Hi andrea,

if you ring up Potters (google for thier website) and ask them for a trade

catalogue, you will find them in there.  But, remember that they are packed in

little tubs for retail sale, so do work out a bit pricy.  You could always make

them yourself using the powder, honey and a drop of peppermint E.O. (you could

also add in a bit of marshmallow root powder or other herbs if needed).

cheers,

Hi

Yes it's for reflux!

I usually do give the powder, which does work brilliently as you say

I have one patient really can't bear to take it, so I said I would

order her some tablets, only to discover phyto no longer do them.

I might just give it a go and make some myself!

best,

To save myself rolling up hundreds of little balls I often supply

patients with that paste in a pot and tell them to pinch a couple of

lumps off to chew as they require.

Hi ,

I don't know what condition you want to use the tablets for but if it is for

reflux/heartburn I always give powder (to be mixed by a patient with some water)

- it works much, much better, almost immediatelly (tastes revolting I know).

Interestingly, different powders from different suppliers work differently, the

finer the powder the better action. I have a really old one (8 years or so)

bought from Culpepper and it still is fantastic.

Hi ,

once or twice I have used Althea syrup (from Phyto) for patients who cannot

stand the powder, it works quite well, but you have the issue of sugar...

I have a 3 year old px who has reflux and I also want to use slippery elm. I

usually give caps to adults, as that's all I have in stock but she's too young

to take a capsule. I was reluctant to order in the powder, as I think she'll

refuse to drink it. She also has terrible intestinal dysbiosis from LOADS of

antibiotics and I also wanted to give it as a pre-biotic. Has anyone had

experience giving slippery elm to young children and what medium was the most

effective delivery? Are there other alternatives to slippery elm as a

prebiotic?

Thanks!

What a good idea...

(I used to make it up just a little bit thicker than usual and with

plenty of honey and feed it to mine on a spoon , didn't seem to be a

problem.... I would think that after the first few times, the relief

your patient feels will lead her to associate it with good stuff!)
