Editorial Reviews
Digestive Advantage IBS is for the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is formulated to manage the full range of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms including diarrhea, constipation, bloating, cramps, and urgency. This unique formulation helps Digestive Advantage IBS normalize the gut and support a normal diet. Digestive Advantage IBS is a caplet taken once per day and provides 24-hour relief to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms. The power behind Digestive Advantage IBS is a patented blend of lactobacillus cultures with an amino acid which facillitates digestion of dairy, fruits, meats, and carbohydrates. Digestive Advantage IBS is unique because it helps to relieve both ends of the IBS spectrum: Diarrhea and Constipation.




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!
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.
Without it, I am really constipated, but with it things work alot better. I use the chewable tablets.
Concurrently, I was also having a problem with psoriasis and eczema on my hands. My fingers would crack and bleed, uncontrollably, and this too caused problems. People were afraid I had some contagious disease! And I was working a retail job, so I was interacting with people and merchandise all day, for which this caused many problems. I had seen a dermatologist for this, and at one point they had put me on Soriatane, which is a very expensive, potent medication. You also had to go in for blood tests regularly because of the damage it could do to your liver, etc. While it DID clear up my hands completely, it also caused my lips to be chapped constantly, so in a strange way it was a trade-off. Loss of insurance (and a lack of Chap-Stick!) made me go off the medication eventually. The problem returned immediately thereafter.
Back to the IBS. . .So one day I was shopping at Costco and suddenly had an IBS attack. As fate would have it, just as I was leaving the restroom thinking "I've got to do something about this!," I made eye contact with a box of these Digestive Advantage IBS tablets. (This is where the love at first sight music would start if this were a movie.)
Needless to say, after only a few days of taking these (I take 2 daily) I noticed that not only did I not suffer from IBS, but the psoriasis and exema on my hands cleared up also!! Since that part had always been somewhat cyclical, I just figured it was a coincidence. But my hands stayed clear. Could it be these tablets helping with that also? After about a month I decided to stop taking them and sure enough, not only did the IBS issues return, but so did my psoriasis. Back on these, and it cleared up again! So for me, this really has been a miracle product. My dermatologist was baffled as to how this could work better than a $200 per month prescription drug, but nevertheless happy for me.
Since I've signed up for the Automatic Shipments from Amazon, which with the free shipping, are cheaper to have them delivered than driving to my local big warehouse store where I was buying these before.
I've sung the praises of these to family and friends to the point that they probably wish I'd shut up about it already, but I'd give these 10 stars if I could, it really has worked that well for me!
UPDATE AUGUST 2008: I've been taking this daily now for a couple of years, and I still have absolutely no cracking or bleeding of my hands. It has kept them clear consistently the entire time and I am still absolutely thrilled with this stuff. THANK YOU GANEDEN!!
I decided to give this product a try after coming across it on the Internet. It was cheap and safe, so I figured I didn't have much to lose.
I am shocked at the difference I have seen after using it for about 5 weeks, and the improvement was almost immediate.
I have had short periods of improvement in the past, so I am hoping that this will continue. But I have been probably 80% better, consistantly, with not a single really bad day in over a month. Given that a "bad day" was fairly common (at least a couple of days a week), this is very encouraging. Even on good days in the past, I still would have discomfort at various times during the day, but since I've been on Digestive Advantage, I have been able to go through most days without paying any attention to my stomach. I havn't felt this way in years!
So, I encourage anyone with IBS to give this a try.
Intestinal Bowel Syndrome. I am 76 and suffered from it for a
very long time. It works beautifully. I,d go to
the ends of the earth" to make sure I have this product at all times.
I tried this stuff immediately when I heard about it - didn't even have any hope of it working - I would literally go through at least 8 - 10 Kaopectate pills a day, which never even helped at all. I had special mixes made up for me at pharmacies, sludge that looked like cement - that never helped. Even when I lived on oatmeal, bananas, everything that they tell you to eat if you have a "tender tummy" - mine was a raging volcano since my teens. I would quiet any doctor that had any advice that I "surely hadn't tried yet" by asking them if and how many times they'd soiled themselves out in public. Gee - now what's your answer? Can't hear you!
To the point - this stuff truly works. Have been using two pills a day for two months now and only had maybe two episodes of diarrhea - with the stomach flu. Other than that - I've eaten every forbidden food - even my beloved mango that I had to give up - and everything is smooth sailing!! MIRACULOUS!!
I looked up each ingredient in it - Lactobacillus yeast; Lysine, An essential amino acid; Malic acid used as a flavoring to make it tart; Plasdone,used as suspending and dispersing agent; and the list goes on, but each ingredient seems to make sense - it has a purpose. I wish I had found it years ago.
About 6 months ago now I discovered this product. I now have totally normal bowel movements, and I have this product to thank for that. I was sick for years, and now it's over, thanks to Digestive Advantage for IBS.
I will say, however, that I've also tried the Gas Therapy (which I was still having), and found 'that' product to be ineffective. Kind of odd to me that this product could be such a miracle, and the other such a dud. What 'does' work to cut smelly gas? Lemon juice. Just discovered that a few weeks ago. Have a few swigs before you eat, and it creates a nice acid environment in the tummy.
If you're still gassy/flatulent, try a product called Devrom. It won't take the wind out of your sails, but takes the funk out of your wind. It's an internal deoderant.
I'd also like to encourage anyone with IBS to check out the possibility that you may have systemic CANDIDIASIS. That's yeast. It'll cause IBS and a host of other very serious problems. You can get books on it right here on Amazon.
So, based on my own truly horrid case of diarrhea-predominant IBS, those are my recommendations: 1. Digestive Advantage for IBS; 2. Lemon Juice before you eat (I just add some to a sugar-free lemonade -- makes it extra tart). 3. Devrom to cut the sulfur/methane content of your gas.
Hope this helps. Good luck, everyone.
I used to have horrible symptoms for almost a year. I thought something was terribly wrong with me. I went to several doctors, all trying various things: food diary, allergy tests, more tests...they all thought I had celiacs disease or some type of food allergy, one doctor said I had IBS. I was tired of doctors not knowing what they were doing and talking about, so I decided to try this when I spotted it while grocery shopping. It took about 1 month to work well and I seriously cannot function without it--which bothers me. I am not the type that likes to take pills all the time. I tried getting off the pills for a while and all my symptoms came back. I then had to start using the product again for a couple weeks before relief was found. But when I think about the price ($80 a year for the pills) and how much just one doctor's visit costs me (more than $100), I am perfectly HAPPY to take one pill a day for as long as I need to in order to have relief from my symptoms then spend several $100 a year on doctors who give me no answers, no relief and just frustration.
It has made such a wonderful difference I'd highly recommended it.
Just one important tip if you have IBS: Start every meal or snack with 1 or 2 bites of a soluble fiber food (carrots, brown rice, potato, etc). It lessens the shock to your digestive "brain" and makes a big difference.
Now the only time I have my old digestive troubles is when I'm under stress, so I exercise and do breathing exercises to try to relax...
I suffered for over a year, trying prescriptions from the doctor that did NOT work at all. After researching my symptoms on the internet, I decided to give this product a try.
It stated that it may take up to a month for the full effects to be realized, but I felt better than I had for a very long time.
I believe all doctors/surgeons should make their patients with IBS, and/or a gall bladder removal, aware of this product.
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.
When I moved overseas to Europe, my IBS became a nightmare. I was sick constantly, having attacks several times a week (IBS-D). I remember thinking that I wish I could go just one week without feeling awful, and looking back, I never had a full week of being normal.
I am an active person- a high level athlete, a person who likes to travel a lot, and a person who loves food. Being limited in all of these things made me SO depressed. Finally, in the summer of 2008, after breaking down crying when I had to leave a nice restaurant with my parents because I was feeling sick, I finally decided I had to do something, or I was going to lose my mind.
I read the reviews on Amazon.com after hearing about this product on another website. I thought I would give it a try. It was a MIRACLE!!! Within just a week I noticed a difference, and after a few weeks I felt completely normal. It was like my life had been restored. I could go places without fear, eat things I loved (I had been living on rice and water for a year trying to keep things under control). It was like a cloud lifted over my life.
Since then, and it has almost been a year, I have not had these problems. I even travelled in Mexico without any bowel problems. I swear by this little pill, and it is worth every penny I paid for it. I hope that I will never suffer again the way I did before. Thanks to Digestive Advantage I feel normal, happy, like I can live my life without fear of being sick!! This is the first time I have ever been inspired to write a review for something, but I want people who read this to give it a try, because never has a simple product changed my life in such a positive way. Don't suffer!! Give this a try!!
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.
