Ashwagandha

[Farooqji]

A powerful herb for improving muscle strength but creates stomach problems especially gas (belching and bloating ) Tried to reduce it by taking ginger powder. it has subsided the problem to some extent. Has anybody some suggestions?

Beano/alpha galactosidase works very well for gas and bloating. This is what they add to the Syncolein product for that very purpose.

thanks a lot

This house brand is significantly cheaper than the name brand and it appears that it only takes one capsule of the house brand whereas it takes two of the Beano per dose making the house brand cheaper still. Same active ingredient, alpha galactosidase.

Are you taking it with iboga? Did you use it by itself before? Is there any difference?

Thanks.

I have been using it for the last 1 year

My husband takes Ashwagandha in capsule form but it doesn't cause gas and bloating......the main culprit for that is Mannitol - the effects from that on the stomach are just awful, even with half a teaspoon which is nowhere near enough. Have just received some nasal spray bottles so my next plan (when hubby gets over his sciatic pain) is to dissolve the Mannitol in water and squirt it up his nose!

Thanks for sharing. I too take mannitol, that may be the reason
