Quick question

Hi--- has anyone had any experience of taking slippery elm to help gastric issues whilst on mthx? Thanks ☺x

[Ali_H]

Yes!

I took it when starting on meds and it helped greatly. I put a bit in my porridge and ate it prior to taking meds and I took it last thing at night in warm water. I don't take it so often now and I only ever had mild side effects from the MTX. I also put fresh ginger in my porridge... My MTX day is known as 'porridge day' in our house.

All the best
