I have a love for food. I love trying new foods, new restaurants, and new recipes often. Food is always like an adventure to me, whether I’m eating out or creating something in the kitchen. The problem is, not all foods are so kind to me. In fact, some of the best foods give me major heartburn. It can be to the point where I can feel the heartburn coming on as I’m still eating! And if I go to bed soon after consumption, I wake up feeling the worst. I have to immediately get up, rummage through my medicine cabinet, and find something that will provide some relief. Currently, I have found a new product to treat my heartburn and it’s actually something that just melts in your mouth! Keep reading to find out what it is and why I like it so much…
My Story
As a kid, I remember being able to eat whatever I wanted without any issues. I didn’t have to avoid certain foods or prepare to treat heartburn symptoms after enjoying a good meal. Man, those were the days.
After high school is when food started to really affect me. My friend and I were taking college classes together and going out to eat a lot. When you have a full menu in front of you, it’s hard to pass up the good stuff, so I ordered things that made my taste buds excited, not considering the consequences. After indulging in rich, heavy, decadent foods, I was not feeling my best at all. After eating, we usually planned to shop at our favorite stores in order to work off our food. Retail therapy just wasn’t enough to keep my heartburn issues away, which made our time a little less enjoyable.
Over the years, the symptoms have worsened, causing me to cut fun outings short so I can get home, take something, and try to feel better. Sometimes I can even just look at certain foods and almost feel the heartburn that would come with it. Luckily, I have come across a better solution that allows me to keep eating what I want and not have to end my adventures so quickly.
What I Now Use to Treat my Heartburn
During my hunt for a good heartburn treatment, I came across the new Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablet (also known as ODT), which can be found at Rite Aid. Omeprazole ODT provides 24-hour relief from heartburn and is meant for those who suffer frequent heartburn, occurring 2 or more days a week. It works like the Omeprazole tablet that is currently offered, but in the form of an easy-to-take dissolving tablet instead! There’s no need for a glass of water to take with it; it dissolves on your tongue easily and provides a pleasant strawberry flavor. It’s important to take note that some people may feel relief in the first 24 hours of taking the tablet, however, it may take 1-4 days for the full effect.
The recommended dosage says to take 1 dose every 24 hours for 14 days. You should not take Omeprazole ODT for more than 14 days or more frequently than every 4 months unless directed by your doctor.
I love that it’s easy to take with me, anywhere I go. I don’t have to worry about how I’ll feel if I eat something that usually doesn’t agree with me. I don’t mind taking it daily because it has a good taste and easily melts in my mouth. It’s such a better solution to treat my heartburn than what I was used to before. Most importantly, my love for food and adventure can continue!

**Disclaimer: Use as directed for 14 days to treat frequent heartburn (occurring 2 or more days a week). May take 1-4 days for full effect. Not intended for immediate relief.
