IBS Diet Tip: Digestive Advantage

"Digestive Advantage" is the first pill that I've ever tried to treat IBS (although this isn't a drug, it's a 'dietary food'). I just started taking it this week and I thought I'd talk about my experiences with it here so that you can decide for yourself if it's worth a shot.

I've never really tried any real medicines for IBS. Since irritable bowel syndrome isn't as well understood as some sicknesses, I've always been skeptical about any medicines on the market.

The warnings
One thing I didn't like when reading the outer label is that "upon initial use, product takes 7 to 14 days to take effect. Some gas & bloating may occur during first few days as your system adjusts." I like instant gratification, so the 7 to 14 day thing was a bit of a put-off. But then the gas and bloating warning kind of ticked me off. I mean, that's one of the things we're trying to cure.

Impressions so far
I've been taking it for about 3 days now, and yes there is a bit of gas. But really not that much. In fact, it was about as much gas as I usually have.
One thing I like about this stuff is you don't have to take it right before eating or anything like that. I like that it's a once a day thing that I don't have to put too much thought into it.

So we'll have to see how it works.
