First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested two add-on treatments for people with severe GERD who still have symptoms despite taking standard acid-reducing pills (PPIs). One treatment, alginate, comes from seaweed and forms a physical barrier. The other, sucralfate, is an ulcer medicine that coats the stomach. 140 adults took one of the two extra medicines to see which better improved quality of life and reduced symptoms.
