It's called the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). I had to look it up...couldn't remember the name of it either. Mints actually cause the LES to relax which in turn may cause heartburn. Fun fact for the day...

A general, cheap multi enzyme formula might help. They sell a lot of individual enzymes, but just buying a combination of the different enzymes typically costs about the same. It should cost less than $10. I love it though...whenever I get bloated from eating too much, it speeds up the digestion. And I sleep better at night if I take one of the capsules because I always eat before bed.

i wonder if they have 'em at walmart pharmacy.

Aha....
 

Please don't tell anyone that I have an eroded sphincter... lol

Ok... I'll shut up now.

What enzyme product do you typically use, Ross?

Haha I just looked at CVS, Rite Aid, & WalMart...couldn't find anything. There has to be another store somewhere that has them...

i had looked at that gnc one before you posted....i wonder what milk products it contains?

I wonder also.
