User Reviews for slippery elm

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!!

Uses for treatment of any mucus infection, yeast infections. After treatment, I visit the doctor to make sure that yeast infection no longer exists.

Tried slippery elm for sore throat. It seemed to had immediate soothing effects in tea form. It also seemed to make me nod in and out of sleep all day. My achiness from flu is all gone and sore throat is much better! Tastes like maple with black pepper. I like it so far.

MD diagnosed me with vaginal yeast infection. I treated myself with a vaginal douce of slippery elm. Also, I soaked tampons with Slippery Elm. Two weeks later wen to doctor, no signs of infection.

I had 8 children and from the time they were 4 or 5 when they had sore throats I would give them one of the slippery elm tablets and have them suck on it. It even helped when they had strep throat. I still use it myself these days.
