Hello,
It is advisable in constipation patients. other uses like weight loss, reduce cholesterol and cardiac protection.
But during duodenitis this treatment is questionable. Please consult your gastroenterologist he does endoscopy for possible causes of duodenitis like giardia infection and treats you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
