We are waiting for the experts to weigh in on this specific question, but when considering taking any medication or suppliment, it's best to speak to your doctor or pharmacist first to rule out any possible interaction. Even the most benign vitamins and health suppliments have the potential to be lethal if combined with the right agent.
Jennifer Rackley posted a sharepost about suppliments and natural remedies here that is worth reading. In this post, Jennifer talks about Slipperly Elm bark.
Here is an excerpt: "Slippery elm also contains a high amount of antioxidants and it is thought that those antioxidants may also offer some protection to the digestive tract. While the research into slippery elm looks promising there is not enough information on its safety and benefits to warrant its use across the board."
If Slipperly Elm contains a high amount of antioxidants and there is a possibility that anti oxidants offer some protection to your digestive tract, then it makes sense to ask your doctor if glutathione might be beneficial in your case.
Good luck and stay in touch! Let us know how you are doing and what your doctor suggested.

Hi Emelissa!
I have tried to locate some information about glutathione and GERD but I am not finding alot. I did run across a study that suggested that a certain percentage of people who develop Barretts Esophagus have a loss of glutathione associated with the condition.
I have asked the community managers to put this question to the experts. What for an answer in the next couple days.
Stay in touch and let us know how you're doing!
