What is the best probiotic supplement for IBS D available in the UK ?

[Whoopdedoo]

Remember that everyone’s gut is different. I have taken 3 for long periods over the years, Symprove was good. Each one improved my symptoms a little. 5 months now on Alflorex. It is really easy to take, not as expensive as some and has reduced the amount of Imodium I take. Stick with it for 12 weeks, whichever you pick. Good luck.

Thank you . Did you try Bio-Kult ?

[Whoopdedoo in reply to hello9090]

I tried to only try products that had been tested in a Hospital.

Hi ,

Using Alforex do the symptoms get worse before they got better,my problem is the urgency to use the loo after having a meal

Thanks

I have IBS-D also. It has greatly reduced my reliance on Imodium. I was averaging one per day now it’s around one a week. I’ve had it over 30 years so wasn’t expecting a cure and I still don’t do wheat or dairy. But been really pleased

Thank you for your reply,however when you first took the Alforex did your symptoms get worse?

Hi. I have IBS, IBD and have been taking Bimuno every day since I saw it on a TV programme a few months ago. It was on a programme about sleep and helped Michael Moseley, the presenter, with his sleeping problems. As I have problems sleeping too I decided to try it. It is not actually sold as a sleep aid but is a pre biotic, not pro,to help with gut problems. So I thought definitely worth trying as might help with my IBD.

I now take it every day and have found it has made a huge difference to me, with much less bloating, wind and stomach cramps. It’s worth a try for a couple of months to see it it works for you.

I suffer with Ibsd and have been taking Bimuno powders for 3 months, and I am finding a big improvement, I only get bloating and gas if I eat all the bad things. Highly recommended.

[hello9090 in reply to Lumpyannie]

Did it help on loose stools?

[Lumpyannie in reply to hello9090]

Absolutely as I explained the only time I get loose stools is if I eat or drink

the wrong things such as red wine or curry, and that is expected.

I would not ever want to be without it now, and it is well worth trying.

I use bioglan flora.... 20billion. It really good as it got a few different types of probiotic in there and it works a treat. If not i use cytoplans, they use all no added, ie no gluten no dairy. Blah blah so there good to and they do one with about 7-9 different pro and pre biotics. I also use there cyto digest enzyme which has been blessing i seem to b able to eat better and not get indigestion or upset stomach anymore as it breaks down the fat and hard to digest foods.

I am gluten intolerant though so thats helped cutting all the bread and stodge from diet... all healthy veg fruit and meat for me

Alflorex is working well for me so far! I hope it doesn’t get worse because right now I’m perfect on it, time will tell but it’s worth a try! Apparently it sends the beneficial bacteria to the places in the intestine that need it rather than the whole bowel, it’s pretty good stuff!!
