Customer Reviews of Digestive Advantage Intensive Bowel Support, 96 Counts Capsules
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.
Customer Review: It has worked wonders for me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've suffered from IBS since I was a child (over 40 years now). Back then it was called a `nervous stomach'. For me, a typical IBS episode would be something like this: Out of the blue I'd have a nasty cramping attack. Then within about 20 minutes I'd have to go to the bathroom resulting in diarrhea. Over the next couple of hours I'd repeat this cycle 2 or 3 more times.
In the best of times, I'd have an attack maybe once or twice a month. During the worst period (about 5 years ago), I was having attacks 2 to 3 times a week. My IBS is definitely stressed related and can also be triggered by diet (i.e. sodas, which I gave up 5 years ago, ice cream, and greasy, fried foods).
I've been using this product for a year now and haven't had a single IBS attack. Currently, I am going though probably the most intense stress of my life and yet no IBS incidents. Even when I've splurge on my trigger foods, it has not induced an attack. I never expected it to work this well, but I'm certainly glad it has. The one drawback is I may no longer be able to use my IBS as an excuse for not taking my wife to Europe.
Customer Review: Works for Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I went through a lot of different "home treatments" and nothing seemed to really work for my IBS-D. I began taking this about 10 months ago, and although I was doing better, I still had episodes about three-four times a month. I went to see a doctor about six months ago who recommended adding Metamucil (or some type of fiber) to the mix. I really didn't think it would help -- after all, I wasn't exactly having trouble going, the frequency and pain associated with it were the problem. Anyway, I bought the Metamucil capsules (not the chewable ones, the pills) and started taking two of those with the Digestive Advantage every day. Somehow the combination of the two has worked wonders for me. I went several months without having any kind of diarrhea, and in the six months I've been using this combo of medications, I have probably only had diarrhea two or three times. Basically, it's happened so little I don't even really remember when I have it. For lack of a better way to describe this, I think it has "cured" my IBS-D. If this has worked for me, maybe it will work for others.
