CURED MY CONSTIPATION AND BILIARY PAIN
For me this supplement was life changing.
I had always had digestive issues (especially abdominal pain and constipation) resulting in a cholecystectomy and ERCP
These procedures did not help as I still suffered with pain and constipation and a few years afterwards I even started experiencing biliary pain.
The pain would start after eating a meal with meat and/or high in fat. The pain was a crippling sharp pain located in my upper right quadrant with referred pain radiating to my right shoulder.
I usually eat fruit, yogurt, nuts and some sort of grain product (such as banana or pumpkin bread) for breakfast
For lunch I have a very large meal each day which contains meat and is in higher fat content
In the evening I usually have a smaller snack size meal
I was getting the biliary pain after lunch each day. I tried taking HCL caps and digestive enzymes which helped a little bit but still ended up giving up a lot of foods to avoid the pain.
I tried Colace and MiraLAX and Senokot for the constipation but would experience cramping and other uncomfortable symptoms.
After I found this supplement I began taking one of these tiny capsules with my lunch around mid-meal each day.
Boy, what a difference! I had great results from day one.
I no longer suffer with either constipation or any kind of biliary pain.
I can’t help but wonder why the digestive specialist did not suggest I try this before taking out an organ and cutting my sphincters. That definitely would’ve been a more conservative approach.
I am hoping that my review will help others as I wish I would’ve known about this decades ago because it could’ve saved me a lot of hardship.
UPDATE:
About a year after I started a taking this supplement it stopped working and no longer prevented my colicky symptoms.
Tests revealed I had atrophic gastritis which resulted in Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). After replenishing my stomach acid levels with HCl/pepsin supplementation my symptoms of colic quickly and completely disappeared and many allergy like symptoms I was plagued with began to fade away.
There is a book sold on Amazon everyone who has allergies and digestive symptoms should read written by Johnathan Wright MD entitled “Why Stomach Acid is Good for You.” In this book he explains the connection between the gut and how it can result in histamine reactions.
I was able to stop the Bile completely after starting HCl with pepsin capsules and digestive enzymes.
If you think bile is your problem you may be only treating the symptoms with this supplement and never addressing the core cause of it all. It is definitely worth your while to explore the possibility of low stomach acid.
