Upper endoscopy soon. being tested for h.pylori. stopped stomach meds 30 days prior. been taking dgl licorice+slippery elm, will these affect results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be since...: licorice extract has been used for treatment of H.pylori-associated peptic ulcer as an alternative to bismuth. Ref: Bahrama, et al, 2013, as found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3818629/
