Nature's Life - Chewable Dgl Licorice, 100 chewable tablets Review

Nature's Life - Chewable Dgl Licorice, 100 chewable tablets

DGL is a miracle for gastritis, ulcer pain, and any acid irritation in the stomach. DGL is deglycchirinized licorice which helps the stomach renew and rebuild its protective mucous layer. This is great because you get pain relief from the mucous layer instead of by taking antacid, which would inhibit the acid you NEED for digesting your food, DGL does a better job without inhibiting proper digestion. The relief you feel the moment you chew one or two of these tablets is practically immediate - or within a few minutes at most. There is a WIDE range in palatability in DGL tablets out there - unless you love the flavor of black licorice, many will taste terrible. This product from Nature's Life however, tastes like coffee - it is really great tasting and amazingly effective with NO side effects (licorice root which has NOT been deglycchirinized can raise blood pressure, but DGL will not cause any problems). I have seen this product provide even better relief than many prescription medications. Try it once and it will become a staple in your medicine cabinet.

Licorice helps to soothe irritated mucous membranes and stimulate mucus secretion to coat the stomach wall with a protective gel. Flavonoids, such as those found in licorice, also help reduce gastric secretion. Nature's Life DGL Chewable tablets are deglycyrrhizinated, since the natural glycyrrhizin in licorice may cause increases in blood pressure and water retention.

My son has very bad reflux and this formula helps. We actually have to add a little rice to it. (even though this has rice starch in it) He can hold this mixture down better than he can any other formula (or breast milk)
Anyway. I agree that this formula is a CHORE to mix up. Before you cry foul and claim that it's not worth the effort, keep in mind that our child was throwing up so much that he gained ZERO weight for the month of Feb.
We had to cut down breast milk and supplement with Enfamil AR. With that said, here is how we make the clump free mixture:
1. Microwave water in coffee cup for 15-30 seconds. (warm, not hot)
2. Pour water in shaker, add formula and a little rice.
3. Shake this stuff as hard as you can for about 30 seconds.
4. Pour in Bottle.
I've done this for the last few weeks and I have no clumps what so ever. If you shake this up in the bottle, then YES you will have a nightmare of clumps to deal with. (we even use Dr. Brown AND Born Free bottles)
The problem is that the formula starts to bond as soon as it touches water. So you have to shake hard and fast to beat the clumping. If you shake it slowly, then the clumps start up and are VERY difficult to get out.
When traveling, I have two shakers with me. (just in case I'm out longer than planned) Again.... shaking Enfamil AR in a bottle can lead to great frustration. My son has gained 4 oz in two weeks (getting weight checked again this week... crossing fingers), so I must recommend this product despite the difficulty in preparing.
I again freely admit that mixing this formula is difficult. It is very prone to clumping. It can be slimy like another reviewer has said. If you have clumps stuck in your nipple, then your baby can become frustrated. It is an absolute hassle to mix in public. However, if you have a baby that is not gaining weight or holding down their food... and you have had this formula recommended by a dr. (4 recommended this to us), then it may be a viable option for you.
I will gladly help anyone who has questions for me about this. (i'm not sure how/if Amazon will notify me, but i would love to help)
