Has anyone tried Kijimea IBS medication?

Sounds new to me. Saw ad in local paper.

Found this review google.co.uk/amp/s/www.colo...

Looks amazing but until it's on the shelves at boots or Lloyd's chemist I'd stay well clear personally

It’s also quite expensive as they recommend 2 per day for 8 weeks.

The "clinical study" was in 2011, involved only 122 people and has not been replicated since. 60 people got the Kijimea and 62 got a placebo. Some of the Kijimeas saw improvement, but so did some of the people getting the sugar pill they thought was Kijimea!

I'd wait for better quality research before you buy this stuff. Some gastro-enterologists suggest you'll get a better result from probiotics combining a mixture of bacteria, rather than a single strain such as Kijimea's Bifidobacterium bifidum.

I note comments above. Interesting. I have been supplying updates on my experience with the product for the last 3 weeks . I cannot say it is a cure but it has changed things . you might wish to read .

I certainly think it has helped me although agree that it is expensive.

May I ask Zootopain where the clinical information was obtained , I was not aware of this.

Cheers

Thanks for your feedback. I have onion, garlic and alcohol triggers so maybe not for me judging by your comments. Will be good to see where you get to in 8 weeks as recommended.

Hi philward,

Thanks for reply. I would say I have similar triggers . Not too sure why you think not for you though. I assume you would avoid triggers in any case. I think that I was trying to say that if you were on kimijea and still ate the trigger foods ie proceeded to eat garlic and onions, then you might still experience an IBS attack . So not a magic cure .

If you don't get IBS at all , by eliminating your triggers then I agree there would be little point in you taking kimijea . There would really be no need !

Hope this explanation of my comments on triggers is now clearer

Cheers
