Thanks!

My doctor suggested it as well because I have some malabsorption issues and vitamin deficiencies. However, when I went to purchase it, it was about $73 a bottle and I KNEW I wouldn't like it. I like to eat my breakfast, not drink a gritty, fake fruit flavored protein water. So I never bought it.
Sorry I can't offer much more feedback than that!

Just curious - was your doctor a naturopath, GP or GI doctor?
InflamX is a dietary supplement that contains rice bran (IF) and fructose. It would play havoc with my IBS.

My naturopath prescribed it and I took it for about a month. It didn't help me, and in fact the rice content made me much more C (I am really sensitive to rice). But I don't think it's a bad product and might help others depending on what's going on down there! Here is more info.

No, I should clarify. This is a clinic that deals with issues specific to women and use a natural approach for treatment. They are not doctors, but NP. She is having me try InflamX and a Bifidobacteria & NCFM Acidophilus probiotic.

Thanks for the link!
I've only bee trying it for a few days.
The first day I had only 1/2 scoop and it gave me cramps and had run run to the bathroom. The second day I felt Better! I forgot it yesterday and now today....guess what...bloated C! I'm going to try it for a while and see if it helps or not.

it's ok! I don't blame you for not wanting to drink this stuff...........it's horrible tasting and gritty.
I'll let you know if it helps any or not.

I think you are right about this product making C worse. I'm not sure if I have given it a fair try as it has only been a little over a week. How long did you try it?
