Customer Reviews of Digestive Advantage Intensive Bowel Support, 96 Counts Capsules
Customer Review: Have IBS??? This Will help!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have "suffered" from several digestive problems including IBS for six years & have been an out patient at UNC Hospital's GI clinic for five years... with little relief. Finally, did some serious research on my own & found Digestive Advantage IBS, read the reviews & tried it. It really does help & given more time, the product may do even more (have been taking for three weeks). But!!! You must be ready to stay away from all coffees, sodas & chocolate and all foods that cause a spasmodic colon (IBS). Buy a copy of Eating for IBS: 175 Delicious, Nutritious, Low-Fat, Low-Residue Recipes to Stabilize the Touchiest Tummy by Heather Van Vorous, which is much more than a "cook book". This is a great source & nutritional guide for anyone with IBS, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Lactose Intolerance & other digestive disorders. Also, check out another great nutritional source Gastro Intestinal Health a Self Help by Steven R. Peikin, MD. And try the Peppermint Gels by NOW Foods - (181mg - 90 Softgels). All have made IBS much easier to live with & manage. Wish that I had done this five years ago... Many thanks to Amazon.com and the folks who rate these products!Customer Review: Maybe not for everyone, but it worked for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
About 4 years ago I was put in the hospital with a severe infection, which was treated with a high dose of the antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin. Shortly after that, I started having severe stomach pains after every meal. My doctor thought it was all in my head, so this went on for over a year. Finally, I was diagnosed with IBS and put on a small doseage of Hyoscyamine to stop the stomach contractions. This didn't help very much, but I couldn't deal with going to my doctor anymore who thought I was just a headcase.
I started hearing a lot about probiotics, so I read a little bit about them. They are supposed to replace the good bacteria that antibiotics kill in your digestive system. Since I can trace the start of my symptoms back to the antibiotics, I definitely wanted to try some since this made sense. I tried Align first because I had a free sample, but it looked a little expensive, and I didn't think it worked that great (granted, I was only on it a week). I ordered these from Amazon based on the reviews and price. It worked! I have an occassional flare up if I am very stressed, but NOTHING like it was before. Sometimes I forget to take it because I feel so good, but I'm usually reminded in a couple of days that I'm not actually cured.
Anyway, it did work in my case, but I'm sure it won't for everyone. I'd say it is definitely worth giving a shot though!
Customer Review: Fantastic Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have suffered from IBS for about 30 years, with very little relief from any remedies tried or from doctor's prescriptions used. I became afraid to go out to restaurants with my co-workers or family and only felt really safe in my own home. Traveling meant seeking out the availability of restrooms wherever we stopped to eat or sightsee. I could not get into situations that kept me from being able to access a restroom in a hurry. It affected how my husband could make plans, also.
I heard about Digestive Advantage IBS and decided to send for a free sample. Since the sample did not have any ill effects, I decided to purchase the product and try it for awhile. I fully expected less than desirable results, because I had tried so many things in the past.
I cannot tell you in words what this product has meant for me. It sounds cliché, but I do have a whole new life. I am now unafraid to make luncheon dates and I can shop and travel without the constant dread of an emergency. I have lost the sense of fear in living a normal routine in public. What used to be uncounted trips to the restroom (many because of fear of "possible" problems) have ceased. I now can go out and relax and enjoy occasions. My husband is relieved, too.
I certainly can recommend this product without any reservations. I'm only sorry I didn't find it earlier.
Customer Review: This is a Miracle for me!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the gamut of gas, bloating, irregular bowel habits & have been to a digestive specialist for several years with no help at all. He ordered a medication that made me sick as could be...so I stopped that. On top of IBS, I have recurring kidney stones & between the two problems, I had times of such pain I would be bent almost double. When I went places, I had to take a handful of the strong Mylanta Gas tablets just in case...used them often to feel some better.
Then 2 months ago, a friend told me of this product & how it had helped her. I got some & WOW...what a difference in my life now!! One tiny pill each morning before breakfast & I'm off to a productive day with NO discomfort!! I can hardly believe this medication can make this difference. I continue to watch what I eat which I think is an essential part of handling IBS. Most of us who have this problem have sensitive stomachs & should avoid trigger foods (onions in any form are usually one of the culprits, for instance). As an R.N. I know that food allergies can also be triggers so I would hope any IBS sufferers would avoid any foods they might suspect...it's not worth it! These caplets work so completely for me in that I can now eat without any discomfort. It's a whole new life for me now & believe me, I'm keeping a supply of this medication on hand, always!
Customer Review: Product name seems to have changed.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wanted to bring this to the attention to the Amazon community. If you visit the Digestive Advantage website site, it appears they changed the name from Irritable Bowel Syndrome to Intensive Bowel Support. [...]
If you click on the product (32 or 96 capsule box) then click the image for Intensive Bowel Support, it actually takes you to the old packaging picture for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Appears they are trying to target a large demographic with 'bowel support.' I noticed the review prior mentioned getting a different name producted, hence the Amazon statement that this is under review.
If you have a box of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome around like I do, and read the ingredients on the back, compared to the listed ingredients on the 'Intensive Bowel Support' product, they are identical.
Been using this for about 6 months now, went from 3-5 episodes of IBS-D per week to 1 ore less. Took me about 3 weeks for the gas / bloating to full alleviate after starting, but boy has my life changed. I no longer shy away from going to the movies or out after dinner fearing my IBS-D will plague me. It's completely changed my social life.
