What if you could eat out, lie flat & sleep through the night again?
Discover how ordinary people are leaving behind antacids and the daily pills they dreaded being stuck on for good
“I can finally sleep lying flat for the first time in months”
You Have Done Everything They Told You To...
It rarely starts as anything serious.
A burning after dinner, a broken night's sleep, something you blame on a heavy meal.
So you do what you are told.
You cut the obvious foods, then reach for the antacids, then something stronger when those stop touching it.
And somewhere along the way, one year became ten, then fifteen.
Now there is a tablet you take every single day, and a real unease about what would happen if you ever stopped.
You have learned to sleep propped up on pillows.
You have learned which side to lie on, and how many hours before bed you dare eat.
Some nights you still wake in the dark with that rising sensation in your throat.
But, here is the part that wears you down most.
You have done everything right. You are strict. You do not cheat.
And still it is there every evening, waiting.
So you start to believe this is simply how it is now.
That you are stuck with it, and stuck on the tablets, for good.
But what if nothing has fixed it because the thing everyone keeps treating was never the real problem?
Fifteen Years Of Blocking Acid, And Nobody Looked At The Pressure Pushing It Up
For years, reflux has been treated as a simple equation.
"Too much acid, so block the acid."
It is the logic behind every antacid and every tablet on the shelf.
And for a lot of people, it is aimed at the wrong thing.
Because most people with reflux do not actually make too much acid.
They make a perfectly normal amount.
The trouble is where that acid ends up.
There is a valve at the top of your stomach whose only job is to keep it down where it belongs.
Reflux is what happens when that valve opens at the wrong moment, and your own stomach contents travel back up into a place that has no lining to protect it.
That is the burn you feel.
Your own stomach contents, in the wrong place, rather than anything on your plate.
So the real question was never how to neutralise the acid.
It is why that valve keeps opening.
And the answer catches most people off guard.
That Same Valve Is Your Body's Pressure Release
When the stomach is stretched and full of gas, it opens to let some of that pressure off, and acid slips up with it.
So what fills the stomach with gas and pressure in the first place?
It comes down to your gut.
When the balance of bacteria in your gut is off, food ferments badly and gives off far more gas than it should.
That gas builds pressure, the pressure leans on the valve, and the valve gives way.
It is why reflux and an unsettled gut so often go together.
And why a growing body of research shows that settling the gut can ease reflux for some people.
Which puts the whole thing in a different light.
The acid is the smoke...
...Your gut is the fire
Two approaches to the same burn. Only one of them is aimed at the cause.
Acid blockers turn the smoke down, and on a bad night that is a real relief.
But they were never designed to put out the fire.
That is why so many people feel they have been stuck on them for years.
Look after the gut, and for the first time you are working on the thing actually causing it.
So why is looking after your gut so hard?
Looking after your gut should be the simplest thing in the world.
It is not, and that is not an accident.
Most of the food we are sold is designed to be overeaten.
Ultra-processed food is engineered for the moment it hits your tongue, then stripped of the fibre and variety the bacteria in your gut depend on.
Pumped full of flavourings, preservatives and synthetic chemicals we're unable to pronounce - these foods wreak havoc on the delicate microbiome of the gut.
It is made for shelf life, for profit, and convenience.
Not for the health of the person who actually eats it.
So if your gut has been struggling for years, it was never a matter of willpower alone.
You have been swimming against a current built to wear it down.
None of this was your fault.
But it does point to the way out.
If a gut can be worn down by food made for profit, it can be rebuilt by food made to do the opposite.
So what can happen when someone finally gives their gut what it has been missing?

Taking their lives back,
in their own words
"Wow this product has given me my life back and that's no exaggeration... over 20 years of suffering gone. I'd forgotten how normal feels."
"For 15 years I suffered from acid reflux... I was taking Omeprazole to cope. About 6 months ago I decided enough was enough, withdrew from Omeprazole... Nearly all my symptoms have disappeared."
"I too have been taking PPI's for 18 years (Lansoprazole)... I've not taken a Lansoprazole for 10 days, and so far so good."
"I have been on omeprazole for 25 years... 10 days in and I have not had an omeprazole for 7 days, sleeping a lot better."
"I had been on omeprazole forever and tried many times to come off it with no success... I finally understood the painful acid rebound effect... I think I can finally admit that I will never take tablets for indigestion and acid reflux again."
"I have been taking Pantoprazole for over 10 years to help stop dangerous changes in my lower oesophagus... a massive reduction in reflux symptoms. I've now reduced my reliance on Pantoprazole."

Frequently asked questions
Isn't it acidic? Won't that make my reflux worse? +
Like most fermented foods, Tibico is mildly acidic, but it is not aimed at the acid in the first place. It is aimed at the gut underneath, where the gas and pressure start. Many long-term reflux sufferers drink it every day. Start with a small glass on an empty stomach and let your own gut be the judge.
Will it taste vinegary? +
No. It is fruity, sharp, and a little tangy - the honest signature of a real live ferment, but it is not vinegar. Lactic acid has a smoother taste and there is no added sugar hiding it. A lot of people come to prefer it for exactly that reason.
How long until I notice anything? +
Everyone's gut is different. Some people notice a change within days, for most it is a few weeks of one glass a day. Give it a fair month before you judge, and let your own gut tell you.
Can I take it alongside my medication? +
Tibico is a food, not a medicine, and it sits alongside a normal diet. But never stop or change prescribed medication without talking to your doctor first.
Do I need much fridge space? +
To help control Tibico's fermentation process, after delivery it must be kept cold at 4-6 degrees Celsius. If not kept at this temperature, the fermentation will continue slowly, producing more C02 gas. Should you not have enough fridge space, try to keep as cool as possible in an outside building or in the summer a bucket of cold water or cool box.
