I think someone tried it recently and said it was basically useless, unless I'm thinking of something else altogether.

Has anyone used "Digestive Advantage IBS" tablets and if so did they work for you so that you could eat anything you want and still feel good? Their promo says take one or two per day and then you can eat a regular diet.




Berni, welcome! Good question.
I think someone said it helps (I think it's a combination of fiber and probiotic), but it definitely does NOT allow you to eat anything you want and still feel good. Unless your IBS symptoms are still very very mild. That makes it sound like a cure and there is no cure. IBS is a chronic illness. It never goes away. It can be controlled and managed but it's always there.

Thanks. I thought it sounded too good to be true. I just found this website a few weeks ago and am off to a fairly good start with Citrucel, Heather's eating plan, and Imodium as needed. Feeling a lot better already, after 15+ years of D, it has been a God-send.

Berni, I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better already. Yes, Heather is an absolute angel! She has helped SO many people.
