I just started taking Digestive Advantage about a week ago and I absolutely love it so far! I have been so C for years and nothing has ever really helped me not even prescribed Miralax and things like that. I have been eating whatever I want in reason and I have been using the bathroom like 3 times a day, which I cant even tell you the last time I have done that!!:) I hope it keeps working, but if it just works for a little while it is totally worth it to me!

That's great! I just started on it this week. The first couple of days were okay, but I didn't go at all yesterday. I am hoping today is okay.

I hope it works for you because it has worked wonders for me. There has not been a day that I have not gone to the bathroom, and it is so awesome because I was used to just going MAYBE once a week if that. This is definitely something I can get used to!  The side effects say that you can have gas and bloating at first...but man who with C doesn't always have that!!lol

Glad you have had some luck with something. What time of day do you take this and do you take it on an empty tummy?

It really doesnt say that you have to take it at the same time everyday and it also says that some people may need two a day. I have just been taking one pill a day in the afternoon and not particularly on an empty stomach. It usually works before the next morning and I have been to the bathroom EVERY day since I have started to take it!!:) You should really give it a try.

Have you changed anything else? Maybe your diet or something? Or has the only change been taking Digestive Advantage?
So you take a SFS with it? Are you eating IF and whole wheat?
Haa the bloat and gas gone away yet?
I can't tolerate any SFS and nothing has worked for me, including a probiotic and digestive enzymes.
I am at my wits end with all this pain and horrid C!

I have not changed my diet at all. I pretty much eat whatever I want. I am still taking Miralax every once in a while but I am thinking about just getting off of it for a while to see if this Digestive Advan. will just do the trick by itself. I used to take Zelnorm too, but I have completely gotten off of that too.
All I do is just chew up one DA and I go to the bathroom like a normal person. Oh yea, I still have some gas but it's not as bad as it used to be. I def dont feel as bloated and I think that is due to just being able to go to the bathroom everyday and getting rid of the pressure. I would definitely recommend just trying it for a week or two and see if it works. This is the absolute one thing I have found to work without making me cramp up and have D like Zelnorm and laxatives seemed to do to me. Hope it works for you! Let me know!

Cyndy, Yeah, I know how you feel, I'm there too. Say SCgirl,
did the DA atart working the day you first took it? Also,
do the BM's hit you like a ton of bricks, or do you have
plenty of time to hit the bathroom? -Bob

that's wonderful! i've seen it at the drug store (the same people make my once-a-day lactose intolerance pills, bless their hearts), and wondered about it, but i hadn't heard anything about it ever, and was loathe to shell out another ten bucks for something that might or might not work. right before i got diagnosed, the bottom of my bag was a wasteland of immodium, pepto, gas-ex, everything, but of course i'd be out and get an attack and not have anything on me, and rush to the drug store again.
the digestive advantage - is it just for C, or D, too?
