Planetary Herbals DGL Licorice, 100 Tabs

good

No visible benefits. My health didn’t improve one bit.

Love this stuff . Coffee even decaf gives me a bit of stomach discomfort so this really helps so I can have my morning coffee with breakfast . I always keep it on hand now .

Best thing I’ve tried so far! I tried taking Omeprazole and after three days it stopped working. I don’t want to rely on pills, especially after reading about how bad they are long-term. I want to help heal my gut (although I do suspect I may have a weak LES.) But two days after starting these DGL tablets, I noticed an improvement in symptoms. I normally don’t experience heartburn (I have, but it’s very rare for me). I just get that lump in the throat feeling, and can feel everything moving up and down my throat. Taking 2-3 of these a day reduces my symptoms, and I notice sometimes that I don’t feel anything in my throat at all! I sleep very well at night now and no longer rely on sleeping on my left side (another trick if you suffer from reflux). I’m going to continue taking these every day while also changing my diet. Any improvement in symptoms is a good sign! I don’t know how long it’ll take to get rid of the reflux for good, but this is a good start! WARNING: These taste awful! But I don’t know what kind of DGL brand tastes “good.” Just press down on your nostrils so you can’t taste it while chewing!

Good deal for the money, taste okay and aids with acid reflux. Not the cure, but along with pepzin product and taken before a meal. What it is really good for, along with Slippery Elm, is helping to protect the upper digestive tract from acid burn/irritation/inflamation. Update: I was beginning to get a bad burning spot where the esoph meets the stomach. On advice, I chewed (DGL pills don't work, you need to mix saliva with the tablet before swallowing) 3 with a slippery elm lozenge before each meal. I continue to take 2 Pepzin in the am. Along with Famodidine 2x20mg morning and night, my burn (peptic ulcer) quickly stopped and within 2 weeks no problem, per Endoscopy. I also no longer have any acid reflux. Doc says to stay on this regimen for a month then taper off the Famodidine and DGL to see what happens. Adjust as needed. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Remember that the Pepzin, DGL and Slippery Elm heal your stomach lining. The Famodidine is to reduce the acid. I may never get off it totally no matter what I do with diet, etc, but with the other stuff I won't worry about cancer causing damage to the linings.

The product works, but the taste is so bad. I only just started on them and don’t know how long I can keep it up because of how bad the taste is.

Why don't our doctors tell us about this stuff before all the PPIs? This stuff works GREAT! Taste is not amazing but hey, it's not horrible and it gets the job done!
