Get Heartburn, Indigestion and Ulcer Relief Using DGL

In the 1940’s licorice was discovered to be useful in treating peptic ulcers.  Unfortunately, it had side effects that lead to high blood pressure, potassium loss, and fluid retention.

Researchers discovered that the ingredient in licorice that caused those side effects was “glycyrrhizin.”  They were able to remove 97% of this chemical and the result was a product called “deglycyrrhizinated” licorice, DGL.  DGL maintained its healing properties but had no side effects.

DGL was first used to heal ulcers in the stomach and duodenum without suppressing stomach acids.  DGL worked just as good as the drugs Zantac or Tagamet that are designed to suppress stomach acid.

As more people used DGL, they found they got relief from a variety of stomach issues – heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, bloating, and gas.  In addition, they found using DGL was better than using antacids or acid blockers.

DGL works by improving and restoring the integrity of the esophageal, stomach and duodenum lining.  It does this by promoting mucus release and cell rebuilding.  The mucus released provides gastrointestinal lining protection from acids and gives the lining time to rebuild and regenerate.  The result is healing and strengthening of the affected tissue.

Here’s how to use DGL.  DGL comes in large tablets that you place in your mouth and allowed to melt.  You can chew them slightly but not swallow them since it is your saliva that helps activate the DGL.

By allowing DGL to melt in your mouth the resulting liquid will now run along your esophagus and start the healing process where ever there is tissue inflammation or damage.

Use two tablets 3-4 times a day on an empty stomach.  Do not use any water when you are taking the tablets.  You can take the tablets at least an hour before you eat and an hour after you eat.

Although DGL provides relief for heartburn, acid reflux and other stomach disturbances it does not totally provide a cure.   It does provide recovery from damaged gastrointestinal lining as occurs with ulcers but does not change the level of stomach acid.

In some cases, heartburn is caused by too little or too much stomach acid.  When too little acid is causing heartburn or acid reflux it makes no sense to use antacids or acid blocking drugs which decrease your stomach acid even more.  Low levels of stomach acid lead to serious illnesses.

Because so much is still unknown about the cause of acid reflux or heartburn, it is known that DGL can give you some acid reflux relief and in some case mild cases cure it.

Use DGL for mild or severe cases of heartburn or acid reflux and you will be surprised at the results you get.
