itâ??s a miracle!!

I had been on high doses of acid reflux RXs and wanted off. I started taking 500 mastic gum every morning and night, and successfully weaned off of the RXs. So thankful for this supplement!

Despites all resources and comments, Mastic Gum caused GERD to me after 2 months of taking it. You can find star reviews about it on iherb. Treatment with herbs is undocumented and unsupported by science. Dont do it yourself.

I really recommend help me with heartburn.

I took 3 X 45=135 capsules of 500mg (two at a time, early morning at 4:00 a.m. to allow act 3-4 hours before the breakfast) for H Pylori. It was effective after the first 90 capsule. No unpleasant reaction.

Had acid reflux and bad taste in my mouth. All cleared quickly and effectively. Good product

i was experiencing acid reflux, gnawing stomach pain, lots of gas pain. I started taking mastic gum and probiotics and have had almost full relief of my symptoms after a month of consistent use. It felt it started to work within a few days of use. I am so glad i found this.

If you are worried about side effects, be more worried about PPI prescriptions. I too have GERD and have had two acute episodes with H pylori. The triple therapy was so bad and for women is actually a quadruple therapy, add Monistat to the list. I decided to start researching alternatives, (and I am no health nut). I now use Mastica Chios capsules, one a day or less, and manuka honey. I rarely have any GERD problems unless I am really bad and have chocolate and wine at night (oops) and my stomach is doing just fine as well with no reoccurence of the H pylori. Read More Read Less

I am very grateful that nature provided mastic gum for us. It helped my so much with my GI problems. I did have HPilori and was treated with antibiotic therapy but still had heartburn, pain, burping. I feel so much better now. I take 500 mg in am and 500 mg in pm. I will reduce it to 500 mg daily after 2 month.

I have used this to eliminate my Gerd problems. I have also used this to treat my 11 year with H. Pylori since the horrible side effects of the 3 antibiotics depleted her completely. We are now both on a daily maintenance of 1 pill a day each. Wish I had known about mastic before I had my gallbladder removed. I truly believe mastic gum would have relieved my symptoms because removing my gall bladder did not....

Didn't want to take round after round of antibiotic. Decided to try this. Within a few days the full feeling and discomfort was gone. Did notice if I eat sugar each day for longer than a week, the bacteria returns and I have to take more mastic. Also supplement probiotics mixed in yogurt helps.

Took antibiotics 3 times for H-Pylori didn't work used this as directed and cured.

I was diagnosed with Pylori bacteria and started taking the capsule for a month went back for a recheck and stomach was clear from the bacteria. So whenever I have any discomfort I chew the gum.

I was trying to wean off acid reducing medication after years of use, but having a lot of acid reflux. Majestic gum, used as directed, relieved the problem very quickly.

Have had a bit of a bad tummy for a while now....wind, rummbles, cramps, burping, acid reflux....Bought some capsuals and within a few days all symptoms settled down and nearly gone......I take x2 capsuals in the evening after dinner.
