DGL is a chewable extract of deglycyrrhizinated licorice and the amino acid glycine. It's in a chewable form because saliva promotes absorption. Studies have shown DGL stimulates and/or accelerates the natural protective factors in the digestive tract, which helps relieve stomach discomfort immediately and may have peptic ulcer-healing activity.

It is important to identify the cause, and treat the cause of your ulcer. With some people, h.pylori bacteria is a factor.If this is the case, you need to be diligent in managing the ulcer formation, since this bacteria has been linked with gastric cancer. So, to palliate some of the symptoms you can use herbs and foods which will help soothe the ulceration. Slippery elm and aloe vera juice can be used.Also, taking a probiotic containing human acidophillus, lactobacillus and bifido bacteria can be helpful in "crowding out" unfriendly bacteria.Avoid any of your food sensitivities which can contribute to gastric and intestinal inflammation. Reduce overall inflammation in your body with fish oils and healthy food choices. Figure out ways to manage your stress through meditation, acupuncture, exercise etc. if your ulcers are a result of how your body deals with stressors in your life.
