DGL Plus, 100 Tablets

This works extremely well (2 per day - chew well) IF YOU TAKE it on a consistent basis. I highly recommend this product if you are trying to go the more natural route. NO Tums or Omeprazole for me. Side effects are too serious for both of those medications. I prefer the natural route.

I use DGL as a part of my anti-acid regimen. I have used other products in the past, but I find that the 760mg of DGL is the best in the price range. It has up to 10x the DGL than some of the competitors. I like the taste of licorice, and you can definitely taste it in this product. Not so in the others that I have tried. It includes L-glycine, which is also reportedly soothes the stomach. Using Whole Food's DGL Plus with manuka honey plus changing my diet has pretty much ended the acid reflux nightmare of the past.

I've mostly used licorice root extract for my digestive issues for years, but the various brands I've used kept changing their formulas, and seemed to become less effective.After learning that I had h.pylori, I searched for ways to treat it without having to rely on harsh prescription drugs and such (this was of course after I underwent the standard treatment for h.pylori). I then learned about DGL tablets, and went with the Whole Foods brand of the product. Although it is hard for me to chew due to braces, they definitely work better than licorice root extract. It's also nice to just chew a tablet or two and go on with my day, whereas with the extract, I drank as a tea, but sometimes I just didn't feel like drinking water, especially at night when I usually needed the extract.I take the tablets with PepZinGI, and have become much healthier and more conscious of my digestive system. Although I might consider trying other DGL tablets, I'm pretty satisfied with the Whole Foods version so far.

DGL Plus is amazing! My husband was on 40 mg prescription Omeprazole for a couple of years due to multiple ulcers and Schatzki rings. We desperately wanted to get him off of the prescriptions since they can cause kidney damage. We tried many times with no success until we put him on the DGL Plus. We cut back the dosage of the Omeprazole to 20 mg and added the DGL Plus chewable once daily before dinner. After a week we stopped the Omeprazole and were pleased a few days later when everything was good. A few weeks later we also added Aloe and Boswellia twice each day purely as 'insurance'. Because of the timing of everything we changed, we know that the DGL Plus had a huge positive impact on getting him off of Big Pharma products.He takes additional DGL Plus if something doesn't feel like it is going to sit well, but that doesn't happen often. Before the DGL while on the prescription, he was having occasional discomfort and actively bleeding ulcers. Now he is back to normal. The Schatzki rings are always going to be an issue, but he has learned his trigger which is bread so he avoids it.DGL Plus has a slight Anise or Licorice flavor - the Anise is what makes it work. If you don't like Licorice but have stomach issues I would recommend you learn to like it because this product has been a life (kidney) saver.

If you love black licorice flavor, you'll love the flavor of these. The flavor is strong. I found it a little off-putting, at first. Then it grew on me. The tablets aren't chalky, as many chewables can be, which is why I gave them 3 stars.Unfortunately, I didn't notice any great improvement in any gastro issues. None whatsoever. I actually found that I had an increase in the frequency of heartburn when I take them. I see they work for some, they just don't work for me.

Always a favorite!

For my stomach. I am pleased with them. They are chewable and they taste good !

This product was recommended to me by a nutritionist. After taking this product with dinner for a few days (only new thing introduced to my diet) I began waking up with esophageal spasms. Extreme pressure in my upper chest and pain down my arms. After a complete cardiac workup including an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram...all totally normal... the only thing the doctors could identify was this medication. As soon as I stopped the medication the spasms stopped. To save others from the anxiety and cost of these procedures and doctors visits, please consider that this medication (as noted in other reviews) may make symptoms of heartburn worse.
