    Hi, I used it as part of my recovery but it was with l - glutamine and other ingredients in a powder that you mix with water.

    I could feel it helping every day I had to drink the mix in the morning.

    I see so much on ibs forums about good bacteria, most shouldn't even add probiotic etc until other things have been dealt with, like food intolerances, vit deficiencies, enzyme levels, stomach acid levels, hydration etc, even then before adding probiotics, not alot look at what water they drink, what products they use day to day, a lot don't look after the good and bad bacteria they already have, I also never see anyone talking about having to much good bacteria as that can cause problems to.

    Also to get decent supplements normally a registered nutritionist has to order them for you in uk.
