A member asked:
Would taking slippery elm as a supplement for an erosive gastritis flare up cause any harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slippery elm: There is no good evidence that slippery Elm helps in any gastrointestinal illness, despite some Internet hype. In addition, it can result in decreased absorption of needed medications. I would avoid it!
