Before taking Ibsacol I tried every new IBS product I read about to no avail, all medical tests I had came back negative for any reason to my persistent symptoms of intense cramping, nausea, bloating and extreme urgency to empty my bowel, sometimes I would be on the toilet for up to 2 hours of excruciating pain. I would mostly get these symptoms anywhere from twice a month to once a week I’ve had IBS since I was 17 (now 34) it usually came on about ½ - 1 hour after eating main meals or it could also be stress related by worrying about it and hoping I wouldn’t get it if I was out, occasionally I would be woken by it in the middle of the night.

Going to restaurants or concerts was definitely out of the question, infact I always had to ask if there was a toilet nearby before I would agree to go out anywhere (something which has annoyed my husband and family for years and has had a huge impact on my social life which was basically non-existent) I stumbled across Ibsacol while searching for cures on the internet and always sceptical about the next wonder product I decided to give it a go purely because of the testimonials people had written about Ibsacol as their stories sounded just like mine.

To my absolute delight (and that of my family) I have finally found my “miracle cure”!!!!! I started on a higher dose of 3 capsules 3 times daily then slowly decreased over time. I still had a few bouts of my symptoms but definitely less frequent and less intense. I am now only taking 2 tablets once a day with one magnesium tablet and my symptoms have all but disappeared, although if I know I’m going out or away on holiday I usually increase the dose again for a while.

This Christmas was actually the first time in 16 years where I’ve actually stayed in a camping ground and used the communal toilet facilities, something I would most definitely not had done if it weren’t for Ibsacol. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, don’t ever stop making it.
