Tum Tums:
Thinking the fruity aspect of these would be helpful with my nausea it turned out to be of a burden. - The 'fruit taste' was pretty non-de-script not to mention pretty weak in taste. It was like sucking on a bit o' chalk, and even if you could do it without wanting to spit it out, one (even two) didn't seem to do much. A bit of a let down to be honest!
Gaviscon liquid (Aniseed):
I went for the Aniseed flavour of this brand due to being a tad tired of mint. The taste was okay, it was just really thick and hard to keep down, also again, sadly I didn't think it did much for my acid reflex or heartburn.
Superdrug 3 in 1 antacid:
These were great, helped with acid reflexes, heartburn and even settled stomach enough to stop sickness for a few hours. They had a strong peppermint taste which didn't seem manufactured. Also the price was really good, I can't recall exactly how much but I think it was just over a pound for a packet of 12. - Just goes to show that highstreet copies are a genuine contender for the 'real thing'
Deflatine:
Supposed to relive trapped wind but was did the same job as the others and was available all over high-street, didn't note it's other 'quality' but a good product all the same. It was pretty much the same as above, just more expensive and not a good as taste.
Peppermint tea:
Didn't notice any real benefits sadly, a shame as I am a big fan of most herbal teas advantages aside. It may be one of those things that differ for different people, although I find drinking any type of boiled water to help slightly in these situations.
