28th July 2010 from Lana. G ~ AB Canada ~ Email into Healthy Audio Offices.

I really just wanted to write in to say THANK YOU for an amazing program! I completed the IBS audio 100 series less than a week ago, and it has changed my life.

I have had extreme issues with IBS since I was diagnosed at 8 years old--22 years ago now...I now have days where I am
completely pain-free and I just cannot thank Michael Mahoney enough for his amazing program.

I would never have thought that laying down and listening to a CD for half an hour a day could make me feel so much better. Some of the issues that I have had basically all my life are almost completely gone. And I know that I will continue to improve, I'm so
excited for my future and doing the things I've been avoiding because of the IBS.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Sincerely,
Lana G.

When IBS Improvements Falter, How to Keep Moving Forward

Hello again, Heather.

I emailed you several months ago to tell you how much help your Tummy Fiber was in stabilizing me.

After several months, however, I had plateaued and was still having up and down days and free-floating anxiety (not necessarily about IBS).

Three weeks ago I went back to your website and decided to try the IBS hypnotherapy program CDs on the premise that even if they only helped a little it would be better than nothing. I've been listening to the CDs for two weeks and am pleasantly surprised that, almost from the first day, I started to sleep better and generally am in a better mood.

I'm looking forward to more good improvement and again thank you for all that you've done for IBS patients!

18th June 2010 from Jo. W ~ Worthing UK ~ Email into Healthy Audio Offices.

Hi Michael,

I wanted to send my very heartfelt thanks to you for the life changing effect your IBS audio programme has had for me. I completed the 100 day programme a few weeks ago now and I cannot believe that I actually feel free of IBS!

I really had reached a very low point after suffering, and it really is suffering, for over 10 years. I read about your CD's on an IBS forum and to be honest if I had not been feeling quite so desperate I probably would have dismissed it as I never realised the true potential and healing power of hypnotherapy.

Well, it has amazed me, I started to feel better in the second week and my scores went from 8,9 and 10's to 1, 2 and 3's by day 27, I really couldn't believe it. Now I would say I am consistently at 0 or 1 and very occassionally on a bad day, (which I've had about 4 of in over 3 months were it was pretty much a daily occurence)it might reach a 3.

It has truly changed my daily existence. I am soo much happier and calmer and enjoying life far more!
My partner has commented that I am like a different person, the real me!   Thank you for your efforts in developing this and I cannot sing your praises highly enough.

I found myself telling someone on the street about it the other day as I know it can help so many people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Jo, age 38 and reborn!!!

If you have IBS you know how debilitating it can be, and this complete 4 audio cd set gives natural relief that unlocks the power of your mind.  This plan was developed after years of clinical research and experience by a leading specialist in clinical hypnotherapy.  When drugs and diet have not solved your IBS troubles, it is time to give self-hypnotherapy a try.  It worked for me!!!

April 24, 2010 Excerpts From Jillywindy

 
It's hard to meditate when your mind keeps wandering back to the pain that you're feeling. The Hypno 100 programme is like a guided meditation specifically for IBS. Really great for reducing anxiety...
 
I am doing the hypnosis and can highly recommend it. I'm nearing the end of the programme and my symptoms have been gradually reducing as I go. Last week was the best week I've had for 6 months (since I got IBS). But, of course, I have been trying other remedies so who knows. Many people maintain that it did the trick for them. It takes 100 days to complete the programme and some people do it a few times so it's no quick fix. It's enjoyable, very relaxing and good for your self-esteem. I downloaded it directly onto my computer.

April 21, 2010  Excerpt from Lisa on HelpForIBS - Stable since July 2007

I HAVE stabilized. I'm not cured; there is no cure. But I've learned what I need to do to control my symptoms and lead a semi-normal life. You probably don't want to hear this but the hypno program is what did it for me. I completed the entire thing three times. THREE. Each time I saw a little more improvement. Do what you want with that information, but I swear that's what made the biggest difference. I would encourage you to give that an honest try before throwing in the towel.

March 17, 2010 Email to Healthy Audio From J.Fallon UK

Dear Healthy Audio,
 
Can you please pass this email to Micheal Mahony. I had been suffering with IBS for the longest time, when my daughter purchased the IBS Audio Program 100 for me. I was sceptical but she paid for it so I owed it to her, and myself to give it a try.  And what a powerful message this is.
 
I could hardly believe it within the first week I was seeing changes and feeling better, I think I did after the first few days (that introduction is just so amazing) but I thought it may have just been me hoping it.  Within a month I felt brilliant, by the end of the program it was such a relief to know I could feel so much better.
 
I finished the program 10 months ago, and I have never looked back. I found the content was excellent and the listening schedule was so easy to follow, and yet it kept me on track and it made so much sense too.
 
So Micheal and all your team, thank you so much, from a very genuine and grateful user THANK YOU

February 12, 2010  From onyx in California

The only other thing that seemed to help me is doing the IBS Audio 100 self-hypnosis program (actually I only got through half of it, but I'm going to try again soon.)

I still have the problem of the "time on the toilet", but it's more limited now. Instead of going 10 times I might only go 3-4 times, I don't spend hours and hours like I used to, the cramps are less frequent.

March 10, 2010 From Elly Rothbard, The Villages, Florida

Dear Michael,
 
I hope you do not mind the informal way I am addressing you.  It would seem strange to be formal with a person who has spoken to me every day for one hundred and seventy days.  Yes, I am still listening to your program even though I feel I have recovered from IBS; I believe that all the symptoms were gone by the time I completed one hundred and twenty sessions.
 
I thank you for what you have done for me!  After three years of being on a very strict diet from Heather Van Vorous' book," Eating For IBS", I decided to take Heather's advice and I ordered your program through her website.  At first, I didn't think you developed the program for someone like me because there were many things that you said that didn't seem to apply to my situation.  I called Heather's office and I was told not to worry about everything that was said on the CDs because you were addressing my subconscious and that would not always make sense to my conscious mind.  It was explained to me that you had to cover a wide range of people who were suffering with different problems that caused their IBS.  Then I was concerned about the fact that I wasn't feeling any different when your session began with you saying that I must be feeling different by this time.  Now it was time to call the number on your program cover and ask more questions.  I was lucky enough to reach Marilyn.
 
Marilyn put everything into prospective when she told me her story.  I stopped worrying about failing when I reach one hundred sessions.  Marilyn also made me aware that by keeping to a restrictive diet, I may have been reinforcing the IBS.  I began to realize that the stress of wanting to get rid of my problem was actually causing the IBS to stay with me.  Now, when I listen to your program it all make so much more sense.  It reminds me of how I understand the beginning of a novel after finishing the book and rereading the beginning!
 
I can eat most things now but I still am afraid to try milk products because I don't know if I am lactose intolerant..  The IBS started with problems with yogurt and soft cheeses.  However, in a month or so I will try milk products because I really think my reaction to them in the part was the IBS.
 
I am planning to get in touch with the health editor of our local paper to share my wonderful experience with your treatment with others in my community who may have the same problem.  The reaction of all my friends and family is heartwarming.  Everyone wants to know if you have a program for every other problem imaginable!
 
 
Thank you, thank you,
 
Elly Rothbard

February 9, 2010   From Sam

I used the IBS audio program 100 and just completed the 100th day a week ago. That program is wonderful and really helped me a lot. Even after completing 100 days, I listen to my favorite tracks.

As I like the IBS audio program, I am also planning to buy & use the Confidence & Self Esteem program by Michael Mahoney.
___________________________________________________________________________

January 6, 2010  From Shoreham, NY:

As a former sufferer of IBS, I consider myself stable now after having followed this100-day program, even though I often fell asleep while listening to the hypnotherapy CDs.
 

If you or someone you know suffers with IBS, please take the time to visit this website, view results of the program, and read users' comments and reviews. This is a highly effective treatment for IBS with no risks or side-effects like conventional drugs.

January 2, 2010  From Bettybw53  on everydayhealth.com

To all that have IBS.... there IS a brain gut connection and there is something that can help you control it. I have been tremendously helped by Michael Mahoney "gut specific" hypnotherapeutic audio program. I am not associated in any way with this product except to say that it WORKS.

There are 4 CD's, 100 days of listening. It is magic how it works. Amazing. I started listening one year ago, for 100 days. I am so much better.

I used to have to stop to go to the bathroom on the way to work, no more.

I used to have gas and bloating, no more.

I used to worry about long car trips, standing in line, where to go after eating out..... the list goes on ... you know.

I now have the tools Michael Mahoney talks about and my mind takes over.... and I am better. Amazing.

December 15, 2009  Excerpt of Letter From Jean on HelpForIBS:

No Pain, No Cramping For Over A Year!

Hello Heather and other IBS friends,

I read this newsletter every month and whether or not you publish my letter is a-ok with me. I cannot tell you how much help finding your website, information and suggestions gave me hope when I first started having the IBS. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to share all you have learned and all your wonderful products.

I have to strongly, strongly recommend to other folks who deal with IBS the IBS Audio Program 100® (Self Hypnosis). It is fantastic and has served me well for over a year now.

With the help of your site and the help of the audio program I am symptom-free now. It's truly a blessing.

For example: My IBS was so horrible that the summer of 2008 I cancelled my annual summer visit to my sister's in San Diego. And this is the highlight vacation of my entire year, each year.

I had read all the suggestions from Heather and read her books but what really saved my life, literally, was the IBS Audio Self Hypnosis Program.

I know stress triggers my symptoms because occasionally still I will get the gentle ache that is the signal that the unlivable symptoms may begin. I can immediately revert back to what I learned on the CDs and work through it in minutes!

This past summer of 2009 and on my other short trips, and also here at home, everything is wonderful. No more PAIN. No more cramping. No more eternal bathroom visits.

Thank you so much for being available, Heather, and offering life-changing help for those who suffer with IBS…

For those mulling over whether the hypnotherapy CDs are worth the cost, I wholeheartedly say YES! WELL WORTH IT!

I just wanted to add that I have seen many, many doctors prior to using the CDs and I mentioned your name and recommended your site to my Primary Care doc, my GE doc, and a therapist. The therapist was especially interested and wrote down the info.

I wish more professional health care workers knew about you.

Kindest regards,
Jean

November 19, 2009  Success -  From Lynn on HelpForIBS:

Dear Marilyn,

My life has done a 360 since doing Mike's tapes. I have gone through the program 3 times, and I am 100% IBS free. I know some would say this is not possible and would say you are symptom-free, stable, etc., but I choose to say IBS free, and it feels good.

Mike's tapes were the bulk of my healing, but I also tweaked my hormones. I saw a naturopathic physician, who found I had nil Progesterone. After supplementing with natural (BHRT) cream, that was just the icing on the cake for me.

For those that say hypnosis does not work for them, who do a hit or miss of the program, or stop and start it and then say it does not work, I am here to say it does. You have to stay focused and commit to the program, follow the schedule, and realize it does not happen overnight. Sometimes, as in my case, you may have to go through the program several times. Don't give up too quickly.

Today, IBS is the farthest thing from my mind. I eat what I want, go wherever I want, and travel with my occupation. I am a new person, mostly due to Mike's tremendous contribution to this condition.

Please express my deepest thanks to him. I might check back in, in another 6 months. ~ Lynn

I used the IBS Audio Program 100 CDs and loved them!!

November 09, 2009 Mr D.A N.Sheilds N.E England. Hand written letter to Michael at his practice.

On 30 March 2006, I purchased the IBS 100 CD set & consider myself to be effectively cured of this condition thanks to your CD set ... Thank you Michael!

October 30, 2009   From Fort Collins, Colorado

The IBS Audio Program 100®  is truly incredible-- it absolutely changed my life.  Don't take my word for it, though-- check out the reviews…  I personally have nothing bad to say about this program.  It's calm, it's soothing, and it works.  Seriously.

September 10, 2009 From Patricia R. from Georgia

Four months have gone by since I have ordered and completed Michael Mahoney's IBS CD's, and I have not had an attack since!  I am thrilled and sometimes still cannot believe this wonderful success.  I really miss the relaxation of listening to the CD's, and so after researching found that Michael has other CD's for various situations and am eagerly awaiting my newly ordered CD set.  I can not recommend the IBS set enough.  Thank you, Michael!! 

August 11. 2009 From CM Bickel on HelpForIBS:

PLEASE stick with the hypnosis CD's...they are a godsend. Having IBS-D for 19 years, they helped me…, more than anything ever! Thanks forever…!!! CMB

August 10, 2009  From Gerikat on HelpForIBS:

It is great, great, great!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about the (IBS Audio) program. No, you don't listen every night...there are breaks. If you miss a night, you go back to the day before and pick up where you left off. Michael Mahoney is a godsend. All of the instructions come with the CD's…  Good Luck!

 

June 12, 2009  From Cape Girardeau, MO 

I purchased and used this 4 CD audio program to help me through recurring pain and discomfort in my midsection that the doctor diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  This was a 4-5 years ago.  It helped me get my mind straight and get through that period and I held onto it in case I needed it with another bout of the problem.  So far so good…

 

Letter received at Michaels Practice 1 June 2009

Mr Mahoney,
I have suffered with IBS for many years and I’m pretty sure I have tried everything that was ever suggested for relief. I spent nights searching the internet to find any different solutions to try. I tried diets, supplements, even crazier diets, lots of different medication, but nothing seemed to work for very long. I had limited my social life to nearly noting, as I was too afraid to go to far from home. My husband was always mad or disappointed in me because I wouldn’t participate in any outside interests.

Finally, one night while I was searching the internet, I was on the site ‘ibsgroup.org’ and one entry started with the words – “If you have tried everything else with no relief, you have to try this”. I read on and the woman described your IBS Audio Program 100. I went to the site, read all the information, then checked out your site and learned about you and your qualifications. I ordered the progam and followed it faithfully. I began to see positive results after two sessions. I have completed your program and have never felt better. I can not express to you the gratitude I feel for you giving me back my life. Your audio tapes (CDs) helped me in all areas of my life, but it is such a great feeling to be amongst the “living” again. I can enjoy some of the food that I had given up and have no fear of eating out or attending social gatherings. I was even able to give up some of the medication that I had been taking for the stomach pain.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!. My next problem is that now that I can eat almost anything, I am gaining weight. Do you have an audio program for that, also?

Again, the words “thank you” do not come near encompassing the gratitude I feel for the relief you have given me. THANK YOU!!!

Patty

May 26, 2009  From Ann on MyIrritableBowelSyndrome.com

 … I tried them (the IBS Audio Program CDs)  last year and found them to be very helpful. It helped relieve my anxiety and in turn relieved my symptoms. I highly recommend them.

Improved Beyond All Recognition!

Dear Heather,

Although I live in South Africa, I use the Tummy Tamers peppermint oil caps… In fact, I use far fewer of them now, as I have improved beyond all recognition compared to how I was just a few years ago.

I am sure using the IBS hypnosis program made a huge difference too, so thank you for giving me back my life….

Kind regards,
Val Waters

May 4, 2009 From Dailystrength Success Story

Hi everyone,
I used to have IBS and now I no longer suffer from it. I used to never be able to leave my house, was scared to have a job or go on holiday etc....It really does ruin your life.

I suffered for 5 years from it but have now been free of it for a year and a half. It used to control my life but now I don't even think about it ever!

I don't know if anyone has heard of it but I used the IBS Audio Program 100 as part of my treatment. I think it was really good and I would recommend it. I think it's worth it.

April 8, 2009 From SJF Wilts. England

Dear Healthy Audio,
I want to get a message to Michael about his IBS Audio Program 100. I have to say this is just the best thing I have done. Your voice is soothing and your understanding of ibs and how it made me feel was amazing.  I am a new fan, and have told literally all my family, friends and workmates about you.  I have been asked so many times about how it works, and I have to say I simply don’t know, there is nothing I had to do but listen to you. One thing I do tell people though is that you bring a special understanding and gentleness through your program, it often felt as if you were literally guiding me by the hand through those troublesome times, and I am so grateful to you for it.  All that was nearly 12 months ago, and now I am so different and alive and enjoying life. I know you have heard it before from many people, but I wanted to add my voice to praising your work. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you so so  much for your work and dedication.

April 6, 2009  From Erica in New York on HelpForIBS

I'm almost done with the 100 day program, around day 90. It has taken some time to realize that my symptoms have improved.
I'm not completely free of IBS, still have some cramping and nausea occasionally. BUT, my D has subsided significantly! And I'm back to eating somewhat freely on the weekends with not much consequence.

I no longer have to stop on the way to work to use the bathroom and in general I go maybe 1-3 times in the am compared to 4-8 times.
I would say my improvement was VERY gradual, I didn't see it happen right away. so keep at it!!
Good luck! - Erica  - IBS-D

April 1, 2009  From tired of ibs-d – Ontario, Canada on IBSGroup

I joined this site when I ordered the IBS Audio Program 100. I wanted to really give the listening a chance so, as others usually post a week into the program or when they first ordered it... I decided to wait. I've suffered from IBS-D since 1999 or 2000, some weeks daily, others a few times a week. I'm a male living in Ontario, Canada.. nearing the age of 40.

I was at my wits end with IBS-D (as my username states) ... there was the prospect of a new job that would require travel on the horizon. Since, the job hasn't panned out.. but I got the program anyway.... I was just plain exhausted from this horrible syndrome. (to me, 'syndrome' is in my head).

I am currently on day 85.

I have seen some improvement. Specifically, by day 27 which is the first 'rating' that you compare when you first start the program. I would say in general by day 27 I had improved by nearly 50%. Initially, that was a pretty large change in my mind.

Don't misunderstand, the program doesn't magically make it all go away, it's still there. It merely talks to your subconscious and helps your mind better deal with the anxiety and such that the IBS brings.

So far, I still have instances of IBS-D ... just not as many. I'm okay with that. To me, it was worth the money, anything less is an improvement.

Now, at day 85.. from the start of the program I'd estimate I'm improved around 75% ... I will continue to use the recordings even after day 100.

It's better controlled, I've had instances that I have still had to make an urgent stop and use a washroom. I've also had times I'd forgotten about... times that I have had the anxiety and bubbling in my stomach and it has passed.... I didn't need to stop. I almost forgot what that was like.

I'll continue to update my program/progress...  Thanks

30 March 2009 email to office from AJR Houston,Texas

Dear Mr. Mahoney, please accept this note as my deepest thanks for your IBS 100 program.  Not only has it helped my IBS but also helped me in my general well being as well. 

I am truly amazed at how my outlook has changed in many ways. I am now 70 years of age and in excellent health. I have however been dealing with IBS for about 5 years now, and I am convinced it has been caused by stress and anxiety. 

In addition, when I have had frequent bouts with bloating etc. 
My heart would go into atrial fibrillation, which my
electrophysiologist attributes to the vegas nerve activity.  Early in my course with IBS my physician put me on Lexapro, which I stopped because it gave me nightmares.  More recently I was on Zoloft, with the same problem, although it was not as bad.  Since taking your IBS 100 program,  I have been off the Zoloft for over 2 months and feel really well again. 

I do watch my diet, but for the most part I consider the program a real Godsend.  Your hard work and dedication have worked wonders for me. For that I am deeply grateful and I wish there was yet another way to express my gratitude.

I am also interested in your course for managing stress and anxiety and will be ordering that today.
Again,  thank you for your work.
Sincerely
AJR Houston Texas

Please keep me posted for the release of the Confidence & Self Esteem CD.
Thanks again!

Feb 3., 2009  From Carole on NetDoctor.co.uk

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this site and I just have to share with people on here who suffer with IBS, I have suffered with it for over a year now and had tried everything from peppermint tea to prescribed medication from my GP, nothing seemed to work for me. I changed my diet completely and it helped but was still getting flare ups of the IBS, (the IBS I have is diarrhoea predominant). I sometimes used to pass out with the pain that I got from it and it got to the point that I was scared to eat anything, so ended up losing quite a bit of weight, (which I needed to do anyway) but wouldn’t recommend this type of diet to people.

I was trawling the internet and stumbled across Heather Van Vorous website and found her to be marvelous in her management of IBS, she has suffered from this horrible syndrome from a very early age and because of not getting any satisfaction from doctors etc she decided to take actions into her own hands and start the website. Anyone who suffers from IBS should go to her website and read about her and the many different things that she has for relieving the symptoms of IBS.

Through this website I also came across the hypnosis CDs by Mike Mahoney, what a wonderful thing I have found, this is a 100 day programme for IBS suffers and I swear to you I have never looked back, my symptoms have literally gone! If I have a flare up its gone within a matter of two hours. This man is amazing and I would recommend this hypnotherapy CD to all IBS sufferers.

If you have not already done so then please try hypnotherapy!

January 25, 2009  From K. Wright   ***** Possibly the Holy Grail of IBS Treatments  ~ posted on Amazon

Like most others, I tried absolutely everything before resorting to hypnotherapy, which seemed like a ridiculous way to cure my horrific stomach pains.
Visiting multiple doctors and paying hundreds for all sorts of tests only to be told that nothing seemed to be wrong only worsened my stress, anxiety, and in turn, my pain.
These CD's are the first thing that has actually made a difference-- I only wish I would have saved all the money I spent on other drugs and fiber medications and doctor visits to invest in only this product. Granted, the process is a fairly long one and
results are not immediate.

However, if you're committed enough to follow the program for the full 100 days, it is absolutely worth it in the end.
My stomach is not completely pain-free; I still have occasional problems, but this program has given me my life back.
As a bonus, it has calmed my stomach enough to really discover which foods to avoid and which seem to be perfectly safe (before the hypnotherapy, everything I ate caused an adverse reaction-- and not eating sometimes made things even worse).

The best $90 I have ever spent was on this program, hands down. I hope it yields the same results for you as it did for me.

The IBS Audio Program 100 helped me tremendously; I hardly have any IBS now.
I recommend it to everyone I talk to. It is worth every single penny.

January 18, 2009  From Lynn/osbo54  in Conowingo, MD on HelpForIBS

Hi Marilyn,   Just a quick update. I am only on day 16 and there has been a remarkable change. It is hard to explain (you probably know), but I don't give IBS much thought anymore. If I do start to feel uneasy, it passes quickly. I don't know why my mind is OK with it anymore, but it is. I have started to focus on the majority of my day, instead of the small part IBS may or may not play in my day. Something I have come to realize is that (at least for me), IBS is not about food, but about my mental/emotional state. I have been eating pretty much whatever I want.

I cannot wait to see how I feel on day 100. Listening to the CDs is a highlight of my day, and I look forward to it. I will check back again after about day 50. I hope to continue to progress to wellness. Thanks to you and Mike for the service that you offer. Bless you!  - Lynn

Dear Mike,

I would just like to thank you so much for your Hypnotherapy IBS audio CD it has changed my life so much that it is unbelievable! 

I was diagnosed with IBS just about a year ago now and thought my world had come to a stand still, it affected my life so much that I sank into a depression because of all the symptoms I was having and nothing seemed to work for me, I tired everything, and then I found Heather Van Vorous’ website on IBS and then things started to get better, I bought all of the products on this website and wasn’t very sure about your CD so I left it for a while.  I read a few comments made by people about your programme and decided just after the festive holiday that I would buy it “just to see” and I swear it’s the best move I ever made.

My life is virtually back to “normal” before I suffered from IBS, I lost so much weight because I have the diarrhoea predominant IBS and was always “visiting the loo” was scared to eat anything because I felt no matter what it was it just did not agree with me, I stopped going out socially and basically I was miserable, was snapping everyone’s head’s off and was not a nice person to be around, all because I felt so ill all the time. 

You saved my life Mike and I really do mean that when I say it, im sleeping better, eating better, and looking better, and feel absolutely wonderful, all because of your CD.  I look forward to listening to the CD every night and I love the sound of your voice, you have a very caring and understanding voice and it’s because you care about people who suffer from IBS and you know that we do really suffer and know that there basically is no solution to the symptoms from a medical point of view!  I find myself not thinking about IBS so much now, I wake in the morning and it does not cross my mind as to how long its going to be before im sitting in the loo with the horrible pains in my tummy and the diarrhoea, I do find though that when I do have a pain (which isn’t that often now compared to maybe three, four times a week) it leaves within 15-20 minutes of visiting the loo, its amazing I just cant say it enough to you.  You’re an angel in disguise as far as im concerned and I would recommend hypnotherapy to everyone I know who has IBS, im going to make a point of going back to my GP and asking her to recommend hypnotherapy to all her IBS sufferers, if she hasn’t already done so (which I doubt very much because she didn’t recommend it to me!).

Thank you so much Mike and all the best to you and your family.

Kindest regards, Carol Fraser

I don't think you'll be sorry at all that you're giving it a try. I am past the midpoint of the program and greatly improved. I have gone from chronic daily discomfort, pain and bloating with my IBS-C to just the occasional problem that is very short lived.

It was the best money I've spent in a long time.
