Milk of magnesia. Milk of Magnesia has been around for many a year in fact it was first developed in the early 1800's. I have used milk of magnesia to control the discomfort of indigestion. The reason it is called milk of Magnesia is because it actually looks like milk but by no means tastes like milk. In fact although it is reasonably palatable tasting of peppermint it is not really great tasting at all due to the chalky consistency of the lotion. It does do what it says it will do and that is ease the symptoms of indigestion and helps to get rid of that bloating feeling or excess gas. Basically Milk of Magnesia is magnesium hydroxide and will cost more than ...  Read the complete review

I suffer indigestion quiet a lot. Mostly if I have had a late dinner or something silly for instance a cheese and onion toasty at 11pm. I have had this mirror indigestion problem for a few years since I was pregnant actually. I have tried a few different products such as gaviscon, rennies and milk of magnesia liquid. Milk of magnesia liquid seems the most suitable one for me I prefer it hence I only ever buy it. I buy milk of magnesia liquid from asda as part of my normal shop. The bottle contains 100ml. For this size of bottle it costs £2.99. Milk of magnesia liquid is available from most good pharmacies and supermarkets. Milk of magnesia liquid is ...  Read the complete review

My partner occasionally suffers from heartburn and indigestion issues and has always used Milk of Magnesia to combat these issues. I had always used more up to date methods for such problems in the past and tended to use gaviscon throughout my pregnancy and since. I tend to suffer from digestion issues when I skip dinnertime for some reason, but with a busy schedule this sometimes is unavoidable and so my partner convinced me to try his milk of magnesia as he swears by it. I had always been put off by this product, purely because it just doesn't sound too appealing to me and the packaging makes it look even less appealing. The substance comes ...  Read the complete review

Milk of Magnesia is something I always remember being in the bathroom cupboard when I was younger and is a product which I still use from time to time. I do not particularly suffer from indigestion or stomach upsets but its always useful to have something to hand just incase someone in the house does and Milk of Magnesia is the perfect product for this, reasonably cheap to buy and also very effective.

I suffer fairly regularly from heartburn and indigestion which, I'm sure anyone who suffers from heartburn and indigestion can testify, is very unpleasant, painful and, at times, downright inconvenient. Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Liquid is my saving grace. The liquid comes in a 100 ml bottle which I tend to pick up from Boots for around £2.50 - although sometimes cheaper if I pick it up from my supermarket. Its available from almost any pharmacy or supermarket and so its very accessible at any time of the day and night (which is useful as I find the indigestion usually strikes at the most inconvenient time, like at 4am!). The lid on top of the bottle doubles ...  Read the complete review
