Customer Reviews of Digestive Advantage Intensive Bowel Support, 96 Counts Capsules
Customer Review: Thank You
Summary: 5 Stars
I was beginning to show symptoms of IBS around April 2006. It would often come and go. Around September 2006 I had an acupunture session which cleared it until about two months ago when I experience severe stress and the symptoms never went away. I couldn't eat anything without exhibiting symptoms. I finally went to the doctor again and he prescribed medications which only aggravated the symptoms. While researching online some alternative medications, I came across Digestive Advantage and raced to the nearest Pharmacy. I began taking it immediately. The first symptom that disappeared was the burning feeling in my upper and lower intestines. The gas became a little more severe during the first week. The urgency began to subside during the second week. If I ate organic and soy foods I rarely had urgency, however I still could not eat anything in certain restaurants until the second week and even now certain restaurants and foods still aggravate my stomach. I am able to digest small amounts of milk products like cheese, but have not been brave enough to try milk yet. I still have about a week of the pills to take but the results are truly amazing.
I may need to purchase another months supply since my stomach was so aggravated but at only $10 for a months supply, being able to eat food again and feel such relief it is worth it. I recommend anyone suffering to purchase it and see the difference hopefully you will have the same results if not better. I actually had a Starbucks latte today(with soymilk) with only a little aggravation because of the coffee not the soy
milk. Thank you Digestive Advantage IBS.
Customer Review: This product works for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I wrote a review for this already...? Anyhow, my experience with this product started many years ago and I began purchasing it on a consistent basis from either my local grocery or my local Wal-Mart. Sometimes one or the other store would have a better price or a sale. I thought the value of purchasing this in bulk from Amazon.com was very good. Unfortunately, when I received my package, I noticed that the title of the product listed the capsules in the wrong quantity (96 on the title and 92 on the box). I contacted Amazon and they were prompt in responding with my options. I chose a partial refund, which was also promptly done. I hpoe the confusion has been fixed. For me this product works quite well, helps lessen the severity of my IBS with Constipation symptoms and is really easy to take and seems safer than prescription drugs. I've had IBS with Constipation for over 10 years and aside from trying Prescription Zelnorm (until I lost my insurance), this is one of the few products that make any positive difference. It takes some patience, however, and diligence. Going off this certainly affected me within days, so I try to remember to include this in my limited budget. I don't believe this product would help every single IBS sufferer, but it's a big relief to me and I recommend anyone who is having trouble with their IBS symptoms give this a try. A few months' worth of trying is well worth the minimal cost. I suggest you do talk to you doctor though, because even "medical food" and "natural" medicines can cause issues. I would purchase this from Amazon again.Customer Review: From pain to freedom
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been taking this product for over 6 months now. I have waited to write a review, believing this product is too good to be true. It is not. I have my life back.
I used to have severe stomach pain after eating many things...most things. It was like a terrible pressure, cramping feeling in my upper abdomen. Then my lower abdomen. Even when I was lucky and the pain wasn't severe, it was always there. I had went to various doctors, including three gastroenterologists. None of them could help me. They couldn't find anything physiologically wrong with me. All I know is that I cried myself to sleep at night, almost every night.
I don't know how I came across this product. I think was desperate and searching for cures. I had tried everything from expensive aloe supplements to herbal treatments to probiotics. None of them helped much. Then I tried this. Within a week, I felt normal. I was at the point where I could hardly eat many things including many fruits, salads, and whole grains. I can now eat pretty much what I want (barring a few still ill-tolerated foods like bananas, melons, and avocado). I don't care. I will take it! No more pain after corn, salads, apples, etc. No more constant, nagging gas pain and pressure.
All I know is that this stuff works. I am so sure of it that I am on auto-ship with Amazon. This is a good price and I'll keep ordering it for as long as it's made. Thank goodness for the internet...without it, I would still be searching for answers to my pain and suffering.
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!
