User Reviews for slippery elm

A nurse friend of mine told me to make a salve with slippery elm and rub on ganglion cyst and it was gone within three weeks.

I had a very severe response to an antibiotic, causing excess stomach acid. The result was constant coughing, vomiting (caused by the coughing) and damage to my oesophagus. A health practitioner recommended Slippery Elm Bark from BioCare. I have been taking it for two weeks and the symptoms (which had lasted for weeks after I stopped the antibiotics) have completely gone. I noticed the effect immediately. It’s rare for me to write any review, this product was so effective that I had to write about it.Read More Read Less

Used for many years for sore throat. Faster and more soothing than sore throat lozenge. Used only as tea.

Helped the condition I was treating. Took 2 capsules a day and caused moderate bloating, gas and increased urination. Side effects are too much for me.

Taking for GERD & EOE This has worked wonders for me! I had constant burning in my stomach and esophagus. PPI's were not working and I didn't want to use steroids so decided to try slippery elm. So glad I did! It has helped me in such a short amount of time. Water aggravates my GERD so I mix it in almond milk 3 times a day. It's truly been a life saver!

Can anyone tell me if slippery elm goes out of date please ?

Someone commented that you can only get Slippery Elm, in Powder form. I still get the lozenges at a health food store.

I've been using this for more than 10 years to temper IBS flare-up - it works, is a life saver & is wonderful!!

Uses for treatment of any mucus infection, yeast infections. After treatment, I visit the doctor to make sure that yeast infection no longer exists.

Tried slippery elm for sore throat. It seemed to had immediate soothing effects in tea form. It also seemed to make me nod in and out of sleep all day. My achiness from flu is all gone and sore throat is much better! Tastes like maple with black pepper. I like it so far.

MD diagnosed me with vaginal yeast infection. I treated myself with a vaginal douce of slippery elm. Also, I soaked tampons with Slippery Elm. Two weeks later wen to doctor, no signs of infection.

I had 8 children and from the time they were 4 or 5 when they had sore throats I would give them one of the slippery elm tablets and have them suck on it. It even helped when they had strep throat. I still use it myself these days.

slippery elm by mouth is NOT used to produce an abortion. Please get your facts straight - many years ago shards of the bark were inserted into the vagina to procure abortions and this is why Slippery elm is only available in powder form nowadays.

Have had IBS for 13 yrs and try anything that claims to help me for this. I was hopeful at first, but it seems I'm back to square one. Very disappointed.

I believe this is easing my IBS symptoms and making it easier to pass stool.

Works wonders for my nighttime heart palpitations! The only way I can sleep. (Nature's Way, Premium Herbal Slippery Elm Bark capsules)

Tremendous help for me. I don't have official diagnosis, but have IBS symptoms, including diarrhea, constipation, gas,and horrible cramps, that last for hours. I take a teaspoon of slippery elm powder with green tea every day in late morning. The results are amazing!

Have used it for severe ulcerative colitis and secondary arthritis in my knees and have found it soothing & healing even while in a flare up. Also put it in smoothies (no fruit...too acidic).Used in conjunction with L glutamine and probiotics very gentle on the system.

Works instantly for heartburn. Very happy with this!

Mouth sores after radiation/chemo are painful. I make a past with a small amount of organic slippery elm powder place inside my cheek, tongue or anywhere that presents with sores. It works.
