Be very wary this product if you have had any disbiosis: ie SIBO, Candida, etc in your life.
I was completely sold on this product after reading about it, seeing the videos, having great respect for Dr Bush, and a past history of gut disbiosis and gluten sensitivity. After a while of taking it and building up slowly just as advised, I noticed increasing bloating after eating and it progressively got worse. It took awhile for me to realize that this was becoming chronic, and I didn't suspect it could be the Restore. However, the only change I had made to my diet was to add Restore, and after I realized it was consistent and getting worse, I began to look for the cause. After going away and taking the Restore with me and taking more than the prescribed dose most likely sometimes at least, it got so bad I was getting full after eating very little food. When I got home I went to the doctor, got different tests, blood work etc and was finally diagnosed with SIBO. SIBO has been a very unpleasant addition to my life; restricted diets, antimicrobials, merry go rounds; it's a complicated issue to treat successfully. In talking about this with a functional medicine doctor in my family, he told me that he has indeed seen Restore cause bacterial overgrowth in some people. Dont' do what I did! If you have any prior history of gut issues like mine, consult with a naturopath or functional/integrative medicine practitioner before using it.
