Avatar f tn Soy products may interfere with how the body absorbs thyroid medication in the GI tract. The general rule is to wait a few hours between taking your thyroid medication and consuming any soy products. Licorice candy is often flavoured with anise oil (flavour similar to licorice) but can also contain both licorice extract and anise oil. I've read licorice candy in the US is more likely to be flavoured with anise oil rather than licorice extract but you would have to check the label.
1431734 tn?1421011671 I found that black licorice helped me some. The real black licorice, the soft stuff from Australia that is usually on the candy shelf, at least here in Canada it is. Just the same...black licorice helped me. Doesn't hurt that I love the stuff either. Soda crackers also helped some.

Avatar f tn Brenda640, I think this needs a medical evaluation (as maw mentioned) because it could be serious. It is likely hematemesis ( vomiting blood) due to G/I damage or other internal trauma. When blood mixes with certain enzymes in the stomach, its color changes to dark. Unless you had been eating a huge quantity of black licorice or dark chocolate, I don't personally know of any other possibility. Please note that my comments do not constitute medical advice.

2083449 tn?1381354708 Sonrissa, Sorry for your very bad, and descriptive day. Just FYI the black licorice will work, naturally. Try and buy some of the more homemade, looking stuff. My family hates road trips, because I always buy it on road trips Not for that reason, because they hate the smell of the licorice. 6 hours later you will be feeling plenty regular.

678069 tn?1254422777 Black licorice Blueberries Iron supplements Lead Bismuth (Pepto-bismol) A physician should be consulted immediately if black stools can not be attributed to a benign cause such as an iron supplement or a food. Diagnosing Melena The black color alone is not enough to determine that it is blood that is being passed in the stool. Therefore, a doctor will need to confirm whether there is blood in your stool. This can be done in the office through a rectal exam.
Avatar m tn deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), which can soothe the lining of the esophagus and stomach. Chew two tablets slowly before each meal or between meals, or take one-half teaspoon of the powder before meals. Let it slowly trickle down your throat. You can continue to use DGL as long as you have symptoms. Here are some other lifestyle changes that can help: Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. If you do take an occasional drink, be sure to eat something first.
Avatar f tn My husband and I would like to start trying for a baby but i'm on Betablockers for a tachycardia that no-one can find a reason for! i'm only on 1.25mg of bisoprolol, and would like to know what risks there are.

1622406 tn?1299069611 (feels like gas is staying in my stomach and going everywhere but I also have excessive gas and excessive belching)....and my stomach hurt so bad that I can't lay on my stomach or my back.

It just hurts. Now I have fibromyalgia but I am in remission.
Avatar n tn My father recenlty fell, fractured his hip and I have been getting contradicting information about digoxin, since he has low blood pressure and digoxin may not be safe for him.. Thank you This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/239460'>Dijoxin Level</a>.
Avatar n tn I took Digoxin for a number of years in reponse to an atrial fibrillation event. My new physician did not feel I needed to be on it any longer. What are the side effects of discontinuing this medication? I have been off it for several months and some odd changes in my body.
Avatar f tn ve said this before, the dosage of DGL depends on the product -- most are chewing one tablet 20 minutes before a meal, not two, because they contain more DGL. And as Gymdandee noted, DGL is specially formulated licorice that removes the active part that raises blood pressure. Please, people, let's be careful here, people are looking for help.

Avatar f tn Hep c is not really in remission it is a very slowly acting virus causing damage to the liver over years and decades. The dragon hepatitis c does not sleep. I gave GERD and while I was taking Harvoni I just suffered through 24 weeks of heartburn. The only thing I did was take tums at night making sure I had taken my Harvoni at least 4 hours before I took the tums. You should discuss any meds you are taking or intending to take including natural meds with your doctor.
937868 tn?1570328281 Some people swear by DGL - Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice as an alternative treatment for ulcers and digestive issues. The thing is, if it's getting worse it sounds like you need to get this looked at by a doctor as soon as possible - even if you have to find another doc or walk into an emergency dept of a hospital.
