D: Slippery Elm & Marshmallow Root are excellent for "lubricating" epithelial tissues such as intestines and lungs. DGL & Allantoin are excellent for "healing" same tissues.Replied by Diane (California) on 01/27/2015
Thank you, Tim H. The DGL and Allantoin are new to me. I will look them up. Thank you for telling me about them.Replied by Timh (KY) on 01/28/2015
D: You are welcome. There has been a few post here on E.C. about this combo; searching here will be a good start as this is not a common remedy, but effective none-the-less. DGL/Allantoin is essentially a non-toxic Comfrey replacement remedy, and has proved effective for me w/ every application over-the-yrs. Let us know if this works for you.

I just recently diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome, however previously, I began using magnesium for chronic idiopathic constipation. It has been extremely helpful. So funny I never complained to the doctor about constipation, or dry eyes. So now it all make sense. I take 1 magnesium in the morning, with other vitamins, and 1 at night. Usually works like a charm. I will watch this forum. For everyone's alternative ideas. Thanks, EC
