Juvia?

Hi, has anybody in this group tried Juvia? If so did it help and are you still using it?

It sounds quite an interesting concept: its mixture of enzymes etc starts to digest carbohydrates before they hit the intestines. This lessens the chance of food fermenting and helping stop bloating, gas and bowel pain.

The Trust Pilot scores look good but I'd like to of practical experience by the IBS sufferers here.

Thanks.

I saw this mentioned in a post a few days ago & googled it & it's not cheap so I too am interested to see if anyone has tried this.

I have been using it for over 3 months with excellent results. I mostly suffer from IBS C with occasional loose stools. Juvia has changed my bowel habits completely and I now go daily, often twice. It has changed my life, no now stomach or bowel pain.

I'm currently giving Juvia a try. I am gluten sensitive so had initial discomfort but it has subsided since. I take about half the dose and had to build up. The help line was helpful, by the way.I think it has improved bloating and general digestive comfort so I'll continue and monitor. It is currently part of my multi-faceted approach to IBS.

My whole digestion has improved since stopping Omeprazole. I now take nothing prescribed. I weaned myself off the PPI by taking an H2 Blocker for a while.

Hi Orchard33 Can I ask what H2 blocker you are taking & where do you buy it? I have been taking Lansoprazole for about 3 years & would love to stop taking it.

I was taking Famotidine 20mg. It served it's purpose. I feel much better all round for not taking Omeprazol. I now think that Omeprazol is prescribed rather like statins, as a defensive preventative that causes many other problems.

Unfortunately, it's prohibitively expensive as I'm retired so on a low income.

I only started Juvia yesterday so not able to comment yet Perhaps you will let me know how you get on

Fingers crossed it has an impact. Best wishes.

Hello 2 you I haven't heard of this product until I read my latest posts I have looked it up on google 2 see what it is as usual I am still not sure enough about it I have a yakult 1st thing in the morning on an empty tummy along side with my evening primrose oil cod liver 2 co-codamols and anastrazole as well as my allergy tablets I was taking multi-vitamin tablets and was told that the magnesium was not good 4 IBS on this forum the cost of each bottle is about £39 and don't know how long a bottle of it will last ETC but I suppose when we are in this mess with all that we go through we will give anything a go!!! As with me I have had this awful problem 3/4 years and more than fed up 2 the back teeth of it and it forever making us feel like a cripple with ( Oh I am female if that makes sense about the different morning tablets I take ) I have had 2 colonoscopies early 2021 10 days apart then earlier this year a colon scan not that they made a difference as I still got IBS/Divericular Disease when all we want or need is 4 this nasty stuff 2 CLEAR OFF & Leave us alone!!!
