Good Product

I have several things wrong with my gut, inflammatory bowel, dysbiosis, leaky gut, ibs and it causes a severe autoimmune reaction. I need to take probiotics that are actually guaranteed to reach my gut. I took this at just 1/2 the recommended dose as I am taking other strains and my gut is so unhealthy, just about anything shocks my system and causes MAJOR flares. When I flare, it’s a full blown fibromyalgia flare! Yes, my doctor Thinks that my problems are so severe that there actually causing my fibromyalgia! What a connection! I took these religiously for almost 3 weeks and I continually felt better! However, I decided to stop taking these to see if this was TRULY helping me as I am on SO many supplements to try to heal my gut and I immediately had a flare! And for the week I did not take these, I had a constant painful flare! When I have a flair, everything hurts so bad that even clothing touching your skin is extremely uncomfortable! As soon as I started taking them again religiously (I take both the 30 billion and 4.4 billion Dr. Tobias probiotics) and my flare started to calm down and was gone in 3 days! I DEFINITELY won’t be experimenting to see if these work anymore, is that flare was almost intolerable! I have to tell you, I am leaving this review as an on biased review! Yes, I will eventually apply to get a free bottle of this because it is part of the deal and free is also a great price! However, it doesn’t matter if I got this free or not, this stuff helps me tremendously and I will likely be on it for an extensive period of time while my gut heals! Thank you for making an affordable product that actually works exactly as advertised!

Bacteria have a reputation for causing disease, so the idea of tossing down a few billion a day for your health might seem — literally and figuratively — hard to swallow. But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that you can treat and even prevent some illnesses with foods and supplements containing certain kinds of live bacteria. Northern Europeans consume a lot of these beneficial microorganisms, called probiotics (from pro and biota, meaning "for life"), because of their tradition of eating foods fermented with bacteria, such as yogurt. Probiotic-laced beverages are also big business in Japan.Some digestive disease specialists are recommending probiotic supplements for disorders that frustrate conventional medicine, such as irritable bowel syndrome. Since the mid-1990s, clinical studies suggest that probiotic therapy can help treat several gastrointestinal ills, delay the development of allergies in children, and treat and prevent vaginal and urinary infections in women.Self-dosing with bacteria isn't as outlandish as it might seem. An estimated 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 500 different species inhabit every normal, healthy bowel. These microorganisms (or microflora) generally don't make us sick; most are helpful. Gut-dwelling bacteria keep pathogens (harmful microorganisms) in check, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, and contribute to immune function.Probiotics benefitsNot all probiotics are the same. Different strains of the bacteria have different effects. For example, one strain may fight against cavity-causing organisms in our mouths and don't need to survive a trip through our guts.Research has been promising for these friendly critters. Potential benefits of probiotics have been seen in the treatment or prevention of diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease H. pylori (the cause of ulcers) vaginal infections urinary tract infections recurrence of bladder cancer infection of the digestive tract caused by Clostridium difficile pouchitis (a possible side effect of surgery that removes the colon) eczema in children.

I recently began a weight loss journey & read articles how gut health can be related to success. I researched reviews on Amazon & decided to try this product. Definitely feel less bloated. Not sure how it's aiding with weight loss but with this product & weight watchers, I'm averaging 2 lbs a week & feeling much better! I tried the gutmeister along with the probiotic & am currently taking the deep immune (combo of pre & probiotic) to see which I want to take regularly. Definitely feel less bloated. Happy with the product & plan on being a repeat customer.

I alternate between this and the drop immune probiotics & prebiotics. Took a few days to get used to them, but I feel better for using them.

This was a bit too strong.
