User Reviews for slippery elm

I've had a very sore gum that made it hard to eat, even to talk clearly; I took a tea containing slippery elm and it eased the pain and seemed to promote healing.

I have had GORD from a hiatus hernia for the last 5 years it had got so bad I experinced pain most of the day. It was awful at night and I was sleeping propped up. Within 2 days of taking this the pain has gone. I have used aloe Vera which improved it a bit but did not stop it. I am still using the aloe Vera but taking slippery elm 3 times per day as directed on the packet of capsules.

My daughter was diagnosed with nasal pharyngeal cancer stage 1V. She had to have intense chemotherapy and radiotherapy which resulted in severe mucositis. We used slippery elm in two ways, mix in a paste with water and drunk to heal the gut,the second to make up with manuka honey in an ice cube, this provided relief to the throat and mouth. We tried her treatment with and without this regime. The results were very noticeable.

I had a tough cough and slight sore throat. My step dad said it's what he uses so I tried it. Works better than over the counter stuff. With in a short time I was better.

Instant result best nights sleep, could actually lie down half way through the night. Usually so much indigestion that I have to sleep upright.

I took this medication for nausea and upset stomach it's settled the upset stomach but then gave me violent diarrhea

helps with sensitivity in abdomen do to ulcerative colitis

I used this treatment for years for the treatment of IBS and diarreha.

Throat, digestive tract, Hemmorroids

I suffered from acid reflux and had to stop any food or drink after 6 pm. Had so much discomfort under my ribs, I suspected an ulcer. Fortunately a lady at a health store suggested a teaspoon of the powder form at night. I mixed with liquid yogurt which was very pleasant. My problems are now gone! I still don' t eat late as a precaution but I don' even mind that.

I am taking slippery elm for a chronic UTI and for leaky gut. Unfortunately after three days I am having SVTs, heart arrythmias, which I have not had for months. Coincidence or cause? I am stopping the slippery elm.

I cured 1 of my cats if IBS with SE. She no longer needed daily medication. I had another cat with severe IBS. so much so that he could barely keep any food down and what did stay down came shooting out the other end. So much so that he ended having to have a prolapsed rectum surgically repaired. I also got him off of heavy doses of daily medication with Se. He then only needed occasional doses to keep this terrible malady in check. Conventional therapy for this disorder is medication for the rest of the cat's life. I use it for myself for arthritis. after a long day of work, my hands, knees, feet really ache. On the SE, I have significant relief. I got the suggestion from a friend who took it when she tore her ACL. I love this stuff!Read More Read Less

Someone recommended Slippery Elm for seasonal allergies. My throat is no longer sore. I am pleased.

I have chronic Gastritis from Bile Reflux Disease. Over the last five years I have tried many PPI's, Carafate and diet changes. Slippery Elm works excellent! Much better than all the other things I've tried. I've stopped all prescription meds but this herb for my stomach pain. The prescription meds didn't relieve my gastritis pain and made me tired, achy and deficient in B12 and iron. This herb works MUCH better and has no side effects that I've seen. I make it into a paste and keep it in the fridge. I swallow a rounded teaspoon whenever I'm in pain and always before bed. I buy it by the pound from a Michigan herb store called Our4corners. A pound lasts me about 8 months and costs $20. The prescription PPI was $150 a month and the stomach-coating med Carafate was $50 a month, so you can see the cost savings is astronomical! This herb has made my chronic gastritis bearable. It's nice having days where my pain is a 0/10 :) Read More Read Less

It was recomended to me to wean pups to solids. I can't speak for the pups but no ill iffects. Stools were normal, and no tummy upsets. I used it for a sore throat. Worked wonders. I recomended it to a cancer patient who was having trouble getting food down she had positive results. And it has many nutrients.

Using it for diverticulosis as I was told it aide in healing. Working for me but I am taking it with a regular regime of Apple cider vinegar, honey, probiotics, oat bran, tumeric , fennel and l-glutamine and I now use coconut oil for cooking. It is all helping!

I have suffered with IBS and GERD. I had been taking prescribed medicine that was very expensive. After 2 days of using slippery elm powder in hot water as a tea, my digestion improved tremendously.

Worked almost instantly for the purpose I ingested the liquid. I'm on Lisinopril 5mg, and will ask my doctor if he thinks it's safe to use in conjunction. I've only used it once though, so...

I bought Slippery Elm for my mixed terrier 10 years of age. She eats soil in the back yard and then has indigestion which she shows by grazing desperately later on. The S.E. seemed to help with the indigestion, but after two days, she woke us up with dry heaves. It sounded like vomit, but she did not throw up. However, I was not happy with this reaction and had to stop it right away.

Suffering GORD, taking Nexium from the GP, decided to try Slippery Elm on recommendation from a friend. No longer take Nexium, medical bills have stopped, digesting food, and feeling great. Been taking S.E. for 3 months with no side effects, except constantly improving good health.
