Symprove

[Lainy01]

Hi everyone. I am on day 3 of taking symprove and yesterday and today I have had really bad wind. (I have a can of impulse on my desk at work). Lol.

Ive had mild cramps around mid-day and then lots of really unsociable wind for about 4 hours.

I don't know whether to keep taking it or not. I thought it might be the die off period, but ive had that before and this feels different.

Any ideas or advice would be welcome.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please keep taking Symprove. It has been a godsend to me. Some people feel worse before they get better. You can phone them and they are very helpful.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your advice. I have dropped the dose down to 20 today to see how I go.

It has helped me with bowel movements however (I don't want to sound crude), the bm's seem to float on top of the water and it takes about 4 flushes for them to go! Lol. Not quite sure what that means but its certainly different to normal bm's.

Do phone the company for advice. I phoned to ask if it was okay on the FODMAP diet and was assured that Symprove was FODMAP friendly (ref. the gluten) - but I had to stop it after about 10 weeks as I had a nasal allergy to it, which disappeared 3 days after I stopped taking it.

Hi there,

Which symprove are you taking ?

The original flavour ? Or the sweet one ? Mango and passion fruit I believe it is.

If you have issues with digesting certain sugars or fructose malabsorption the sweet one would cause the reaction you are having .

Or at least that was it in my case .

The original flavour is not unpleasant just takes a while to get used to . But as a probiotic it's really good and it does help to gut long term.

Good luck .

Hi. Thanks for your advice. I am taking the mango one. Yeah I was thinking that but I didnt realise there's a plain one. I've just bought another months worth as well. Nevr mind.

Hi lamloum,

Did the flavourless one help you then. I am a bit skeptical.

I have got 3 unopened bottles of fruit one. Do u think symprove will let me exchange them?

Thanks.
