Never mind the taste, this stuff healed my ulcer! Sep 01, 2010
By MrsP
"MrsParrish"
I am not crazy about the licorice taste either but it doesn't matter. It cured my ulcer! I had been taking what the doctor prescribed which was Protonix to block the acid in my stomach. The side effect of Protonix for me was diarrhea. And since I had spent 10 days in the hospital with C Dif colitis a few years back, I didn't want to push my luck with Protonix. Thus, the DGL. And it worked in record time, too. Research this stuff if you have an ulcer. It really does help. My stomach hasn't felt this good in years.

Awesome Supplement for Ulcer Sufferers Dec 16, 2010
By Kerri Elders
I used this supplement as part of my own "ulcer plan" after suffering from stress/medicine-related ulcers [the direct result of surviving (thankfully!) a ruptured appendix].
These lozenges give incredible, instant relief from the burning pain of an active ulcer. I could not have endured any more pain without these; the licorice helps rebuild the integrity of the stomach lining; I would use anywhere from 8-10 per day, 2 at a time, as needed for the burning sensation. Because they are "deglyzzerized" (spelling?), they won't raise blood pressure like regular licorice will.
I bought these because the flavor is much milder than DGL by NOW Foods - Digestive Support (400mg - 100 Lozenges), which are also very effective, but a little too sweet for me.
If you're suffering from an active ulcer, you can find out more about how I conquered mine by visiting my blog, listed on my profile page.
Planetary Herbals DGL have a mild, orangy flavor that's not overpowering. Highly recommended!
P.S. In my experience, it's best to allow these to dissolve slowly in your mouth, rather than quickly chewing. My guess is that the enzymes in your saliva interact with the licorice to help soothe the stomach.
Also, if you have an active ulcer, I learned another tip the hard way--when it starts to burn, quickly drink a large glass of water. You'll be amazed at the instant relief...then get to work dissolving a couple of these lozenges.

2 tablets 20-30 minutes before each meal, 6 tablets a day. Hated the taste at first but it has won me over

Better than Activia Feb 19, 2011
By E. Johnson
"selina"
I was getting pretty bad stomach cramps after eating. I was on heavy-duty meds for a long time and developed a peptic ulcer. I tried Activia yogurt which didn't seem to help. It sometimes made my cramps worse. I make sure I take DGL before each meal and it seems to be working to support and promote a healthy stomach lining.

Good stuff!! Feb 25, 2012
By peeech

Read about this on thepeoplespharmacy.com to treat withdrawal symptoms from the over-the-counter proton punp inhibitors (PPIs). I was taking a well-known, OTC brand of PPIs for a couple of months, would go off it, and the gastric reflux would return. I thought I hadn't taken the PPI long enough, so I'd repeat the cycle. Then started doing some research about the bad effects that some folks experience going off these readily-available OTC drugs. I ran across this product in the URL mentioned. This and straight, unflavored, uncolored Aloe Vera juice from WallyWorld has provided me COMPLETE relief. Recommend both, HIGHLY!
