Flat tummy again with no pain, yay!
I'm a tall not-overweight woman, but I often look overweight in the mid-section since I get a distended stomach with crazy amounts of pain. My system can't tolerate wheat or dairy so I avoid it. I went gluten-free over a year ago, having yogurt, but still had big gut and pain issues. I had to have umbilical hernia surgery (with antibiotics), and the digestive issues got worse after. I've seen doctors and couldn't find anything really wrong, was told to ingest less fiber and take probiotics. Cutting out fiber did seem to help with the big belly problem but not the pain. I decided to go completely Paleo (no grain/no dairy) but things still weren't completely better.
I tried hyperbiotics pro-15 probiotic, but the little round pellet pills are hard to grasp, roll away easily, and (for me) a little difficult to swallow. I purchased nutrition essentials probiotic because the shape was a flatened football: way easier to pick up, no rolling away, much easier to swallow. Nutrition Essentials then offered to send me a free bottle for my honest review of their product. Since I was already using it and loving it (flat tummy again with no pain, yay!) I said I would write the review. I have been wearing bikinis this summer without looking pregnant, and best of all, the pain is gone! I am such a believer now I am posting this under both mine and my husband's Amazon accounts.
