Heartburn is so incredibly annoying. Anyone who has experienced this ailment knows what I am talking about. I had never had acid reflux until I was pregnant with my first child. When pregnant, I suffered from heartburn during the entire third trimester. Ugh!
It’s as if that triggered something within my body. Since having my second child, I have heartburn every month when my hormones are the craziest. I also experience it after eating Mexican food, which is so frustrating because I love Mexican food. All heartburn sufferers have different triggers, but no matter the trigger, acid reflux is disgusting, uncomfortable, and painful.
At first, to get some relief, I was purchasing a rather expensive prescription suggested by my doctor. With diligence and commitment, I took that little pill at the same time every day, but to no real avail. I tried some over-the-counter brands, and again, no relief.
When Moms Meet asked me to review Gutsy Chewy Supplements, I was like, “Yes, please”! I’ll try anything to help this horrendous burning in my chest. The Gutsy Chewy slogan is:
For that queasy, uneasy, refluxy feeling.™
Go from gutburn and gubloat to gutgood with Gutsy.™
Before trying this product, the most intriguing aspect was that Gutsy Chewy Supplements are all natural, lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. As much as possible, I try to live organic, green, and preservative-free. It’s not always possible, but when I can find a product that’s healthy for my body and does the job, I’m all about it!
Gutsy Chewy products were created by Dr. Doug Haghighi, a Harvard trained dentist and Cleveland clinic trained gastroenterologist. After hearing many, many anecdotal stories from his patients regarding home remedies for heartburn/acid reflux, he decided to create a product using these ingredients. Gutsy Chewy supplements are made with papaya, apple cider vinegar, licorice root, xylitol (a natural, plant-based sugar), calcium, and magnesium. Several university studies confirmed that Gutsy Chewy products work.
I have been using Gutsy Chewy supplements for a month now, and I am telling you, they work so much better than the prescription medication I was taking last year. Sometimes the heartburn goes away completely, and other times, the burn lessens to the point where I don’t notice it. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me for a healthy, natural product to win out over products containing fake and possibly harmful ingredients.
If you are a heartburn sufferer like me and have had little luck with prescription and over-the-counter brands, try Gutsy Chewy supplements. It’s definitely worth a try!

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I get heartburn all the time now. I guess it’s just part of getting older because I have never had it before, but it stinks. I should try these.
Debbie Denny says
I am on prescription, but these sound good and I will check it out.
Marina says
I would get horrible heartburn while I was pregnant with my 3rd. Wish I’d known about this then.
susannabarbee says
These would be great for pregnant women! I didn’t know about them then either. I just suffered through it.
Adrienne says
I don’t have heartburn but love that there is a natural supplement for it. Thanks for sharing!
Virginia Higgins says
I love that Gutsy Chewy Supplements are natural and vegan friendly. Will have to keep them in mind for the occasional heartburn.
susannabarbee says
That’s exactly why I love them so much! It makes me so happy when our bodies can work with nature to rid any discomfort.
Clancy Cash Harrison MS, RD, LDN says
Sounds like they can be helpful.
Chelsea says
Heartburn is terrible!! Such an uncomfortable feeling. These chews sound great.
Kayla @ TheEclecticElement says
I’m lucky that I haven’t really had heartburn before. Maybe once or twice and at the time I had no idea what it was! It is quite uncomfortable though so it’s nice to see some natural products out there to help!
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says
Pinning for when my friends are pregnant are facing mega heartburn. I took an OTC pill daily!
susannabarbee says
I hope it helps them out. Heartburn is so darn yucky!
Kelley Johnsen says
I have never had a problem with heart burn, put I like that this is a more natural solution if the occasion ever occurs. I’ll have to let my aunt know about them. Thanks.
Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says
I love that it’s all of those “free”s. So important these days for everything we ingest. Also, I love your hair!
susannabarbee says
Than you, Krystyn! Sometimes I like my wavy hair, and other times, it drives me crazy. And yes, I love all the “frees” too!
Janell Poulette says
I hate heartburn. I haven’t had it much since I was pregnant but I will remember this for the future. I love that it’s all natural.
Krystal says
These look pretty cool. I would be interested in taking them.
Theresa says
I do get heartburn occasionally. This sounds like a great product to keep tucked in my purse, especially since we eat out often and that’s when I tend to get that heartburn flare.
susannabarbee says
Yes, that’s exactly what I do! It’s always nice to have it there if heartburn flares up.
Jeanine @ sixtimemommy.com says
Heartburn and AR are terrible. I got it during all 6 of my pregnancies and my husband suffers terribly from heartburn. Nothing works :/ maybe time to hunt these down!
susannabarbee says
It’s definitely worth a shot! Poor guy.
Pam says
This product sounds like it might be just what my husband needs. He suffers from heartburn and acid reflux. It is worth giving it a try.
susannabarbee says
Yes, it’s definitely worth a try. I hope it helps him out!
Rosey says
Cranberry juice is my thing that gives me heartburn. And I love cranberry juice!
Carly from The Puzzled Palate says
I had horrid heartburn when I was pregnant- both times. I ate TUMS like they were candy- bleck!
Pauline Cabrera says
Heartburn can really be annoying and having medications or natural remedies on hand is very much welcome.
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
I get the occasional heartburn but not very often. I had it ALL the TIME when I was pregnant though. Ugh! It’d still be nice to have something like this on hand for when it does come up. Now, my brother in law spends a fortune on OTC heartburn medicine cause he takes it daily. I’ll have to tell him about this and send him the link! Thanks!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
I haven’t heard of these before. The only time I ever got heartburn with any regularity was when I was pregnant. I always had a bottle of otc pills with me that fixed it up.
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick says
It’s great to see so many natural ingredients. How does it taste?
susannabarbee says
They are quite tasty, actually. They sort of have the texture of Tums, but with more flavor. Not bad at all.
Chasing Joy says
Heartburn is the worst. I have never heard of it being tied to hormones. That is really interesting. I am going to share this posr with my Sister-in-Law who has been suffering.
StacieinAtlanta says
Ug…heartburn is the worst. I haven’t tried these, but I’d be willing if they work well.
Brett Martin (@brettbmartin) says
i never had heartburn until i was pregnant the first time. i’ve had it ever since 🙁
Two Chics And A Blog (@TwoChicsBlog) says
I don’t get heartburn often but when I do it’s bad. I need to check out this product!
Ashley says
OOH, I MUST find some of these! My stomach and I have been fighting lately.
Christina S says
These sound like exactly what I needed while pregnant this time around.
casavilorainteriors says
I can’t do chewy anything. I prefer ones that I can swallow and just forget it
Dina Demarest (@dinade) says
Heartburn is the worst. The chalky drugs make it worse. I’d like to try the gutsy chews.
Shell says
My husband gets terrible heartburn. I’ll have to look for these!
Autumn says
Gutsy Chewy supplements sound like a terrific alternative to those expensive, chemical-laden pills. I suffered from heartburn for a long time – I finally had a surgery to help. I’ll pass this info along to other friends and family members that too suffer from heartburn.
cam | bibs and baubles says
I get heartburn every now and then. Sounds like this is better than the alternative solutions! That chalky taste is gross!
Katherine G from La La Land Mommy says
I would totally try these. I don’t get heartburn but if I did i would try these.
