This is because it takes


time for the gut microflora to rebalance. That’s why it’s recommended that you start with 1 - 2 sachets of VSL#3 a day for a month to really start seeing the benefits. You may also start to feel a little more bloated than normal when you first start taking VSL#3, however this is just a sign that your digestive system is starting to rebalance itself and the bloating will resolve on its own.


VSL#3 is available at your local Careway pharmacy. For more information, visit www.vsl3.co.uk.


“My IBS made me miserable – until I tried VSL#3”


Jill Gardner, 42, was diagnosed with IBS when she was 18, having suffered with the condition since childhood. Jill would often wake up feeling bloated, lethargic and hungry, and could not find a solution to her symptoms. “The bloating and discomfort often stopped me


going out, and I didn’t feel comfortable in certain clothes,” she says. “The constipation also had a knock-on effect on my


general wellbeing. I found it embarrassing to talk about, and not being able to go about my day-to-day life made me feel more stressed and downhearted. It also left me with brain fog, fatigue and heartburn.” Despite taking extensive steps to make her life


healthier, Jill – a weight loss coach and nutritionist – failed to find the key to relieving her IBS symptoms. Then a nutritionist friend recommended she try VSL#3. “Earlier this year I had been experiencing a bad flare-


up of my IBS and was becoming increasingly debilitated by the condition. I based my choice to try VSL#3 on my nutritionist’s recommendation and the amount and variety of bacteria. I could not believe the results. “I’d taken other probiotics before and nothing had


ever had a significant impact, but with VSL#3 I started to see the benefits within literally a few days. My bowel movements increased, meaning I felt less lethargic and more energised. “I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve experienced


from. So which should you try? Experts widely believe that for maximum effectiveness, a probiotic product should contain adequate amounts of beneficial bacteria. VSL#3 is the world’s most concentrated


poly- biotic (a probiotic that contains several strains of bacteria rather than one) containing 450 billion bacteria per sachet – that’s substantially more per dose than any of the leading supplements on the market. Indeed VSL#3 contains eight strains of


beneficial live bacteria, including Streptococcus thermophiles, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus and Lactobacills plantarum.


How to take VSL#3 According to NICE, people with IBS who choose to try probiotics should be advised to take the product for at least four weeks while monitoring the effect.


since adding VSL#3 to my daily routine. I was worried that I’d never stop being ruled by my IBS as the changes I had already implemented such as leading a really active and healthy lifestyle didn’t make a significant improvement to my symptoms. “VSL#3 really was the missing piece of the puzzle for


me, and now I recommend it to all my clients who experience symptoms like my own.”
