Along with Nat Phos, hubby and I find this remedy to be very helpful in combating GI issues during herbal detoxing or just acid indigestion (which I brought on myself by drinking a whole glass of grapefruit juice right after a cup of coffee, lol). I will caution, however, not to use the alcohol option if you have a history of alcohol abuse or just don't tolerate it for some reason. Hubby is a recovered alcoholic, and it really didn't work for him to deal with the alcohol. I also found it overwhelming, as I've never been able to tolerate alcohol well, even at very low doses. I wanted to avoid the sugary pills that are standard in homeopathic meds, but the alcohol was overwhelming, so I'm back to the pills.
