DGL improves heartburn after gastric surgery

DGL is deglycyrrhizinated licorice. It is an herb that helps protect the stomach by promoting mucous secretions.

DGL's mode of action is different than acid suppressing medications. In fact, rather than inhibiting the release of acid, it stimulates the normal defense mechanisms. This prevents ulcer formation & stimulates healling of the damaged mucous membranes.

Specifically, DGL increases...
-blood supply to the damaged mucosa
-number of cells producing mucus
-amount of mucus produced
-the lifespan of the intestinal cells

In several head-to-head comparison studies, DGL was shown to be MORE effective than Tagamet, Zantac or antacids. In the short-term and maintenance of peptic ulcers.

So if you're struggling with heartburn after gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery DGL is an excellent option to consider!
