User Reviews for slippery elm

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.

slippery elm by mouth is NOT used to produce an abortion. Please get your facts straight - many years ago shards of the bark were inserted into the vagina to procure abortions and this is why Slippery elm is only available in powder form nowadays.

Have had IBS for 13 yrs and try anything that claims to help me for this. I was hopeful at first, but it seems I'm back to square one. Very disappointed.

I believe this is easing my IBS symptoms and making it easier to pass stool.

Works wonders for my nighttime heart palpitations! The only way I can sleep. (Nature's Way, Premium Herbal Slippery Elm Bark capsules)

Tremendous help for me. I don't have official diagnosis, but have IBS symptoms, including diarrhea, constipation, gas,and horrible cramps, that last for hours. I take a teaspoon of slippery elm powder with green tea every day in late morning. The results are amazing!

Have used it for severe ulcerative colitis and secondary arthritis in my knees and have found it soothing & healing even while in a flare up. Also put it in smoothies (no fruit...too acidic).Used in conjunction with L glutamine and probiotics very gentle on the system.

Works instantly for heartburn. Very happy with this!

Mouth sores after radiation/chemo are painful. I make a past with a small amount of organic slippery elm powder place inside my cheek, tongue or anywhere that presents with sores. It works.

I am a Kindergarten teacher, who has vocal nodules (so not fun) a family friend gave me Slippery Elm in powder form. I was hoarse for 3 days then I took it mixed with hot water and honey and my voice was restored. Praise the Lord!

I take the organic powder form (celebration Herbals) 1 teaspoon made into tea by boiling for a few minutes in a mug of water. I found this amazingly effective, I don't even need to take it regularly, just when I feel a bout of IBS coming on. It stops the pain and bloating within a couple of hours, and the IBS does not tend to come back for weeks after! It even helped me shake of a cold without the accompanying chest infections I have been prone to recently. I feel so much better generally now I am not battling with almost constant IBS.

I have Crohns Disease and started taking slippy elm capsules 2 times daily for treatment of a flare, (intense pain, cramping, bloody stools, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, urgency, etc.) it has really been helping way more then I anticipated. I'm not in nearly as much pain and many of my symptoms have eased.

My mother has had chronic diarrhea for 4 years,she always had bowel problems but got worse after bowel resectioning.She had 3 colonoscopies & they found ulcers & inflammation,she had a round of antibiotics,,But the chronic diarrhea continued. I started giving her just 1 capsule of Slippery Elm Bark at night before bed,AWAY FROM 'all other medications'. IMPORTANT! SHE HAD IMMEDIATE RELIEF THE NEXT MORNING. It has been 2 months now,is not completely normal (yet) but she can get out & about without worrying. Interestingly, if she forgets to take at night,diarrhea returns.. I love SEB and use it myself,it is in my ESSIAC TEA FORMULA that I use to shink my FIBROID TUMORS (benign) and it WORKS! I know because my surgeon who removed a large fibroid 11 years ago said he "had never seen anything like it before". "It was gelatinous (jelly like) & was mostly scraped off". You see it was dissolving! My friend had the same exact experience & remarks from her surgeon. That's ESSIAC TEA, an old Ojipway herbal remedy from Canada, Nurse Cassie (essiac) saw the results in curing of dis-ease and started using in Cancer Center where she worked.

I was diagnosed with IBS some 20 years ago. When it manifested itself as diarrhea, nothing was effective. Then, a friend told me how an RN had suggested it after doctors had all but given up on his young son's life-threatening diarrhea. As per the instructions she provided (1 Nature's Way brand per 100 lbs of body weight) I made a tea using 2 caplets. I waited 12 hours before taking a 2nd cup, as per instructions (once every 12 hours until regular). It tastes of maple, in my estimation and is easy on the taste buds. For severe, cramping diarrhea I have found it is effective in 12 hours at producing a loose to fairly firm stool. Cramping was greatly reduced to occasional pangs. After a 2nd cuppa and another 24 hours, I was regular and pain free. I have used it ever since and both my father and a good friend reported similar results. Both are seniors in fair health, dad is diabetic. Once I stopped taking alcohol, my IBS subsided almost completely with the odd flare up now and again. Just the same, we always keep a bottle of Slippery Elm Bark handy. It usually provides noticeable relief in a matter of an hour or so. I know other brands are reliable as well. HOWEVER, I don't know how they measure up potency wise with Nature's Way--You may be confident in the 1 capsule per 100 lbs Rx with this brand as it is consistent in its strength.

I went to the ER and they screened it that I have acid reflux. I took this together with barley grass, L-glutamine, probiotics,slippery elm powder, stevia, rice bran. it helped me with my burning sensation in stomach but it gave me constipation:(

stomach ulcers & excess acidity. i take 300mg before food & after food. the impact has been amazing relief in a few days.

This works great for coughs due to silent acid reflux. Take one and the coughing stops.

I have used slippery elm for a sore throat. it help greatly within about 10 minutes. Native American new what works. What about poison ivy.

I have been taking Slippery Elm Capsules Twice Daily for 6 Months with good results,but of late I have been experiencing Chest Pain each Night after Bedtime.. I have reduced the Dosage & now do not experience any Pain. I also take 2 X Tablets (Blood Pressure) with those Slippery Elm Capsules. They are 5mg Norvasc & 5mg Coversyl...Both of those Medicines Produce Side Effects...
