Are you more hungry since you've been taking DA? I have been like a bottomless pit all week. I don't know if my food is moving through faster or what.

I have definitely felt different but in a good way. I think you are right food is moving at a quicker more normal rate now and I am wanting to eat more. Before when I was so C for weeks I was so bloated and just felt like I was filled to the brim so I hardly ever felt "hungry." I think just getting used to it will take a while but I think I will be able to if it keeps working.  So is it working well for you still??

Yes, still working. We'll see what happens later. I ate a few bites of chili today. It was sooo good and so hard to stop eating. Hamburger is my big trigger food.

For those of you who responded to this thread a couple of months ago, are you still taking DA and is it still working?
If it's still working, what types of food you able to eat that you couldn't before? Veggies? Dairy? Beef?
I've had my free sample on my counter for a couple months now and am once again thinking of taking it, especially now that I'm a lot more stable (but I'm still waiting until after next Wednesday because I really don't have time for my body to mess with me or to have gas until Wednesday at about 5PM!)
Thanks!

I started taking DA for IBS and DA for Gas Prevention during my eights month of pregnancy. I'm IBS-C. The moment (almost literally) that I gave birth of my son, my IBS symptoms have cleared up, for lack of a better term. My son is now 12 weeks old. I also take GNC's Papaya Enzymes. That combination has worked for me for four months and I can eat anything. So I don't know if it was the DA/Papaya or the hormonal changes in pregnancy/birth that has helped me.
ETA: My symptoms were constipation, abdominal pain and severe bloating.

Did they work for you during the pregnancy?
Are you using the ones with artificial sweetener?
My guess would be the hormones. Did you have IBS before you were pregnant? You are so lucky Jules! My dream is to be able to eat whatever I want again!

Hi There, I am Jen.
I am just new to IBS-C (lucky me) ughh. I have had it going on about 4 months, serious so far. I was put on Zelnorm and have been on it about 1 month. I noticed when I had an attack, it seemed to stop working. I have been religious with acacia fiber too, but I feel Zelnorm may stop working all together. How long were you on it until it stopped. Also, I want to get my hand on Digestive Advantage. Thanks

I had IBS-C for about three years prior to becoming pregnant. Pregnancy made my IBS horrible!! I'm not sure what's in my DA artificial sweetener-wise, I just buy what's on the shelves...
Oh, and I meant to say that I had started taking DA starting my eighth month of pregnancy. I wish I had found it sooner!

Both bad for IBS tummies. This company is now promoting a product for arthritis, Psoriasis, Toenail & Foot Treatment, Toenail Fungus Treatment, Crohn's and Colitis, gas, and lactose intolernce.
It just makes me leery that one company claims they can treat so many different medical conditions.
I'm just if the ones who feel better on DA really are feeling better for another reason, and assuming it's the D.A.
It just doesn't make sense that a company who puts out multiple products which contain artificial sweeteners, which are known IBS triggers, can do so much for IBS when the top researchers haven't even been able to make a drug or a product that helps.
At any rate, I'm glad you have found freedom from this painful, life altering condtion. I would take anything if I would feel better. Take care and keep us updated on your success.
