Symprove - has anyone tried it!?

I’m starting a course tomorrow. Ive had IBS type symptoms, and my immune system seems to not be as good as usual (lots of low level colds etc) which I’ve read can be micro biome related?

Interested to know if anyone else has tried it and if so how you found it?

Thanks! :)

I have and find it brilliant. Fingers crossed for you.

Oh that’s good to hear, thanks!

Just had my first ‘dose’ though and OMG, it is disgusting! I nearly heaved it back up! Already dreading tomorrow morning 😂🙈

Yes, I have been using it almost 2 years now. I find it really good. I stop taking it every couple of months for a few weeks and notice I am sluggish and tires when not taking it. Also, fantastic for digestive issues. My 9 year old daughter takes it every second day as she has quiet bad eczema and bowel issues (she was on Movicol daily) but since starting it no need for Movical and her skin has cleared up. It's not cheap but worth every penny from my experience.

Interested in this thread?

That’s so good to hear! Thank you.
But how did you get used to the taste!?

I have the mango one and keep it in fridge. If it is any bit warm it is horrible. You do get used to it and I don't mind it at all. I had the original and couldn't stand it tastes like cold baked beans.

I have, and am on the fence to be honest.

I do think it offered some benefits in terms of bowel health, and relief of some of my IBS symptoms in mild ways that may even have been coincidental- but nothing life changing, given the extreme cost of it. I took it for a good 6 months on the first occasion, stopped and then have just probably done the same again and just don't think it justifies the price (for me) but of course that will be subjective relative to ones finances etc

It is absolutely rank isn't it OP, I didn't really ever 'get used' to it, so much as just got on with it. It made me gag most days. On round two I tried the flavoured one but it really isn't much better, and still has the same aftertaste. I won't miss it in that respect.

Thanks.
It’s the flavoured one I’ve got. It was room temp this morning as it was the first try, hopefully it might be better tomorrow after 24hr in the fridge..!

I’m really hoping it will help. I haven’t got an appendix and apparently that can really affect your microbiome too. Need all the help I can get basically 😂
