Customer Reviews of Digestive Advantage Daily Lactose Defense Formula Capsules, 32-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)

Customer Review: An Honest Caution
Summary: 1 Stars

On August 19, 2010, I went to the doctor. My complaint: constant low-grade abdominal discomfort, six to eight months of continuous steatorrhea, diarrhea about once a week, pronounced weakness and getting worse, fatigue, low dips in blood sugar, seventeen pounds of weight loss, insomnia. The doctor gave me a physical exam and requested several batteries of blood tests. They found nothing.

On the day I went to the doctor, I stopped taking Digestive Advantage (DA) since it was the only variable I had to eliminate. I had been using it for at least two years, and initially, I was as impressed as all the reviews are here. However, within twenty-four hours of stopping it, I noticed an improvement in my steatorrhea. I remained off of DA and continually improved. Now, on September 7, 2010, I am gaining weight, my strength is back, I have no abdominal discomfort, and everything is improving. I feel like a new man. I have normal poops again!

For me, long-term use of DA became a health liability. If you are using DA or planning on trying it, please keep my symptoms in the back of your mind. Maybe DA will only affect me in this manner, but I feel obligated to warn others.

I will no longer use it.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 4, 2010: It has been 46 days since I quit taking DA. There has been no return of symptoms, and my health is great. Consequently, there is absolutely, positively no doubt that long-term use of DA interfered with my ability to properly digest food. Also, it is only now that I recognize just how sick I was. The digestion problems came on so gradually that it took me months to notice the full extent of the sickness and several more months to finally suspect DA.

I will be writing a letter to the manufacturer and to the FDA. In my experience, long-term use of DA will inhibit your digestion and make you very sick.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 8, 2010: So I just learned that there actually is a condition called Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). It is a condition in which too much bacteria forms in the small intestine, and it interferes with digestion. The symptoms? Everything I listed in the beginning of this review.

DA is a bacteria (bacillus coagulans). You take it everyday. I'm no doctor, but it is no stretch of the imagination that DA caused me SIBO. You can read about SIBO here: [...]

By the way, I emailed the company on October 4. They have not responded. As for the FDA, I forgot: they do not regulate dietary supplements. It is a buyer-beware market.

Please beware.

Dual-Action System: Enzyme Plus Probiotics

This Schiff supplement combines lactose enzymes and probiotics in a dual-action formula that can help break down lactose to aid in the digestion of milk protein. This formula helps prevent gas, bloating, and occasional diarrhea that many people with lactose intolerance experience after eating dairy.

BC30: The Probiotic that Survives

Schiff Digestive Advantage contains a unique strain of probiotic called BC30. BC30 is protected by an outer layer protein which ensures its survival in significant numbers to reach the digestive tract where it can have the greatest health benefit. It then can take its place in both the small and large intestine where it promotes digestive and immune health. BC30 cells have much higher survival rates than some other probiotic capsules, pills, and yogurts and are also prolific colonizers.
