I’ve experimented with two options so far, but both increased my bloating. I suspect it might be due to histamine sensitivity or a die-off reaction, though I’m uncertain. Does anyone have suggestions or tips on what ingredients to prioritize or steer clear of?
I take Visbiome. It appears to be effective for me, although it is quite pricey.
Try Align for 60 days initially; it’s well-known for helping with constipation. I suggest testing single strains for 30-60 day intervals to identify what truly aids your recovery.
Consuming 8 tablespoons of butter daily will resolve your constipation issues.
I’ve spent years trying various probiotics, but they either fail or make me feel awful. Now, I use 3mg of Trulance roughly three times a week. It’s the only thing that gives me a sense of being normal again.
Personally, I’ve found the Seed probiotic to be very beneficial.
Try Bifidobacterium Lactis HN019, like the one found in Life Extension’s Bowel Regularity. You can thank me later.
Have you discussed Linzess with your physician? It really transformed my IBS-C management. It isn’t a laxative and isn’t habit-forming.
Consider grass-fed organ meat supplements; they were effective for my sister.
Linzess is primarily indicated for constipation caused by opioids. I’m unsure if it’s available outside the US, and it’s quite costly without insurance coverage. I can’t recall the generic name immediately. Trulance is more commonly prescribed for IBS-C, with the generic name being ‘Plecanatide.’ Actually, the generic for Linzess is ‘Linaclotide.’ Since I’m in the US, I’ve only dealt with getting medications from Canada. Some pharmacies there will process legitimate prescriptions if they are faxed over. Many Canadians spend their winters here in the south. You should consult a doctor soon to avoid a potential bowel obstruction or surgery. It’s a serious situation, so please get medical help. If you’ve had abdominal surgery before, adhesions could be causing a blockage.
Usually, these problems stem from diet; if you address the underlying cause, you won’t require a probiotic.
Research Dr. William Davis and the L. Reuteri probiotic. He has many YouTube videos explaining its benefits for SIBO and gut health. Most people are currently deficient in it, though it used to be common in our systems. His method involves creating a fermented yogurt using one capsule, fermenting it for 36 hours. This process doubles the bacteria every 3 hours, resulting in a 300 billion count product that is more therapeutic than a pill. Definitely check out his approach.
