DGL is used to: help with acid reflux and is safe. If you take licorice that is not DGL, over time it can raise your blood pressure. Please consult w/your doc. Peace and good health.

Safe: According to the literature I have read it is safe. Less side effects that omeprazole. If you think you have an ulcer, your best bet is to see your physician and do some testing. A H Pylori test can usually be done in an office setting. You might need an upper GI endoscopy.
