I have been taking dgl for stomach pain. noticed drops of clear oil like substance on top of toilet water after movements. could dgl cause this?

Possibly: Licorice where the glycyrrhizinate has been removed (because it can cause high blood pressure) is dgl. Tis is a very popular digestive herbal agent that helps indigestion. Dr andrew weill suggests chewable tablets up to six daily. Water is heavier than fat and an oily substance may form at the top of the stool.
