Karen (a person from this board) said that she used to have all this trouble with her IBS and then she took this Reliv and it all went away. She could eat whatever she wanted and had no pain - D - bloating or anything. I was skeptical... but I waited it out -- did some investigating. a few other people from the board tried it. SOme of them had more energy - though they did complain of some start up trouble. I thought I could try. So I asked her about it. She gave me her code and I ordered first just the vitamin - then the vitamin and the fiber.
The vitamin powder was okay if I took a very small dose. But it didn't do anything at that dose. Any higher and I got terrible gas and painful bloating from it. The one time I went up to almost full dose I had a full blown attack. I thought well I'll go back down on that and try a small amount of the fiber. I had a full blown attack then too.
I'm talking the typical IBS attack -- where you are in the bathroom - don't know whether you are going to throw up or have D so you have something to cover both ends. You are so hot you think you are going to need air conditioning installed just for you - in the middle of winter.... This wasn't a mild... I don't feel quite myself sickness with a little bit of D.
I kept trying to adjust the dosage for about 3 months total. (I had spent about 100 or so for 2 canisters of Classic and one of Fiber plus a shaker cup and shipping) Then I gave up and just quit. I threw it away and chalked it up to the school of hard knocks.
Then I get these phone calls from this lady -- who tells me Karen got scared away of selling by hard to please people like me and that she used to read her the nasty e-mails she got sent. That I didn't give it enough of a chance -- that I didn't do it right -- that I should try again -- and harder -- that I should have kept going when it hurt and made me sick because that meant it was working. That I just didn't understand those things because I'm not a nurse.
