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. Check w/your doctor about how much would be your optimal weight. He/she may suggest a food plan. Include lots of protein and GOOD fats such as coconut oil and olive oil if doc says ok. Peace and good health.
