Please look on the web for Manuka Honey with a UMF of 16 or more. The best is from New Zealand. My experience was Acid reflux, flatulance and very bloated. I was tested for an Ulcer, positive for H pylori. All acid reflux and ulcer drugs, triple therepy antibiotics, etc. cause severe side effects, and do not cause the problem to stay away for more than a month at a time. Taking Manuka Honey four times a day, a half an hour before each meal and once before bed, has totally rid my acid reflux, and all other symtoms. Plus, it kill the bacteria that start the process. I am very happy, please read up on this product yourself, and get informed.
