How effective is this for IBS-C (constipation)?

I haven't found they help with constipation. I have Crohn's. My doctor recommended I try these to replace Librax which I had taken for years. I haven't had a recent flare of Crohn's so I assume they are as effective. My only complaint is the aftertaste. Moments after taking them, you taste peppermint. Not unpleasant; just odd.

Not by itself, but used with a probiotic and fibercom. It has changed my life..

They will not help you with the constipation, you will still have to use laxatives or fiber. What it does help with are abdominal cramps and bloating.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne

From what I know, it helps to clean out the intestinals. Hubby was using it for constipation. Worked for the first few days but after that, BMs were sporadic and toward the end of the bottle, we decided not to buy it again.

I really can't tell if it's doing anything. I usually do a quick detox. I take 1 tbsp every 2 hours for one day with lots of water. And then I hope it's eliminating the toxins :). I haven't been sick at all or had any health problems. But of course, that could also be attributed to my diet, exercise and the fact that I take my probiotic.

No matter your age, this product is b.s. Our head RN at work said the only effect you're likely to see from this product is constipation. I took it for MONTHS and absolutely nothing happened. waste of money.

I have been using their antibiotic for Lactose Intolerance for years and love it (I dislike Lactaid brand vs. this brand). This product I didn't purchase for myself but it does help someone I know with IBS.

This is the only one I have tried. It works great for me. I was able to maintain my weight loss thru the holidays even when I was not very diet minded. I have lost 25 lbs, stopped for a while and now I am ready to try for more. It does not have any side effects for me and does not upset my digestion. I think it worth a try.

I think so, and the chewable formula seems to work better for me than the caplet form even with IBS person like myself. Hope this help.

well some of the books i have been reading said that it would help absorb into your system better, but i have stop taking this product after 3 months and no more results. i would say i lost 5 lbs total and that was with moderate excersise and trying to not over do it on food.

Yes! This product is phenominal...It has changed my life and that of my wife and son. It is basically good for 3 things: 1) Blood Sugar Regulation; and, 2) Inflammation; and, 3) Constipation. I only take it for inflammation, and it is great for that. It has also increased normal bowel movements, and, we have noticed we don't crave sweets as much. Trust me, if you have any of these issues, you will love it too.

I sufferer from irritable bowel syndrome. I take Imodium AD occasionally to slow me down. I would not consider it fast acting.

There is no connection between this product and bowel movements. This is a probiotic to improve your immune system and help your digestive health. Hope this helps. Sounds like you may be looking for a laxative.

I've been using this stuff for years. Everyone is different but give it at least 1 hour. That is the time I find it takes to fully take effect. Once taken it should make you feel better for at least 24 hours. I suggest increasing fiber in your diet if you take it on a regular basis as it will certainly constipate you. If you have never taken it before, start with 1 or half a tablet just to make sure you do not have a reaction to it. If you are fine I say take at least 2 tablets. I have done 3-4 tablets at once before and suffered no ill effects.

This product does NOT cause constipation. I don't know why they put a picture of the 25 billion if it is a caption for 50 billion. The 50 billion is stronger, better, and more expensive. I love this product and take it every day on an empty stomach with a full glass of water.

I tried green coffee bean extract with very little success,, in 2 months I lost 4 lbs, which I could have done on my own. in 2 months on Garcinia Cambogia I lost 18 lbs, now at 3 1/2 months I have lost 32 lbs. so yes, for me it does work much better.
