Digestive Advantage IBS
http://www.rofay.com/products_view.asp?pid=9
(I just ran across this on another IBS board that I peruse. Wanted to know if anyone heard of it)
It's finally here! The product of the year. Totally new, Digestive Advantage IBS formula for the dietary management of symptoms related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Digestive Advantage IBS has a full, money back guarantee from Ganeden Biotech - other products don't! See package for details.
Digestive Advantage IBS is effective in multiple ways - providing digestive enzymes, helping to normalizing digestion, and relieve symptoms related to IBS.
Recent research has found that carbohydrate sugars such as lactose and fructose are associated with the symptoms of IBS. The patented cultures in Digestive Advantage IBS help provide the enzymes that are deficient in those with IBS.
Individuals with IBS have had relief of symptoms with antibiotic treatment, leading some to suspect an underlying bacterial cause for some symptoms. Digestive Advantage IBS helps to control and inhibit the growth of pathologic bacteria in the gut.
Digestive Advantage IBS is great for elderly individuals that often suffer from maldigestion and weight loss secondary to loss of appetite and diarrhea.
Digestive Advantage IBS comes as a delicious rasberry flavored chewable tablet.
Digestive Advantage IBS is safe for both children and adults.
Side effects of Digestive Advantage IBS are uncommon. The most frequent side effect is some initial increased "flatuence" for a few days - that resolves. This is probably related to the altering of the gastric flora.
Digestive Advantage IBS is free of animal or diary products, it is kosher (and soon will be under official rabbinical supervision) and free of glutin.

This sounds incredible. I want it! Hmmm . . . what's that expression, "if it sounds too good to be true, then most likely it IS!"? I wonder what's in this stuff. Anyone? Bev.

Here's what's in the "miracle cure":
Digestive Advantage IBS contains: Ganeden Biotech's patented lactobacillus cultures, L-Lysine, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, cellulose, Maltodextrin, Magnesium, Sterate, flavor, and FD&C Blue Lake and Red Sucrose Specs. ( Ingredients from box)
Now one of my problems with this is that there are numerous misspellings and grammatical errors in the ad. I don't think I'd trust a company to make something that I put in my body that can't even spell..........lol.

that's what the main ingredients are. None of these will cure IBS (unfortunately).

I don't understand their logic. If they think inetstinal bacteria is an underlying cause of IBS, why give you a probiotic?

Because they think that bad intestinal flora is the underlying cause of IBS. There has been a theory about this for many, many years...the problem is that not a single study has verified it (and many studies have proven otherwise). The idea that probiotics, which are helpful gut flora, can help IBS symptoms is sound. You do need a good colony of gut flora (and you naturally have this). Antibiotics can wipe out good gut flora as they indiscriminately kill off all types of bacteria - which is why people so often have abdominal side effects from antibiotics. Your body will naturally re-establish good gut flora after a course of anti-biotics, but taking probiotics can help this. Probiotics are also great for inflammatory bowel diseases.
So, the idea that probiotics can help IBS symptoms is true, because probiotics can help reduce gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation as a general rule. They'd be comparable to things like soluble fiber supplements and peppermint tea. Helpful for symptoms, but they're not a cure, as they don't do a darn thing to change the enteric nervous system of the gut (which is what's going awry in IBS).
So far, the only thing which may possibly, permanently, change the gut's nervous system and "cure" IBS is gut-directed hypnotherapy. It's a possibility, not a proven fact.
You can get better probiotics from other sources than this over-hyped brand, and you can get them without the ugly additives. You could also just eat soy yogurt with live cultures.

Ah, darn, no cure. I was going to try this stuff too as I asked for a sample. Now, I don't know if it's a good idea from what you've all said. Bummer.

I was wondering why this didn't help much. I have been taking Jarro-Dophilus supplements twice a day and it has done BUPKUS for my gas and bloating. NOTHING.
