just came across this thread on DGL and I have to say I have been taking it for heartburn and stomach issues and it has helped me more than anything else I was trying. I was just about to go on ppi's and decided to try this first. It has been 3 days and I can't believe it is working so well. The heartburn pain that has been with me for three straight weeks feels like it is gone. I am worried it will come back, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But really encourgaged!
I have the Natural Factors and have been taking one tablet 20 minutes before meals (3 x day) I have to admit the taste is really awful, and this is coming from someone who can gag down anything. But they are really gross!!..I have found a way that is working out for me....I take a sip of water first, and then put the tablet in my mouth. I plug my nose with my fingers and chew really fast til the whole tablet is swallowed. While still holding my nose I take some water in my mouth and swish it around and spit it out in the sink. Maybe even doing this a few times. Then release the nose and there is hardly a trace of that awful bitter taste. Works like a charm. I wouldn't want someone to give up on this great remedy just because of the taste. Try it. You can stick it out.
Have you still had success with DGL? I just bought the chocolate kind tonight - i'm sick of PPI's. I think those PPI's are hindering me. I truly believe it.
I hope all is well with you and you are feeling better.
I am constantly sick -- heartburn, undigested food, indigestion w/ chest pain - *cardiologist says i'm fine*.
