Andrews Salts

I have been using Andrews Liver Salts for as long as I can remember. I remember finding it in my mum and dads bathroom cabinet and thinking " I wonder what this tastes like". I had stomach ache and really wanted to see if it worked. All you need to do is pour yourself a glass of cold water, then add 1 or 2 teaspoons of liver salts to the glass and wait for it to dissolve. Give it a quick stir and watch it fizz. This is called Effervescence, drink ...
...I like the taste of it, even though it's a bit powdery, I still find it a refreshing drink, I've had a lot nastier drinks. My stomach ache went within 30 minutes and I felt a lot better. If I get heartburn or Indigestion, I just have a drink of Liver Salts and it gets to work very quickly. It's also good for Biliousness and constipation. If it's used for constipation, you have to up the dosage, you are then better taking two teaspoonfuls or more ...

Review of Andrews Salts

Andrews Salts is an old fashioned ‘digestive discomfort’ remedy I always have in the house. It comes in a small blue and white tin and is full of fine white powder that would probably get you arrested if you were to bag it up and take it through customs. There are up to 20 doses in this 113g tin. UPDATE: 11/03/01 - I've just seen the new packaging in Boots. It is now in a neat plastic oval shaped jar (still blue and white), with a free ...
...may also be needed as Andrews concentrates on the stomach problems). For the above symptoms, add one level teaspoon to a small glass of water and stir. The mixture will effervesce and you should drink it quickly to obtain maximum benefit from the fizzing (as I find a good burping session always helps). The bubbles tickle your nose and tongue and I think this is what puts a lot of people off. The liquid tastes slightly lemony, but I find it to be ...

Review of Andrews Salts

...sleeping but one dose of Andrews will calm it down. Also, sometimes if I've had a really fatty meal close to bedtime, I'l wake up in the early hours, with a massive bloated stomach, on the verge of being sick. I really really hate being sick and I'l do anything to avoid it. After tossing and turning for ages, sweating and scared to be sick, I always eventually manage to hobble downstairs, barely holding it in, then make myself a dose of Andrews. ...
...and I feel on the verge of being sick, the dose takes a bit longer to work but it relieves the stress and allows me to relax in bed, burping away. It's a god send and if like me, you don't like to be sick and you can handle the taste without gagging, then you will love this product. The only problem I find with it is that if it is left in a cupboard for more than a few months, the powder starts to clump together in lumps and it becomes almost impossible ...

Review of Andrews Salts

...with the product and Original Andrews Salts on it in blue. I vaguely remember them being called liver salts, although not sure what that had to do with anything & why the name was dropped. The free measuring spoon is a good idea though, it means no running around for a spoon, and also makes it more easily transported. Upon opening the jar, you find a white powder with a similar look to flour. It has no smell at all. The instructions on how to ...
...over indulgence take 1 5ml spoonful, and for constipation, to take 2 5ml spoonfuls. It is suitable for ages up to 12, as half dose, but not suitable for children under 3. Now the important bit, the taste. I was very disappointed. The drink seems flatter and tasteless, almost like drinking flat sparkling spring water. It also did very little for my stomach ache, although really it is unfair to comment at this stage, as it turned out to be nerves ...

Review of Andrews Salts

...always keep a tin of Andrews Salts in my bathroom cupboard for such an occasion, because one thing you can be certain of when all your friends say, "I told you so" you can always rely on Andrews to be your friend in your hour of need. So what are Andrews Salts? Andrews are made by Glaxo-SmithKline-Beechams, based on an old anti-indigestion remedy. It is available from chemists and large super markets and comes in a very distinctive blue and white ...
...Other Information Andrews Salts are best stored below 25 degrees C and should be kept away from strong odours. The product is not suitable for children under 3 years of age, but children over this age can be given a half dose. The active ingredients are Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Sulphate.

Review of Andrews Salts

I've been using Andrews for years to great effect. But, like another reviewer, my wife finds it makes her vomit - and I've known a few other women for which Andrews produced the same result. So, is this just a female thing? Or do some men react badly to Andrews also? ...

Review of Andrews Salts

Andrews Salts are sold to relieve stomach dicomfort and constipation. They come in a little blue, oval shaped, plastic container and looks like fine white powder. You get a free measuring spoon with it. You just put a level teaspoon full into a glass of water and it fizzes up. Then you drink it and it helps release trapped wind and get rid of that bloated feeling. I think it tastes really foul and don't find it 'sparkling and refreshing'. At least ...
...this stuff. I drink it and it won't stay in my stomach long enough to do anything. As soon as I have swallowed it I start vomitting. There must be something very harsh in the ingredients to cause this reaction. I have heard other people say that they have the same problem. So, if this works for you, great, but if it makes you vomit or gives you severe stomach pain, don't use it as it's not for you. ...
