Atrantil

[Gardener]

Has anyone tried Atrantil and are there any bad side effects please?

[Meleber]

Never heard of it but interesting however not cheap product. Seems to work in the small intestine and not in the colon? Might be worth trying depending on your symptoms. They warn for the possible Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. Not sure if it's possible to lower the recommended dosage with this product. I'm currently using a probiotic and a yeast for my bowel problems. Can't tell if it's really beneficial for me, have to take it a bit longer, but experienced the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction when taking the 'recommended' dosage. This was way to high for my body.

Yes agree, I usually have to take a smaller than recommended dose of anything to start with. If it works, particularly on bloating that would be wonderful!

I have used it - I really was sold on the concept of it but in the end it really did not do anything for me specifically. I really have bad bloating issues daily and it claims to really help that but like most things related to my gut issues nothing ever seems to work or it works initially for a week or so to lower symptoms and then even when continuing the supplement etc the symptoms return. Just start with one capsule and then move to two that as I recall is the recommended dose. Ingredients are here: atrantil.com/ingredients-3/ - I cannot find the podcast I listened too where the creator was interviewed but it was interesting. It does feel expensive but I have spent thousands now on things that claim to fix our issues here what is another 40 bucks to see if it works at this point.

If you do have "bacterial overgrowth" pretty sure this is designed to get that under control and there can be side effects from that process it is explained here: atrantil.com/ingredients-3/
