Acid reflux can happen when your lower oesophageal sphincter doesn’t seal and close off your oesophagus from your stomach. This allows the contents in your stomach to come back up your oesophageal tract, leading to an inflamed oesophagus.

Acid reflux can occur daily, weekly, or less frequently. Those who experience acid reflux often may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This condition can lead to more serious health problems, including damage to your oesophagus.

If traditional medications aren’t helping or if you just want to add something more to your treatment regime slippery elm may be a good option. People believe this naturally derived supplement coats the oesophagus and stomach to relieve discomfort caused by acid reflux.

Slippery elm bark is a demulcent. This means that it is capable of soothing the lining of the stomach and intestines and reducing irritation. Demulcents are sometimes referred to as mucoprotective agents.

Recent studies have shown that slippery elm bark can help treat the symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

A 2010 study confirmed that slippery elm, as part of an herbal supplement, can help treat the symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). More research is necessary to determine whether slippery elm has the same effectwhen you use it alone.
