Pearls IC is a godsend for anyone with IBS and other complaints
Pearls IC contains a large number of varieties of lacto- and bifido-bacteria. Due to poor diets, not enough fiber, yeast or fungal infections, etc. many people have what amounts to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, creating gas, distended abdomen, listlessness/lack of energy, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea and other complaints. Frequently those with a lack of proper intestinal flora suffer from bad skin and breakouts (toxins try to exit the body via the skin instead of the bowels). I had many skin breakouts that took ages to heal, but after being on the Pearls for a couple of weeks, these long overdue red sores have healed, and new scrapes and pimples tend to heal quickly. I've tried many different probiotic formulas over 3 decades. Pearls IC and Pearls YB are absolutely the best I've ever found. The hard outer coating means the friendly bacteria are not destroyed by stomach acids and enzymes. The pearl is able to pass through the stomach undamaged and finally dissolves in the intestines where the bacteria can go to work at full potency. I noticed a positive change on the second day after starting to take them. Abdominal pain and stress are markedly reduced. I became more regular, with a bowel movement twice a day or more. Other symptoms continue to improve. If this keeps up, I expect to have a normally functioning gut in the space of a few more months. Many kudos to Enzymatic Therapy for developing this effective delivery system that is head and shoulders above anything else I've ever tried. Note: For anyone diagnosed with Candida, bacterial or fungal infections, I highly recommend the Pearls YB formula which also contains Lactobacillus plantarum (not included in the IC formulation). Plantarum has antimicrobial characteristics that appear to create unfavorable environments for bad bacteria and fungus. I highly recommend Enzymatic Therapy's Pearls products. Note #2: If you notice an increase of gas, bloating or abdominal discomfort when first taking these or other probiotics, don't be fooled into thinking this is necessarily a bad reaction. Your gut may harbor a huge amount of unfriendly bacteria and fungus, and as these are being attacked and destroyed, there may temporarily be more toxins being created as the bad guys die off. Drink plenty of fluids and keep taking the probiotics. After a few days, the good bacteria will get the upper hand and the symptoms should start decreasing. This is known as a healing crisis. Consult with a reputable doctor who is knowledgeable and effective in nutritional healing with any questions, and if any symptoms do not clear up. UDATE: 27 AUGUST 2013: It's important to note that your body's needs can change over time. My wife and I use muscle testing (kinesiology) to test if our bodies react well to the different foods and supplements we take. I used to test very strongly for the Pearls IC and YB formulas, but now I don't. I'm currently taking Jarrow's Jarrow-dophilus capsules and they're simply amazing. They contain a broad spectrum of probiotics that are stable at room temperature (no refrigeration necessary) and are enteric coated so that they dissolve in the intestines and survive the stomach acids. The probiotics in this formula are: L. rhamnosis Peiococcus acidilactici B. longum B. breve L. helveticus (L. acidophilus) L. casei L. plantarum Lactococcus lactis I've noticed a stabilizing and regularizing of my bowel movements after about a week and a half on this product. There is a noticeable change of mood and optimism and a generalized feeling of health and vigor
