Phillips'Colon Health Daily Probiotic Capsules, 4-in-1 Symptom Defense to help defend against Occasional Gas, Bloating, Constipation, and Diarrhea, Daily Supplement, 60 Count

My husband has been taking Phillips' Colon Health Daily Probiotic for a few years now, and it's been a huge help. It’s great for supporting digestion and keeping things regular. We’ve noticed a reduction in occasional bloating and gas. We’ve subscribed to have it sent every few months because it works well and gives us peace of mind.

great product

My product came exactly as ordered at the right price and right on time.

Along with all the other not-so-nice things that have happened as I got into my late 70's, the behavior of my bowels changed dramatically. Diarrhea or near diarrhea and huge amounts of gas occurred most days. My last colonoscopy 4 years ago discovered (and removed) a few polyps, but there was no indication of anything else wrong. When I complained to my doctor that something WAS wrong, he suggested taking Zantac at the end of the day (I already take omeprazole every morning to control stomach acid and have done so for the last 15+ years). The Zantac did nothing. It wasn't until I had to change doctors that a physician's assistant suggested a probiotic. I was skeptical because on my own I had tried the major probiotics (Align and Culturelle) a couple of years ago and they had no effect. But I went ahead and tried one again. It reportedly contained 11 bacterial strains – many more than the others I looked at. Took it for 30 days. Did nothing.Then by pure chance, I happened to be in a store to buy something else and remembered that I was out of probiotic. The store carried Phillips' Colon Health, so that's what I bought. Turns out that for me, this was a MAJOR FIND!!! Over the years, my opinion about probiotics is that they're hit or miss. That is, it's my guess that every individual's intestinal bacteria are somewhat unique. When things go wrong, the bacterial strains required to fix the problem are probably not the same as what someone else needs. So a given probiotic may work for one person and do nothing for another. In any case, it is crystal clear that the makeup of Phillips' Colon Health probiotic (it contains only 3 strains: Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifodobacterium bifidum, and Bifodobacterium longum) is exactly what I needed. It has made a sea change difference in my life. After only 8 days (1 pill/day), the diarrhea and gas were both dramatically reduced, and in the 10 days since (I've taken the probiotic for just 18 days), I'm essentially back to the intestinal behavior I had 5 years ago.Question is, if you're looking for a probiotic, will this work for you? Maybe; maybe not. But based on my experience, I STRONGLY recommend giving this one a try.

This product is very good.

works

I’ve always had a touch of IBS, but (at the risk of tmi) once I entered perimenopause, it started getting worse, though I only recently put all the pieces together to understand what was happening. When I hit actual menopause, it was like a switch went on, and suddenly there were a number of foods that I couldn’t eat without severe gas pain and a number of other symptoms (garlic, onions, ginger, and cauliflower are all prime examples of these foods). Once I did figure out what was happening, I started doing some research, and probiotics came up as helping some people in general, and this particular supplement was suggested in particular. So when I happened to run across it on sale here on Amazon, I decided to give it a try.I’ve been taking it daily for about five months now, and, in addition to identifying and avoiding foods I’ve developed an intolerance for, taking this daily means I don’t feel sick everyday as I was previously. It isn’t a magic formula that lets me go back to eating like I did before my IBS went into overdrive. It does help manage day to day symptoms (I can clearly tell when I miss a day, for example) and it does help mitigate symptoms if I have a small amount of one of the foods on my no-go list.So while this supplement has clearly helped me, and I intend to continue taking it, everyone’s body is different, so your mileage may vary. If you have gut problems, though, I think it’s certainly worth giving it a try.

Best I’ve ever had for digestive and bowel control
