so im trying to get off nexium so i bought some dgl

the exact one i got is dgl ultra by enzymatic therapy german chocolate flavored

each tablet is 400mg

i wanted to know what other peoples dosage habits are like with dgl whats the max you should take..what dosage do you take that seems to help

anything else i should know?
 
I use the same brand DGL with the german chocolate flavor and find it tastier and easier to tolerate (the natural flavored one made me nauseous). I usually chew two a little bit before meals and before bedtime. I thinkthe bottle says to chew one but one is not enough for me, so I chew two. If I am having a good day, I slack off and don't chew as many or none at all. I tend to chew more on the days my throat or stomach are bothering me.

Hi Annie:

DGL is licorice you buy at the healthfood store. Licorice has a compound that can cause high blood pressure and the DGL has had it removed to aviod that dangerous side effect. DGL is supposed to help stomach tissue heal. I have found it soothing but I have not been able to stop taking acid suppressing medication. I no longer take a PPI but have continued taking an H2 blocker (Zantac) for heartburn symptoms.

You may want to try DGL without stopping your PPI since you are having a particularly bad flare up of symptoms right now (I read and responded to your other post). I don't think the DGL will hurt and it may actually help with the irritation you are experiencing right now.

Rose, thank you so much for replying my posts.

I really appreciate the information re the DGL and will pick some up tomorrow.

I do have hypertension so I'm glad to know the compound causing it to rise has been removed.

I will continue the PPI.
Again, thanks! Annie
