Alflorex Precision Biotics by Alimentary Health

I was prescribed this product by a dietician @ Lewisham Hospital who thought I could be deficient in natural Gut Microbiome - it is slowly begining to have a stabilising benefit

I suffer from IBS with Diarrhoea (diagnosed by a doctor who could only recommend I try the FODMAPS diet) and it really, really gets me down. I've tired lots of different products but only BioKult ever made any difference at all, but the effect was pretty slight.I've actually tried this product before but I took it for a month with no effect and so gave up. However my IBS has been so bad in 2020, probably aggravated with stress with lockdown, that I read about it again and decided I will give it another try and stick with it for more than a month this time. I'm very glad I did.Again after taking it for a month I saw no difference at all, but I ordered a second months supply and when those had almost run out, I noticed a steady and significant improvement. By the time I started my third month the effects really were kicking in, with them kicking in to full effect in about 10 weeks.Now I have been on them steadily for four months, I still have IBS but the Diarrhoea aspect, which I found the worst part of it, has almost been eliminated. Since the full effects came in at about 10 weeks, I have has six weeks without a single episode of diarrhoea - I used to get at least two episodes a week and often a lot more, and I took Imodium a lot.Since then I haven't needed a single dose of Imodium and I've only had one episode in six weeks which was, not to be too graphic, only almost diarrhoea and was when I had eaten too much of the wrong foods which would normally have given me real problems.Otherwise, not a single episode and I haven't taken an Imodium tablet in at least six weeks, maybe longer.I still have other IBS symptoms but they are slightly milder and the diarrhoea aspect, which was the worst one, is virtually eliminated.It is expensive at almost £25 for a months supply and it's rarely on offer, and I can't guarantee it will work for anyone, but I would recommend if you're desperate for something which will considerably improve, though not cure, your IBS with diarrhoea, it's worth ordering at least two months supply and taking it religiously in line with the instructions. I saw an improvement after six weeks and the maximum benefit in 10 weeks, so I would give this at least 8 weeks before you decide they aren't for you.

These have not cured my IBS - but I do think they may have helped considerably. For them to have the best chance of being effective, you need to be consistent and take them every day, especially at first. I think they have worked better for me now I have taken them daily, or nearly every day for 4 months. Some people even say they are "cured" after taking for one or two months! That miracle hasn't happened for me. Digestions can get worse with age. Even taking these pills, I can no longer eat fruit (which I love!) without risking agonising pain which can last for some hours and or other horrible symptoms. With IBS, different people have problems with different foods, so each person needs to find out what their own intolerances are. Anyone who has bloating and digestive pains should ideally be checked by a doctor, especially if these pains have started fairly recently. But it is very much worth taking Alfrorex daily for 4 months to see if there is improvement. My only reservations are: (1) over 80p a day for one tablet is expensive, when taken long term (2) there isn't a subscription option with a slight reduction, at least not via this advert and (3) I got these pills loose in a little pot - NOT in a blister pack. This is much more convenient than a blister pack, but it looks as if this product may be changing over to a blister pack container. The ad is now marked "new pack." Oh no! PLEASE MANUFACTURER CONTINUE TO SELL THESE IN A MINI TIN WITH A LID AS WELL AS IN BLISTER PACK! I will still buy if only available in blister packs, but those packs are more awkward and fiddly, less compact to store and keep to hand nearby and THEY UNNECESSARILY PUT MORE PLASTIC INTO THE ENVIRONMENT! For the elderly and those with arthritic hands, blister packs can be difficult. I am on quite a few prescribed meds, and most come in blister packs. With some of these packs, I really struggle, and it slows down the process of setting up my days of the week reminder containers. Marked down to 4 stars because of the cost and my fears that they will be only available in blister packs. The product is good. EXIT ADDED LATER Supermarkets now sell Kefir, a cultured milk drink, stocked near yoghurts. I have found this a great help with IBS by improving microbiome. I mix with a smoothie! Different makes and flavours in different stores. I prefer u flavoured versions.

The only thing that works for my IBS. I have suffered with IBS for years and Alfrorex is the only one that gives me any relief.
