I was reading another thread that mentioned the use of DGL. I have been experimenting with different brands after the first two that I tried made me want to throw up...
I have to say, I'm not somebody who "chokes things down" well. So this DGL thing has been sort of tough.

I was using Enzymatic Therapy's and Vitamin Shoppe's DGL. Both tasted horrible to me. I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth fast enough.

Then, I started using Solaray DGL gumlets. They're not bad. The weird thing is that the tablet turns into a piece of gum! They also contain a little marshmallow root and ginger. But there's only 400mg in one gumlet and only 30 gumlets in a package that costs as much as 100 tablets of another brand.
So yesterday, I bought the DGL made by Natural Factors. It has a slight taste, but not bad.

Anyway, the idea with the DGL is to take it 20 minutes or so before a meal. And chomp it up really good, letting it really mix with your saliva.
My ND told me I could take it more frequently than this, which I do if I need to.
He also said there's no time limit on taking it, but take it for 2-4 months minimum.
I've DEFINITELY noticed a difference since I started using it...not an overnight difference, but a difference.

Hope this helps.

Hi..If you can stand the taste, try sucking on the DGL and letting it "melt" and go down slow..It was really really hard for me at first, but it has made an even bigger difference for me. At first I was chewing it into really small pieces and trying to let them disolve, but it was in my teeth and I was icked out... Anyway, now that I am an doing this alot, I can stand the taste and it has really helped...
Glad it is working for you! Take Care...
Crazy

I tired DGL and it did absolutly nothing for me.

I actually like the taste of DGL but it increases my burning sensation for some reason - gullett feels sort of sticky and numb for hours after eating one tab!
