Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 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, gursewa harrad.  Hello Does anyone know a supplier of slippery elm tablets (not capsules) phyto used to do them but have now stopped thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 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. herbalist@... wrote: Hi andrea, if you ring up Potters (google for thier website) and ask them for a trade catalogue, you will find them in there.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 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...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 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!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 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!)
