Kijimea™ IBS, Medical Food for The Dietary Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (56 Capsules)

My Mom has had IBS with diarrhea for over a year and this subsequent to a C diff infection in the hospital. The C diff is no longer the active bacteria causing the problem however since then she has been having chronic diarrhea which had worsened over the last few months. We tried loperamide hcl and lomotil but neither was very effective or only a short term relief. We read about the product in Parade magazine, Despite the note saying you could ask Walgreen s and CVS to order they seemed clueless when I called them to order so I ordered it on Amazon and got it in 2 days with prime. It did not work immediately and was going to give up on it, but after 4 or 5 days it started helping a great deal. Ordered four boxes to bring back to Canada. Looking forward to the product being available in Canada was told they are working on getting approval. I hope that with greater distribution that the price can lower a bit as it is expensive for a senior on fixed income and it not being covered by insurance as over the counter.

For the last eight years IBS has plagued me. Pretty much after every meal or even cup of coffee, I'd have to wait and see if it would trigger my IBS. Three meals a day was three "opportunities" for me to feel like crap each day. If it did trigger my IBS, it meant an urgent need to go, but more importantly, seriously mind-bending cramp. I'm talking PAINFUL stuff --twice I've actually thrown up and almost passed out from being unable to cope with the pain. The possible mortification of needing to go when I'm, like, stuck in traffic or out on a date, was just the cherry on top on this damn thing.I swear that these past few years I've been keeping the producers of Imodium in business. So a few months back I changed my diet to low FODMAP foods, which helped, but not enough. Then I tried these! I was VERY skeptical, having had a bad reaction (hunger pain that did not go away even after eating!) to a different strain of probiotics before.So I started these expecting very little, but I'm so freaking glad I did. Over a month later, I've only had IBS maybe 4 times (compared to at least 4 times a week normally) in the last 40 days, and the CRAMPING was only at about 5-10% of what it was. That’s a TON of relief from where I was. I know IBS has many different causes (my sister has Celiac but I tested negative for it), so I doubt there’s one cure for all, but for me, this stuff has really blown my mind. I’m going to buy and do another round this just to make sure this bacteria continues to flourish in my gut, because this is the closest thing to a “cure” I’ve ever tried. I hope some of you will get the same relief I have! I swear I could kiss the maker of this!

I bought this probiotic because of claims that it was specifically created to help control symptoms of IBS, a condition I had had for several decades and have recently had more problems keeping in check with diet, other probiotics, etc. After about 5 days use I had a definite improvement in my IBS, very little gas/bloating and normal BMs. But within a few more days I had almost constant, very foul-smelling gas after anything I ate, gas lasting almost all day & night, plus a return of insistent diarrhea. Actually WORSE than before this product, with no change in my diet or anything else that might affect my digestion (such as antibiotics). When I called the customer service number on their website, a recording directed me to fill out the web form, which I did twice in a week, and have NEVER received even the courtesy of an acknowledgement. I'd give zero stars if I could

No offense to the product, I have (CIC) Chronic Idiopathic Constipation and have tried absolutely everything with no help.The product didn't upset my stomach and I did notice a decrease in flatulence, so that's always a plus.In all fairness the product didn't claim to help with CIC, I was just hopeful so if you have IBS it may help, I don't think it can hurt.

I am on my 7th day of Kijimea and I can see some improvement. Started off with the 14 cap size and recently purchased the 56 size as it is a big savings. Wish the price would come down but if the improvement continues it will be worth it. I did notice more gas the first couple of days but the bloating came down a lot and my energy returned. For the record, I have had IBSD and SIBO for over a year which I believe began when I ate some contaminated frozen green beans over a period of three months that were eventually recalled by the company. I have tried all different types of probiotics herbs,colloidal silver and many other suggested natural supplements but none have worked like Kijimea. I hope with the continued use of this special strain of probiotic my good health with return. Hopefully it will for everyone who suffers with this condition. I will post a follow up in a couple of weeks time.

I have suffered from IBS for over 2 years now and thought like many others that nothing would help me with my intestinal problems. BOY, WAS I WRONG. Kijimea has changed my whole dietary and intestinal track around. I can eat anything now, and there is no pressure in my stomach or that have to rush to the toilet feeling when I had to go. My mornings began with a stomach ache and rush to the toilet with very loose watery waste, I would have to avoid coffee and dairy products just to let my stomach settle down and by lunch time, I would eat as mild a food as I could get just to get through the rest of the day without stomach pains and problems. I saw an ad for Kijimea on Fox business news one day and thought, try it, it can't do any harm. This product has completely stopped my stomach pains, my intestinal tract seems to be working normally and I can have my coffee and dairy without worrying when I have to run to the toilet. This product is great and I recommend it, if you suffer from any of the numerous IBS symptoms out there.
