DGL may stimulate our bodies defense mechanisms resulting in improved quality of mucous, lengthening of intestinal cell life and enhanced microcirculation in the gastrointestinal lining. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is a demulcent, an agent that coats and protects mucosal surfaces.  In the stomach and intestines, DGL licorice protects the lining from ulceration.  It also stimulates mucus production thereby covering the irritated tissue so that it has a chance to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDigestive Heath\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stomach can be afflicted with several common digestive concerns.  Indigestion is caused by an inability to break down and absorb food.  It is usually directly related to the type of food eaten and poor eating habits.  Chronic indigestion may be related to lack of bile, stomach acid and enzymes, or food sensitivities.  Gastric and peptic ulcers are erosions of the mucus membrane that line the stomach and upper intestine.  Excess digestive juices, deficient digestive juices, bacteria, poor diet, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone and stress can cause ulcers.  Hiatal hernias are a bulge of stomach tissue that have gone through the diaphragm and sit around the esophagus.  It is associated with poor eating habits, weight issues and the use of estrogen medications.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimize the health and functioning of your stomach by:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteaming veggies and eating small frequent meals in a comfortable environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEat slowly to avoid swallowing excess air.  Do not drink liquids while eating because it dilutes digestive juices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminate all processed and refined foods from the diet.
