My Gallbadder has been giving me grief for months on end. Everything I ate gave me Gallbadder attacks. I’d be crying from the pain using hot water bottles to help with the pain. Slippery elm has saved my life literally. I have no pain anymore I can eat what I want and live my best normal life again !

Please if you are reading this and you are wondering if you should try it. Give it a go it will make a massive difference but still see your doctor if you are still concerned. You will be amazed at the results slippery elm has given me a better quality of life.Read More Read Less

I took this for bloating. It helped but it made me very anxious.

Amazing for IBS stomach acid but disappointed because it’s caused anxiety instead of helping it

I use for all G.I. Conditions from sore throat to diarrhoea. For gastritis i mix it with extra virgin olive oil and I get immediate and lasting relief. For diarrhea I mix with water only as olive oil is a laxative. I have used it as a mouthwash for sore gums and ulcers. Its a great all-round soothing anti-imflammatory. It does have a mild diuretic effect so take his into account. I use powder and not capsules.

My son was having bad pimples on his shoulders for a while and I had to deal with it. Made a paste from SEB and put it on his skin, shoulder, face and cover with bandaid. We did it only 4 times and his shoulders are clean. I used for my self for different skin problems as well, one time for dryness and UTI caused by PM. Now, I am using for Gerd in form of teas.

Taking for gerd it’s the only thing that makes my throat feel normal, ppis don’t work I’m using hcl tablets now and that with slippery elm works well also drinking cabbage juice !!

I've had GERD. After a course of PPIs (omeprazole) my MD down-titrated my dose and segued into Pepcid x 4 weeks (20 mg every morning, 10 at night). She recommended slippery elm tea with meals, during the pepcid phase. Then after off pepcid, slippery elm caps along with a few other supps. Gerd is gone baby gone! Slippery elm was an essential part of this process. I still use it to support GI health. Used Nature's Way Slippery Elm Bark capsules (4 caps three times daily)

Slippery elm is a miracle. When I tell you this helped me so much I’m not kidding if you have pain in your gut or even problems with anxiety slippery elm is it. I’ve had problems with my gut for along time and have tried everything and nothing worked but this I’ve been taking it for 3 days so far and it is wonderful I’ve feel so much better.. I open 2 capsules and mix with warm water in the morning on an empty stomach and repeat again around 5pm.. if your having trouble with your gut or digestion try this you will not be disappointed..Read More Read Less

I have been taking 1 teaspoon of slippery elm in a cup of warm water every day for about 1 month I was diagnosed with weak bones and I am 70 and it took me for ever it seems to get going in the morning. Now, I am so thankful and ready to go every morning and I will keep taking it. I have a friend that could not unpack due to the severe pain in her hip as she moved out west. After my recommendation to take slippery elm; she phoned me and announced to me I unpacked everything . I give it an excellent result but also do your research to know and to be wise in taking other medication at different times. Read More Read Less

A nurse friend of mine told me to make a salve with slippery elm and rub on ganglion cyst and it was gone within three weeks.

The caused first dose I took (half teaspoon) caused anaphylactic shock, and felt ill for days afterwards. So not harmless for everyone.

I had a very severe response to an antibiotic, causing excess stomach acid. The result was constant coughing, vomiting (caused by the coughing) and damage to my oesophagus. A health practitioner recommended Slippery Elm Bark from BioCare. I have been taking it for two weeks and the symptoms (which had lasted for weeks after I stopped the antibiotics) have completely gone. I noticed the effect immediately. It’s rare for me to write any review, this product was so effective that I had to write about it.Read More Read Less

Used for many years for sore throat. Faster and more soothing than sore throat lozenge. Used only as tea.

calming inflammation of esophagus due to Barrett's and GERD

Helped the condition I was treating. Took 2 capsules a day and caused moderate bloating, gas and increased urination. Side effects are too much for me.

I've got ulcerative colitis and tried slippery elm for optimal digestive health. I tried 1 capsule a day for three days. Might be just a coincidence, but I had abdominal pain & diarrhea from the first day and ended up with a full-blown flare-up by day 3 with excessive mucus production and so much inflammation that nothing would pass through my large intestine. Never again. This might be helpful for someone with intermittent problems, but it didn't work for me even though I hadn't had a flare-up for about 1 1/2 years.Read More Read Less

Taking for GERD & EOE This has worked wonders for me! I had constant burning in my stomach and esophagus. PPI's were not working and I didn't want to use steroids so decided to try slippery elm. So glad I did! It has helped me in such a short amount of time. Water aggravates my GERD so I mix it in almond milk 3 times a day. It's truly been a life saver!

Someone commented that you can only get Slippery Elm, in Powder form. I still get the lozenges at a health food store.

I've been using this for more than 10 years to temper IBS flare-up - it works, is a life saver & is wonderful!!
