Hi Robyn - I've never used slippery elm, but I did have some info that I got in the August 2003 edition of Prevention magazine. They had a pullout for herbal tummy remedies and this was listed for slippery elm:

Slippery elm
(Ulmus fulva)

Slippery elm is a healing herb that makes a sore digetive tract feel better. It soothes the digestive tract after an IBS flare-up, minor food poisoning, or irritation.

Take: One dose, three times a day

Powder: 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of cold water

Tableted powder: One 500-mg tablet

Tincture 1:5: 1 teaspoon (5 ml)

Tincture 1:1: 20 drops


I don't know if this helps you out or not, but here it is if you need it.

Good luck!
