Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I suffer from GERD and after hearing the negative side effects from taking PPI's I was thrilled to find that Slippery Elm helped acid reflux and GERD. I bought it at a grocery store to try it and it helped immediately. The instructions say to take 4 capsules 3 times a day but I only take one first thing in the morning and one before bed. If I need to, I take one in the afternoon. With research I found that it could interfere with the absorption of medication so it should not be taken within two hours of taking medication. The bottle does not say this so just be aware. I ordered some for my mom too and she stopped the PPI's after taking them for 3 years. She does not have heartburn any more as long as she takes the slippery elm. She takes three a day, one in the morning, one at lunch and one at night. For both of us, this has been like a miracle pill. My life is back to normal, only occasional heartburn or acid reflux now because slippery elm stimulates the nerve endings in your stomach to produce the mucous necessary to protect it from the acid that is also produced. Whenever I get that burning or painful feeling I take one and in 10 minutes I have relief. I can pretty much eat what I want, but I know I may have to take an extra one if I eat spicy food or drink a Diet Coke. It's truly amazing! Research for yourself before taking for your own peace of mind.
