Hi, are you sure it is called "vogel"? I have never heard of this medication. Just "googled" it, and didn't come up with anything. What is this used for? Sorry, I couldn't be of further help..

I'm your original post, you posted "Vogel" not "Molkoson". Sorry, I was only trying to help.

Eliana - the title said "Molkosan" in the text it says has anyone tried this for bloating/constipation - by Vogel" by Vogel means made by. Not understanding your post if I am honest!

I am somehow not seeing it, but it's okay. Thanks for the clarification, and have a great weekend.

I tried it, unfortunately it didn't do anything for me.

Shame. Gets some good reviews too

Still, no harm in giving it a try. Just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you.

I will give it a go - been into town today to see if I could get it from health food shop but they don't have it in. My only issue is that it says it has bacteria strains in and on researching what found out it is L.Casei - now I love this strain for reducing bloat but I am histamine intolerant and it is a strain you have to avoid - makes you quite ill.. Just as a matter of interest all the time I was out today my stomach was acting up - growling, jumping about that awful feeling you feel you need the loo - since coming home I've taken a dose of Bimuno powder a prebiotic and my stomach feels really happy. I read yesterday that prebiotics are what we need for bloating etc. to feed the good bacteria - I'm not a fan of probiotics with them in but now changing my train of thought and thinking quit the probiotics because you get so many other issues from them and try prebiotics on their own.

Another question is whether probiotics even reach the gut, and whether they colonize it when they get there. A while ago I read the Symprove is one of the few that do both, so I tried the three-month course but haven't noticed any improvement over and above the results of the FODMAP diet (I found a strong reaction from wheat and onions).

Symprove worked for the first four days then got bloat plus it has a lot of added things like absorbic acid and it has barley - I am convinced if I am honest that my bloat is worse since I started taking probiotics - I found originally that by cutting sugar, wheat etc out it reduced then a therapist recommended probiotics and ever since it has been loads worse. I'm not going to take them and see how I get on as I am convinced they give you loads of other issues - one for me seems like they blow my body up - I'm going to give bimuno a go and see how I get on, I also have asked a company about their prebiotic Ecobloom - which also gets good results and see how I go

My only other issue with the Molkosan is whey - not sure how that would affect me but if I am honest had it not been for the L.Casei I'd have been jumping through hoops - still will give it a go but think I'm going to have to order through internet
