When we mentioned, ahem, constipation as a factor in waist-size, we felt that was a new departure for SoSensational.
Now, here we are talking about Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Why? Because we know it affects 10 to 15% of people in Europe including inevitably some women aged 50-plus, leaving you with unpleasant symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea.
So we thought we’d tell you about a natural, gluten-free food supplement designed to relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms, and available for the first time in the UK.
Called Alflorex, it contains the PrecisionBiotic 35624™, part of the B. infantis culture strain, specifically selected to work in the human gut, and backed by more than 15 years of clinical research. Of course, many people, including women over 50 are already taking bloat-busting pro-biotics. But the manufacturers say this is different. Why? Because of natural, “smart targeting” . PrecisionBiotic could be a game-changer. It’s not just Alflorex who think so: leading gastroenterologist Professor Eamon Quigley, said: “Research shows us that not all probiotic cultures are the same… Alflorex is unique because it is an elite and natural precision strain which addresses specific issues, rather than simply relying on the generalised effect of conventional probiotics.”
Two women, Trish Gavin and Eithne Moran have told how this natural supplement helped their IBS.
Trish describes her life as “a living hell for more than 20 years”. Her IBS was so severe it affected her social life, her travel plans and her self-confidence. Because she was afraid to eat certain foods, she developed poor eating habits. Bloating was particularly bad – this was not only uncomfortable but led her to avoid social situations. It also severely affected her weight; when her IBS was at its worst she lost more than 4 stone. She discovered the pro-biotic strain 35624™ culture, available under the name Alflorex. Trish says it had an enormous impact on her IBS and she became symptom free within a short time. Watch Trish’s story here.
For more than two decades, Eithne, now a mature model, struggled with IBS. Her digestive problems affected her physically and mentally. Her problems appeared more than 20 years ago. “Back then I was skinny, yet I had this band of hard flesh around my tummy, so I looked pregnant. After eating, I’d get this bloated feeling, as well as abdominal pain and cramps.”
In one year alone she lost more than three stone and reached the point where IBS was starting to control her life. She tried all sorts of remedies but none worked.
Well-groomed and pretty, Eithne had always loved fashion and after studying retail marketing and design she dreamed of being a fashion buyer in Milan. However life, children and divorce got in the way. Now happily remarried, Eithne runs administration for a hair-and-beauty salon and has recently signed with a modelling agency after doing some test shots for photographer Michael Hogan.
Then a few months ago, she was asked to be part of a group testing a new “precision biotic”.
“I’d heard about probiotics and I knew they were supposed to help bloating, but this was taking the concept a step further.” Eithne joined the trial taking one capsule a day.
She comments: “I was a bit cynical at the outset. For the first couple of weeks I didn’t feel any different, but by the third week I found my appetite had begun to improve and the horrible, bloated feeling had gone. So I’m still taking it, and I do like the fact that it’s a natural product.” Watch Eithne’s story here.
The PrecisionBiotic 35624™, marketed as Alflorex is now available from Boots and other pharmacies nationwide in the UK. RRP is £29.95 for a 30-day supply.
