Also known as the “king of digestive herbs”, Slippery Elm bark is extremely rich in mucilage, the active ingredient that forms the “gruel” that soothes and nourishes the digestive tract. It also coats the mucous membranes and absorbs toxins which can cause intestinal imbalances. It is recommended for protecting against stomach and duodenal ulcers, for colitis, diverticulitis, GI inflammation, and too much stomach acid. It has the ability to soothe the intestinal tract. People take Slippery Elm for coughs, sore throat, colic, diarrhoea, constipation, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bladder and infections, syphilis, herpes, and for expelling tapeworms.

Helps Improve Digestive Function:
Is Slippery Elm a laxative?
Although it works differently than some other laxatives, it seems to improve symptoms of constipation, IBD and IBS, including in both adults and children. The fresh inner bark can be used in place of, or along with, other natural laxatives.
In one study, the effects of two different formulas on digestive function were compared, both of which included SE in addition to other herbs.
Formula one was associated with a small but significant increase in bowel movement frequency, as well as reductions in straining, abdominal pain, bloated stomach and IBS symptoms. Subjects who took formula two experienced a 20 percent increase in bowel movement frequency and significant reductions in straining, abdominal pain, bloating and global IBS symptom severity, as well as improvements in stool consistency. Ultimately, both formulas led to improvements.
SE has also been shown in certain studies to treat diarrhea and diverticulitis. Additionally, it may help protect against ulcers and excess acidity in the GI tract because it causes reflux stimulation of nerve endings, and that reaction leads to increased mucus secretion. Not only does this help most people, but it can actually give much relief to your dog too.
