Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After a particularly stressful series of events in my life, I found myself with absolutely crushing reflux and stomach pain. I spent quite a bit of money to eventually be diagnosed with erosive esophagitis, gastritis and microscopic colitis (and a perfect gall bladder, go figure); I was given dexilant and effectively told: "you'll never drink coffee again, otherwise good luck to you". Three months of dexilant and a bland diet virtually did nothing for me, and I looked into other options based upon the recommendations of physician scientist studies on alternative medicine for gastritis and GERD. I stumbled on generally positive evidence for DGL, Marshmallow root, melatonin and chamomile. For context, I am a health scientist and have generally been a skeptic of naturopathy, but at this point I was having day-long coughing fits and severe stomach pain if I even smelt a french fry or a cup of coffee. So, I decided to buy this product and stack it with a nightly 3mg melatonin and 2 cups of chamomile tea per day. The results were absolutely stunning. Within a little more than a week or two, I was virtually pain free and no longer woke up with a sore throat. I could return to eating fried foods - in moderation! - and also even drink coffee again - also in tacit moderation! - with only a mimimum of the pain of the gastritis or the reflux I used to feel. I felt these changes within about 10 days of using the product. By the end of the full 1 month course, I could drink a cup of coffee without so much of a thought. Even my colitis had largely resolved. Here are my methods: one DGL capsule in the morning upon waking up, and upon going to bed on an empty stomach. I opened the capsules and mixed the powder into hot water to make a tea to coat my throat, esophagus and stomach lining. I drank one cup of chamomile tea along with the doses of of DGL, and one 3mg dose of melatonin qday at bedtime. I also practiced intermittent fasting, not eating until 12noon, and stopping any eating by 8pm to give my stomach enough time to empty before the bedtime dose. This stuff seriously gave me my life back. I highly, highly recommend it if all else has failed, or even before trying proton pump inhibitors.
