Re: Slippery Elm?       03/12/09 09:46 AM Edit Reply Quote dragonfly Reged: 05/12/08 Posts: 1088 Loc: canada Slippery Elm is used to calm and soothe irritated colon which leads to D or C depending on your body.It stops the burning pain I get from D and calms things down so I can have a"normal" movement.As for C it calms the irritation in the bowels caused from the buildup of feces. I took it for chronic d from gallbladder removal.I mean crazy yellow all day D.With in three days it cleared up . My mother in law uses it for IBS C.It helps her go. Maybe give it shot on its own and see how it helps.As for C I think it would take a lot longer but for D it worked within three days and I haven't had a problem since.That was a year ago. Most likely it was something else that caused those symptoms.It isn't a laxative or a nonlaxative(whatever ).Its like moisture for dry skin or calamine lotion for poison ivy.It just soohes th eintestinal lining so it can be regular again. HTH -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me. Edited by dragonfly (03/12/09 09:49 AM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
