How does Digestive Advantage IBS work?
Digestive Advantage IBS is not a cure for any disease or intended to replace any medicines that are prescribed by your physician. With that said, recent medical research has indicated that the symptoms of IBS can be triggered by diet (mainly carbohydrates). Elimination of these un-digested carbs has been shown to drastically reduce IBS symptoms. The bacterial species in Digestive Advantage IBS are excellent colonizers of the small bowel. Rapid colonization requires a carbon (energy) source. As a result, the sugars in the small bowel that are not being absorbed are immediately utilized by the bacteria to fill this need. Un-digested sugars (mainly lactose, fructose, and sorbitol) can trigger the symptoms of lactose intolerance and when these sugars are fully absorbed or utilized; the symptoms disappear.
