To all of you with children...Have you used slippery elm powder for your child?

Has it helped with inflammation?

How do you use it/ give it?? How often

Thanks

I copied this information regarding slippery elm powder from the website cureforulcerativecolitis.com

How to Take It:
Pediatric
Although there are no scientific studies examining the use of slippery elm in children, it is generally considered to be safe. Adjust the recommended adult dose to account for a child’s weight. Most herbal dosages for adults are calculated on the basis of a 150 lb (70 kg) adult. So if the child weighs 50 lb (20 – 25 kg), the appropriate dose of slippery elm would be 1/3 of the adult dose.
