Jonathan, I recently had an attack (very rare for me these days) of acid, burning, etc, and CS worked to stop the pain. I thought about taking some probiotic, or antacid, but decided to try CS first.........it really did work. I have fewer ideas than you about why this would be so. As you say, it is interesting though. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan B. Britten" <[email protected]>
