How it works
DGL stimulates mucus secretion from gastric epithelial cells, increasing the protective mucus layer that shields the oesophagus and stomach from acid damage. May also reduce H. pylori adhesion.
Must be the deglycyrrhizinated (DGL) form to avoid hypertension and electrolyte effects of regular licorice. Chew tablets before meals. Evidence is mostly from older small studies.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
