Re: ? about slippery elm and marshmallow

[Guest guest]

I have gut inflammation(gastritis) and was wondering if I can take

slippery elm and marshmallow for it, or ould the herbs feed the

candida?

Hi,

When I am taking anti-fungals I also take GI- Encap by Thorne Research. It

has, Plantain Bananas, Licorice, Slippery Elm, and Marshmallow Root. I take

one capsule with each meal and it cuts down on bloating and gas. Here is an

excerpt from the Modern Herbalist website about it:

This highly effective supplement provides rapid relief for both

acute and chronic inflammation / irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract

lining. Irritation and inflammation of the gastro-intestinal mucosa usually

produces abdominal bloating / distention, pain, tenderness, sensitivity and

discomfort in the abdominal region. This is often triggered by the ingestion

of various foods to which the individual has developed an intolerance, but

may also occur ongoingly regardless of what foods are ingested. Cases of

Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Intestinal Candida

overgrowth all benefit from the use use of this remedy.

Hi there

Both these herbs should help with the inflammation,

you could also try Aloe Vera, it's wonderful for the

digestive track plus it will fight against

Candida and L-Glutamine, it's a natural antacid and

again will heal the digestive track.

Hi,

candida?

===>I'm not sure about the effects of slippery elm on candida, but

the active part in Marshmallow are large carbohydrate (sugar)

molecules.

Some commonly used herbs for gastritis, that are very soothing and

have been used for candida are: aloe vera juice (one of the best

treatments), fennel, dandelion, tumeric, yarrow and ginger. Licorice

root is more specifically used for the stomach and duodenum.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice, so Marshmallow root is a big no no?

Thanks, I already got slippery elm and marshmallow root so might give

that product a try a little later, but I heard dgl is ineffective if

taken by capsule because saliva activates the mucuous properties of

dgl

I wouldn't say that marshmallow root is a big no no, it's just that

there are other more effective herbs.

===>About dgl (licorice), how could saliva affect a capsule? Do you

mean Hcl in the stomach. Also what would be wrong about activating

the mucous properties of dgl? I've been sucking on dgl tablets

lately and it sure settles my stomach.

The Dgl needs to be in tablet form so you can suck on it with saliva

to activate its mucous properties, so if it is in capsule form it

just goes to the stomach with little or no saliva therefore no

mucuous effect. Also what brand of dgl tablets do you take, I can't

find any with some form of sugar or sugar substitute?
