On any given day you talk to me, I feel like i’ve got a low grade flu. Most don’t realize because, outside a select few, it’s not something I advertise. It’s a stomach problem I’ve had for years, I’ve bellied up to several different physicians repeatedly, and it’s just sort of become a part of my life as it’s never really gotten better than tolerable.<br /><br />I should point out the line of tolerable keeps nudging higher.<br /><br />Anyways, a friend in the medical community recently suggested a probiotic to me. I must admit, I was skeptical. I’ve tried them before with negotiable results and usually get nothing to ad much bad as good.<br /><br />Still, to feel like I did when my stomach was half its age, I’ll try anything - so, I ordered it.<br /><br />I’m 1 week in. That’s all. Not far enough to call it a success, not far enough for a change of life story, but far enough to say I’ve had (aside from one bad night) 1 week of feeling good.<br /><br />Funny thing is, at first, I thought something was wrong. I told my wife, “it’s weird, i can’t feel my intestines moving, my stomach digesting, and there’s no nausea.” To which my wife responded, “honey, it’s been so long since you’ve felt normal you’re having trouble recognizing it.”<br /><br />That’s a hell of a problem to have.<br /><br />So, aside from my stomach issues, let me tell you about the other side effects…<br /><br />My skin is healthier. It’s winter and in dry air winters i get dry skin patches that only highly medicated lotions with cancer warning labels can cure (yay). Without using any lotion this week, because I just happened to be out of lotion by weird luck of the draw, my skin started to get better. This typically only happens when I start getting sun, and I haven’t gotten any due to a school project (I’m a 36 year old father who works a professional full time job going back to school full time to further by degree, time’s a bit of an issue).<br /><br />I’m sleeping better, I attribute this to the stomach changes though.<br /><br />I feel most emotionally calm.<br /><br />Hay fever is all around me, and I’m not sneezing, My eyes aren’t watering. I’m just… here. Smiling. (VERY ODD, I’m usually the first one suffering and I’m not on anything other than this).<br /><br />That’s it so far. That’s all I’ve noticed.<br /><br />Long term- maybe this is placebo effect, but then why did this never happen on previous probiotic trials? Maybe this is real? Maybe this is temporary.<br /><br />Honestly, I could care less. I’m just happy it’s now.

I have been on probiotics long before they have become popular. This is the best out there.<br />No refrigeration..a big plus+<br /> All I can say is I am lactose intolerant and have Crohns....I can eat a pint of ice cream on this<br />and have no cramps!

This was doctor recommended and has worked fantastic for me. I began with the 100 billion dose for 1 month and then was able to go down to this as a maintenance dose! I highly recommend taking a good, high quality probiotic daily. I tried many other brands for less expensive prices, but this one worked! That's the point, scientific research backs this product, not the marketing bandwagon.

I referred a friend to this product-- she experienced chronic candida overgrowth for 3 years with excessive bloating and difficult digestion of anything with gluten. She never had relief until she took this particular probiotic.

I have been using this to help fix dysbiosis caused by IBD, it works great! I'm experiencing almost no gas, bloating, or anything of the sort like I used to. Great product.

My doctor recommended this product and sold it to me at a higher price than what was available on Amazon. I was glad to save money an effective probiotic that doesn't have to be refrigerated.
