Symprove - causing diarrhoea?

3 replies

I've been taking Symprove for 2 weeks now, and I've felt awful, constant diarrhoea in the morning. Often taking Imodium. I understand you have to get used to it and it'll settle but did anyone else have this? There's a chance it might not be Symprove but it seems a coincidence that I take it every morning and that's when the issue starts! I know it's very good for you but I'm considering stopping taking it as it's very stressful in the mornings with a busy life! Did anyone experience similar?

Yes, same here. Didn't cure my stomach troubles and in fact gave me very urgent stools most of the time which was extremely unpleasant and inconvenient.

I did it for a month or so then ditched it completely. Kombucha and Milk Thistle (from British Supplements) sorted me out.

@jamestiger150 yes same here! Whenever I've been out in the morning I've quite urgently needed to find a toilet, almost felt sometimes that I wouldn't make it. Glad it's not just me. Oh thanks! I might have them a try.

Cool, let me know how you get on! :) (It was quite expensive to buy as well which made it more annoying ha ha ha)
