I cut off of it and found that the effect lasted for a week or more, and I started just taking it once a week, and I've been fine ever since.
I've got gas in my stomach somewhat frequently...
Have I got a solution for you!
Nah, if your stomach is acidic enough you can feel it. I finally caved and got a plush incline so that gravity keeps the bile down regardless of which side I sleep on, and I still usually favor sleeping on my left due to habits from before.
