IBS is so complex you have to try lots of different things to find out what is actually affecting you in the first place. I also have GERD and a hiatus hernia, just to make life interesting, so I have to take esomeprazole to control that. Wednesday March 8 marks International Women’s Day and ahead of the event, we spoke to Alison Winger, whose work with Novozymes One Health has put her on the cutting edge of the field of STEM. You're right though about diet, we've pin pointed certain culprits that make her bloated more than others. My GP recommended this highlighting the fact that it's recommended and supported by gastroenterologists.

We spend many years observing and testing them in real people to ensure they deliver the precise effects needed and that they meet our rigorous safety standards. All you doctors, scientists, please find a cure for us, so very many of us are living miserable lives. B. infantis 35624, the strain in Alflorex, is one of the few products that has been truly developed on a scientific basis and tested in high quality clinical studies to help the symptoms of IBS.

I took one capsule a day for two weeks (terrible tummy rumbles at first, even woke me up) then spoke to the Clinician from Alflorex and she told me to cut down to one every third day, but think I will have to give up as not feeling any better. I discontinued taking the probiotic and it has taken 5 days for the cramps to ease and diarrhea to subside. She agreed it can cause the symptoms to worsen initially and suggested taking just a tiny dose and then gradually increasing. It's so depressing when we are led to believe something could well bring about a big improvement (I've been here many times before) and yet again - no help.
