Alflorex

[JanetJAM]

Just after a bit of advice. I’ve had IBS for a number of years and a couple of years ago I stopped eating gluten it helped a lot but the last 6 months ir so I’ve been having some urgency and loose stools not diarrhoea thankfully. I have been reading about Alflorex and thinking of getting some is anyone taking this just wondering if it might help me. Thank you.

I have been taking Alflorex to try to improve my intestinal flora as it's always low on healthy bacteria. But it doesn't seem to be making any difference. I can't say if it will help with bowel movements but healthy gut/bacteria and the bowel are connected I think. It won't do any harm for you to try for a month which is just one packet. I'm going to try other probiotics.

Good morning, I have been on this about a week, haven't noticed any improvements but I think I would probably need to be on it a while. I do know of people that have beeb greatly helped by the H&B probotics, so that is what I will be using next for the next four months and see if there is any noticeable improvement

thank you they are out of stock in H&B so will try somewhere else see how I go I think it’s worth a try.

I tried it for 3 months but to be honest it was no different to other probiotics which cost a lot less than Alflorex does. I definitely did not see any improvement but one thing I have noticed is that you have to keep changing probiotics to gain any benefit from them.

I thought it was just me that thought that.

I have been taking Alflorex for a long time now. I have tried many probiotics over the years and it is the one that has worked best for me plus there is real science behind it in terms of helping people with IBS (particularly if related to a gut bacterial imbalance). I swear by it. Everyone is different though so it is down to a trial.

thank you I’m going to give it a try.

I had ibs most of my adult life. Tried various things including Fodmap diet probiotics etc. Then went 100% Gluten free and hey ho things improved significantly. But still had a few problems, had a blood test for cross reactive foods and found dairy to be a big problem. So went dairy free too. This is a very restrictive diet and is difficult to be motivated all the time, but I did and still am!

Nearly 3 years on and my digestive health is good, so no medication, just wish I had sought out the nutritional therapist years ago.

We are all different but for me a life time of thinking and worrying maybe onions, maybe too much fibre etc. If only I had known sooner. Investing in knowledge and then the determination to carry outcomes through is a no brainer for me.

Good luck with your search for answers.
