Planetary Herbals DGL Licorice Tablets, 100 Count

Best thing I’ve tried so far! I tried taking Omeprazole and after three days it stopped working. I don’t want to rely on pills, especially after reading about how bad they are long-term. I want to help heal my gut (although I do suspect I may have a weak LES.) But two days after starting these DGL tablets, I noticed an improvement in symptoms. I normally don’t experience heartburn (I have, but it’s very rare for me). I just get that lump in the throat feeling, and can feel everything moving up and down my throat. Taking 2-3 of these a day reduces my symptoms, and I notice sometimes that I don’t feel anything in my throat at all! I sleep very well at night now and no longer rely on sleeping on my left side (another trick if you suffer from reflux). I’m going to continue taking these every day while also changing my diet. Any improvement in symptoms is a good sign! I don’t know how long it’ll take to get rid of the reflux for good, but this is a good start! WARNING: These taste awful! But I don’t know what kind of DGL brand tastes “good.” Just press down on your nostrils so you can’t taste it while chewing!

Good deal for the money, taste okay and aids with acid reflux. Not the cure, but along with pepzin product and taken before a meal. What it is really good for, along with Slippery Elm, is helping to protect the upper digestive tract from acid burn/irritation/inflamation.Update: I was beginning to get a bad burning spot where the esoph meets the stomach. On advice, I chewed (DGL pills don't work, you need to mix saliva with the tablet before swallowing) 3 with a slippery elm lozenge before each meal. I continue to take 2 Pepzin in the am. Along with Famodidine 2x20mg morning and night, my burn (peptic ulcer) quickly stopped and within 2 weeks no problem, per Endoscopy. I also no longer have any acid reflux. Doc says to stay on this regimen for a month then taper off the Famodidine and DGL to see what happens. Adjust as needed. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Remember that the Pepzin, DGL and Slippery Elm heal your stomach lining. The Famodidine is to reduce the acid. I may never get off it totally no matter what I do with diet, etc, but with the other stuff I won't worry about cancer causing damage to the linings.

I have been using these DGL tablets for years. Whenever I have sour stomach or indigestion, and years ago--Gerd, I chewed these DGL tablets Know that they are Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract-which as I have been told---doesn't spike blood pressure. If you like licorice you will LOVE these, however if Licorice isn't your favorite flavor you will not like these tablets. Keep in a dry location as they tend to absorb humidity. Highly recommend this brand.

The product works, but the taste is so bad. I only just started on them and don’t know how long I can keep it up because of how bad the taste is.

well worth the unsavoriness of the little pill--kind of did a bit of self diagnosis and decided this might work---took about ten days and my stomach is 100% better....

I am a long term user of this product which I used to like. Then I got a bottle and the thing tasted absolutely horrendous. Very strong chemical taste almost made me vomit. THis is not a matter of not liking licorice flavor. It does not taste like licorice. It's just chemical stuff can't even describe. I thought I got unlucky and ordered another bottle and same problem. Either they changed the formula or the quality control is down or maybe Amazon stores them unsafely either way, I will stop getting this because I am not gonna buy bottle after bottle hoping to get lucky. ANd it is a shame because the texture was exactly what I wanted and can't find that many chewables that I like

I am using these for chronic acid reflux. They work some of the time and I am happy to have a natural option. I recently weaned myself off Nexium after using it daily for two years. That was awful!! Worst reflux I have ever had for weeks until my body adjusted to no Nexium. I used a combination of vinegar, licorice tabs and occasional ranitadine to help. Now, I mainly use the licorice. I take it 30-60 minutes before eating if I think my food may cause reflux and I use them like Tums if I already have reflux. They don't always work, but I would two thirds of the time, they work like a charm.

I've been taking omeprazole for probably 10 year for GRD. It has been brought to my attention that's really bad for you, so I'm trying to taper off and finally stop using that medication. This is a long, gradual process, and my doctor advised me on how to try it. I'd heard that DGL would help, so I ordered it. It helps! Instead of a Tums, I take one of these when I get that "I've swallowed a bone" feeling, and it goes away. I actually like the flavor, but if you dislike licorice, you might not like this. This is a healthier option for dealing with GRD, and I'm going to always keep it on hand.
