Atrantil not working

Been taking this for 8 days now and have had no changes what so ever. I'm being treated for possible SIBO secondary to slow transit constipation. Anyone else have the same problem?

Does anyone know of a good chat area for IBS/fodmap patients?  I am having a hard time finding a support group

thanks for the response, it is nice to know I am not alone in my digestive disorder.  Although I have been hearing more and more that probiotics are a bad thing for IBS--  from what I see online Align is a probiotic right?  I am willing to try anything, but the probiotic I took in the past was not a good solution.  I am sick on this atrantil, feels like the flu.  They say is normal, but is hard to keep taking a pill that I feel is making me sick.  I think I will stick it out for another week and then if these symptoms don't subside dump this one.

I had to stop taking it because I also have IC/PBS and this made it MUCH worse unfortunately.

I have been taking Align for a few weeks now with very good results.  Also trying to be more diligent about sticking to the FODMAP acceptable foods.

I suffer from IBS and have been on the FODMAP diet for about a year now.  What I eat is a direct correlation to pain.   I have been taking one tablet per day for the past five days and today have symptomatic signs like when I eat wrong without eating wrong.  I'm experiencing a low level bloat, fever and low level distress.  I am afraid to take more than one pill and also afraid almost to continue.  I really would love this to be the magic thing that allows me to dine out occasionally without being a freak.  Comments are appreciated.  I did just take ibuprofen. 

I have only used it for 10 days so far. I noticed that I was not as bloated in the mornings. I also noticed that I had difficulty digesting a ricotta-filled lasagna dish and was more bloated than usual.  I plan to use both bottles of Atrantil -- and avoid all dairy dishes-- to see if I get better results in the future. 

Hello, Have you experienced relief now that a month has gone by?

I have been using it for a week with very little change (so far), though I read it can take 20-30 days to experience relief.

Methylcellulise irritates my intestines about 16 hours after I take it.

I understood that you should take it at least 10-20 days with a low carbohydrate diet before you will notice any changes.  I have not personally experienced any major changes myself, but I just started taking this supplement tonight. I will say that I am not experiencing any excessive bloating right now -- which is a miracle since I just had a tuna sandwich.  I will continue to monitor my gut. Good luck to you.
