Does it actually work? I rarely take any form of medication, even paracetamol only get a run out if desperate. A combo of Gaviscon and cider could be the solution I'm looking for.

I’ve found the trick is to take it with the first cider of the day, with plenty of top ups throughout. Waiting till you have heartburn to take one ends up a losing battle.

I suffer terribly with heartburn at the moment.

I'm going to be stashing a rucksack of Gaviscon at one the lock ups this festival I think!

That ain't gonna do the job. Get yourself some Esomeprazole, one a day tablet.

I drank a lot of cider brandy at the bus on the Thursday night in 2005….had to be dragged back to my tent and put to bed! 

Oh that feels familiar. That's a killer!

Cider unfortuately tastes like my own vomit did at age 15 - which was 80% cider - so I cant do it. Ruined it for myself.

A couple of burrow hills always go down well 

And no more for me - lethal stuff as much as I like it. Onto weaker ciders after that point

surely with all the biblical storms you forecast it must get watered down a decent amount to make it palatable 🙂

I didn't drink cider for years after the worst hangover in the history of mankind.

However, mainly because @stuartbert two hats kept going on about it, I tried some of the craft ciders at Green Man last year and they were proper delicious. I think only the mass produced stuff is available at Glastonbury though isn't it?

Is that the same medication used to counteract the stomach issues caused by steroid treatments?

Don't know, I just use this for heartburn. And yeah be proactive with it if you're going on a eating a drinking binge.

If all of the tension over the past couple of days has shown one thing…it’s just how desperately we all NEED to be in those hallowed fields, cider in hand. 🤩

I think 2 years of pent up frustrations have combined with the ridiculous excitement we’re all feeling, then throw in the individual challenges different people are facing and fighting to overcome which none of us will ever really understand because different things affect different people so very differently,  and it really doesn’t take much for things to boil over. 

Life’s too bloody short, and everybody needs a bit of Glasto magic right about now. So here, have a virtual cup of Burrow Hill for now, and I’ll see you at the legendary Cider Bus for a pint of the real thing in just a few short weeks! 🍻 And yes, I am buying. 😉 

 

Thank you ,  perfectly put - thanks for the virtual pint of cider - would you mind if I had a calvados chaser , I’m feeling reckless

Just avoid Brothers which is basically the old sweets from the corner shop (pear drops, cola cubes, pineapple chunks... all of em) melted down into a sickly paste and then cut with industrial alcohol / antifreeze / hand sanitizer

The Cider Bus Cider (Burrow Bridge) is fermented apples.  That is pretty much it

I meant Burrow Hill.  Burrow Bridge is a village on the River Parret.  Possibly the Tone.  Possibly both

Yup omperazole or esomperazole tablets are what you want. Stops excess acid production. Only for temporary festival cider use though. If you’re having heartburn all the time go and see the quack

Yep, same... will give it go every now and then but nope still the same reaction

 

[al_coholic]

I will probably have at least 1 pint of Burrow Hill over the 5 days but not a massive fan. I prefer a cold and fizzy cider but not looking forwards to this mainstream Brothers stuff either. Bring back Thatcher's i say. 

[Gnomicide]

I'm sure many of you know but Burrow Hill orchards were recently featured in the latest Dr Strange film.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Due to be entering the Multiverse of Madness after 4 pints of half and half for breakfast whilst watching Herbie Hancock.

[Euphoricape]

Can't wait to get on the cider, as soon as the tents up I'm straight on it. Will defo see you all at the cider bus!

Really @Neil, you delete the CIDER thread that was full of useful information and was discussing ciders local to the festival and producers that sold it in quantities small enough to take to the festival?  It was a labour of love, mainly contributed to by one of the few regular posters not to join in attacking you over the last couple of days.  I mean, really?

You could have merged it, but now years of insights have been lost.

Was there a particular link that was problematic?  Or just too many?
