I have IBS-C and have been taking Primal Defense for a month. I have not noticed a big difference in how I feel or how food reacts with me, but I was told that you must be patient enough to get through the 90-day period of taking the high dosage of pills (up to 12 per day). After the ninety days, you go back down to thee pills per day as maintenance. It's fairly expenseive at $45 per bottle, but I'm desperate enough to try anything. I've also started a doctor prescribed restrictive/elimination diet, and have been on that for six days now. I'm feeling somewhat better, but I get plagued with severe and painful gas and bloating. I've just bought some fennel tea and activated charcoal tablets and I'm going to try those also.

I also drink about four ounces of aloe vera juice per day and that seems to "soothe" my system a bit. It's healthy for you, so if it doesn't help my IBS, I'm not doing any harm to my body. I get the GNC brand that is 10 calories per eight ounces.
