Now Foods - Slippery Elm Powder, Vegetarian 4 Oz. 53647

Doesn't form slime or gel with water

Just there no visible difference

I bought this product because I have UC and it was recommend for my gut lining. I have been using it for a few days now with other supplements, and although I cannot 100% attribute my symptons tothe slippery elm, I will share that my bowel movements have not gotten worse. I really think that the slippery elm has helped with preventing inflammation. I drink this in the mornings, on an empty stomach, I drink it with warm water. I read somewhere it is not recommended it to drink it with boiling water. I will say it doesnt mix well. There's definitely some leftovers and chunks after I'm done drinking it. I typically just add more water and dont really mind it. The color is a little muddy, it doesnt look appetizing and it tastes a little earthy, but I dont mind. I think the color and taste are bearable. Once I am done drinking it, I wait a couple of minutes to let in do its thing before I consume the rest of my morning supplement routine.

Arrived in proper condition Slippery elm of this brand is of quite good quality and perfect for people with gut issues- particularly, acidity, acid reflux, helps improve conditions like GERD and IBS by protecting the mucosal lining of the stomach and esophagus- this was recommended to me by my nutritionist- PLEASE ALWAYS USE ANY SUPPLEMENT UNDER THE PROPER GUIDANCE OF A CERTIFIED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER

Really works and is good quality

Just consume 1 tbs of this with water 30 minute before meals to sooth your gi tract to avoid acidity and acid reflux.

There is a funny smell after we put in water. I have been using this brand for many years but this smell was never there, finding it difficult to consume
