Anyone try Gaviscon and find it slows intestines?

Very interesting side effect from the antacid Gaviscon when I tried it for reflux. I found it slowed my intestines and j pouch and I have not had to take Immodium for the last 2 days. Also, it seems like my BMs are less burning. I only took a small amount at bedtime about an hour before. Wondering why this would slow down my transit/ output time. I am going much less than
usual. Will test it again tonight. Any ideas?

Probably the same effect as those who take Prilosec or Pepcid, reducing the acid, and improving pouch function in the process. I would suspect that too much acid would increase inflammation and stimulate the gut.
