Irritation of the lining of the digestive tract can occur in many circumstances, leading to inflammation and symptoms of abdominal pain, heartburn, gas, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome and more. Traditionally, specific herbs have been used to soothe and coat the gastrointestinal mucosa in such circumstances, providing mucoprotective action. These herbs are known as emollients.
Demulcents are effective in the treatment of diarrhea, constipation and inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. They work by preventing microbes from binding to cell membranes, binding excess water, improving microcirculation, and acting as a direct physical barrier in the digestive tract. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), Althea officinalis (marshmallow root), and Ulmus rubra (slippery elm) are among the most well-established demulcents with clinical effectiveness.
DGL is a form of licorice root that has removed glycyrrhizin, a constituent responsible for increased cortisol and fluid retention. This allows for a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa with minimal safety concerns. DGL has been studied for its ability to effectively treat symptoms associated with damaged gastric and duodenal mucosa. Additionally, chewing DGL has also shown a positive effect on the gastrointestinal lining and some evidence suggests that DGL may help prevent damage to the lining of the digestive tract caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Marshmallow root and slippery elm have been used anecdotally for decades as safe and effective emollients to treat reflux esophagitis, gastritis, diarrhea, respiratory problems, and even inflammatory skin lesions.
GI-Soothe provides DGL, Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm in highly potent extracts for effective softening and mucoprotective effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Available in bottles of 60 vegetable capsules.
