IBS PATIENTS BEWARE
I have taken probiotics for about 20 years and they have been amazing in controlling the symptoms of IBS for me. I wanted to write this review for ANYONE suffering from IBS that this product may not be for them. I am retired from the healthcare field and know a little on this subject. The product has an artificial chemical (sweetener) in in called MALTODEXTRIN, which I was unaware of until I became quite sick with diarrhea, bloating cramping etc. At this point I read the label and noted it has Maltodextrin in it which is a big problem for some of us. What I do not understand is why it is in a probiotic? Communication with the manufacturer is iffy. So buyer beware of this. If maltodextrin doesn't bother you , you may be OK but in my mind it is like putting sugar in a supplement for diabetics.
