Hi,
No, Gaviscon does not have any antihistaminic component in it.
The alluminium hydroxide and the Magnesium chloride it contains are antacids and do not have any inherent property of antihistaminics.
Need not worry, you take Gaviscon for the GERD you have .This will not interfere with the allergy testing you will go for.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
