Question: can dgl licorice heal gastritis?
Answer: Mastic is a traditional treatment for peptic ulcers and inhibits H. pylori in test tubes. More studies are needed to see whether it works in humans. DGL-licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) standardized extract, chewed either 1 hour before, or 2 hours after meals, may help protect against stomach damage from NSAIDs.
