A member asked:
I've had troubles getting asleep for the past days. it coincides with starting dgl licorice, pepzin gi, slippery elm. could those be the trigger?

Possibly: Although I have not read of any of these products causing insomnia, everyone reacts differently to certain foods/herbs/medications/supplements. Licorice products that still contain the glcyrrhizing and whole licorice taken orally may increase the effects of corticosteroids, cause sodium and water retention and increase blood pressure, so it is "possible" that it could also affect your sleep.
