Is using sodium alginate supplements safe for managing acid reflux long-term?

[mosararty]

I’ve had acid reflux for years and it’s starting to drive me nuts, especially at night. Saw some chatter about sodium alginate supplements and how they help with the burn, but I’m nervous about using them long-term. I’m not big on meds, tried all the lifestyle hacks, but nothing really sticks. Any of you had luck with these supplements over many months? Like, are there side effects or stuff I should worry about if I take sodium alginate every day? Would really appreciate any advice or personal stories, I’m getting desperate for something that actually works for the long haul!
