Practically overnight, I became sensitive to gluten and experienced mal-absoprtion! I was lactose intolerant & anemic from yeast and/or bacterial overgrowth. Also certain foods would give me IBS symptoms like never in my life! I am 30 and was suffering from severe brain fog acid reflux, anxiety, ear infections and stress reactions. I believe the bacteria/yeast did a number on my small intestine and it led to anemia so I had trouble absorbing iron, calcium, and many nutrients. I needed something to heal my gut. Within 1 day of taking this, my bathroom trips are more regular so I believe this is what I needed. I also now fully avoid gluten. I hope to see more improvement in my anemia and stress reactions as I give my body time to heal. I do believe I will finish the bottle and hopefully be done taking this. I dont think this needs to be an ongoing supplement. We will see! Please comment if you have had similar symptoms. :-) Nice to know I am not alone LOL Update: Its been about a month and wow, I feel amazing and Im even under quite a bit of stress from other stuff (non-health related)! I rarely get any IBS issues now, maybe once a week if that. Update 2016: Hi everyone, so I wanted to check in and tell everyone I had malabsoption due to gluten sensitivity and lactose sensitivity. Im not full blown Celiac. Im in a gray area I suppose. However, I avoid all gluten and only eat a bit of dairy as tolerated and this works so well for me. I had so many tests done and none were clear enough for a diagnosis. My previous symptoms were constant IBS, Needing to go 4-5 times per day eliminating faster than I could absorb, extreme acid reflux, skipped heart beats, high anxiety, body aches, ear aches, extreme brain fog and hindered short term memory. I can say with certainty that avoiding gluten and avoiding antibiotics has eliminated symptoms. I have been gluten free for a while now and no longer have IBS symptoms unless I drink too much coffee and/or over-eat dairy. I had not had a heart palp, skipped beat, or pounding sensation in so many months until I needed to take antibiotics for a minor infection. Within a day of taking 500mg amoxicillin, I experienced severe acid reflux, heart palps, and severe lactose intolerance/urgent IBS. I upped my probiotics to 2-3xs a day and stopped the antibiotic. The acid reflux was unbelieveable, in my throat, I had to take Zantac and Slippery Elm Bark for days to get rid of it. Im doing much better these days. I still take all of the supplements I mentioned with/without food. I take them a few times a week as I remember to do so. My leaky gut is healed. I have hip Bursitis, but I think that's from an injury. LOL I dont know how malabsorption happened to me, I ate wheat all of my life without problems. I ate dairy all of my life. I believe the virus I had 2-3 years ago might have caused gene expression and made me overly sensitive. Either that or a horrific bacteria or yeast overgrowth. Update year later: I'm 100% gluten free, sulfite free, and very aware of what I eat. As of last 9 months or so, I eat mostly vegetarian and pescetarian, I feel amazing. Life is good!!!!!!!!!! No symptoms at all. Done and done!!!!!
