Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I found this brand of DGL through my work colleague when I was having a terrible attack of GERD. She had been advised to take it by her physician when she was having a bleeding ulcer, in order to help repair some of the damage. I thought she was crazy, but I was in so much pain I would've tried anything. To my shock and disbelief, my pain was gone in 10 minutes! As soon as I got home I hopped on Amazon and bought my own bottle. It's been my constant companion for the last 12 months, I NEVER leave home without it, that is until now. Somebody decided it would be a good idea to change the formula. Why are companies always trying to fix what isn't broken?? I have ALWAYS hated the taste of licorice, so when my colleague offered it to me, I offered her a kind but firm, "NO THANKS!" She said it was really good and didn't taste like licorice at all, so I tried it, and she was right. No taste of licorice. But now, they've changed the formula to a new and IMPROVED formula ... BLECH!!! They are smaller than before, and it tastes like they took ALL of the flavoring out of it. I immediately called Amazon and told them I wanted to return it. They kindly refunded my money with no questions asked. Now what am I going to do to treat my stomach pain?? Guess I'll have to try another brand. Before the formula change, this would have been a 5 star review (10 if it were possible). Please go back to the old formula and stop trying to improve on near perfection. And let me know if and when you do. I will be a lifelong customer ....
