So, I'm finally ready to try the Slippery Elm powder that's been in my cabinet for the last month. From most of the stuff I've read on here, it tastes pretty bad. Does anyone have any receipes/preparation techniques for this stuff to make is taste better?

briang,,,I mix mine with red grape juice. Sometimes I put it in the blender and give it a few seconds to blend. You can buy a little stick blender at Wal mart for $10.00.

this is how I make mine....take a heaping teaspoonful drop into a mug.....add hot water stirring all the time....I never get lumps! you can add honey or stevia....no sugar ....or do as granny does ......it's called wimpy slippery elm juice :D

Salllyyyyyyyy LOL,,,, :) :)

I'm going to get me some empty quick release capsules and fill them up and try it that way. You can get them at any health food store. I'll let you know how it works out

the idea of the slippery elm powder is to coat the digestive tract and anything else down there....I'm not sure if the pills will do it....but I did figure it out one time for someone that it would take 10 caps to equal 1 tbsp ....

WHY IS EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TASTE? I FIND IT FINE! ACTUALLY NOT EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TASTE. I EITHER DRINK IT STRAIGHT UP, OR WITH A LITTLE HONEY.
LIKE A CUP OF NICE LIQUID OATMEAL. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? BAAR BRAND IS THE ONE I GET. I ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO IT. A NICE HOT CUP OF THIS NOURISHING TUMMY COATING STUFF!
DRINK UP!! :D

This is probably a dumb question, but can you tell me what its supposed to do? In other words, how does it help you? At the risk of starting some unwanted arguments, I would like to know more about leaky gut. Does SE help this? I have had a lot of stomach probs in the past. Since I have decided not to go the hard core P and PA meds way, I really want to get into the Alts.

Hi Patty
Here are a couple sites to get you going.........

Shirley's Wellness center is a great source for P as well as diabetes info!
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/psoriasis.htm
and here is "About's" site on inflammatory foods....she makes some good points except for the recommendations for soy....eek that stuff is not good for anyone....and more and more studies are proviong that...I know if a person has a thyroid condition it stops the thyroid drug from doing it's job! (anyway I was allergic to it :p )
