silicol Silicolgel, 500 millilitre

This is a very useful product . I’ve used it on and off for years. Very soothing. I had an undiagnosed issue with my gut. This really helped calm things down. Better than the omeprazole that doctors dish out.

So far this has been a miracle in a bottle, I caught a stomach bug, everything from imodium, to probiotics and eating toast and drinking water wasn't doing anything, it's been over a week and nothing was changing, I've been taking this for just a day, and it soothed the stomach ache in the first day, I was able to fart again without blasting the inside of my pants, and today I'm finally somewhere resembling normal again, fingers crossed it keeps up, but so far it's doing exactly what it's supposed to, the taste is a bit grim but just wash it down with water and it's fine, if anything changes I will update my review but so far this has worked when nothing else was

When I started taking the gel I thought it was ok however a bit grainy but not too bad. I was willing to try anything as I has been diagnosed with IBS and had constant pain at different levels and a gnawing pain on a constant basis to the right of my belly button. I took the gel for 3days and then I felt as if my bowels were rumbling and gurgling all the time and I was back and forward to the toilet all day and was passing the gel, its as if it was sweeping through me, and I had pain but it was bearable. I felt my intestines had did a work out and it felt as everything had stretched. So I said I will never take that stuff again and was going to throw the bottle in the bin. However about 2days later everything had settled down and I went back to normal, but , had expected to have the pain that I normally suffered before taking the gel, but , to my surprize I felt quite a bit better and I couldn't believe it. I now have less pain that I had before, just the odd twinge at times and still have to watch what I am eating. It was as if the gel had cleaned out the tubes although there was a bit of pain while it was going on. I am glad I used it and glad I didn't throw out the bottle.

I find it soothes colicky pain and bloating. It’s quite expensive but it works so I keep on buying it.

I purchased it when I had to be off my PPI medication. It does bring some relief, but is not as powerful. Worth trying though as PPI has a lot of side effects, especially if used for prolonged periods of time (ie causing magnesium deficiency). I would stay, if you stick to the correct diet, avoid sugary snacks and stuff, which aggravate your heartburn symptoms, this gel should be sufficiently soothing.

Firstly, I should qualify my review by stating that I have suffered from diagnosed IBS for 6 years. 6 years of trying various diets and remedies and with little or no relief. Now then, it is also important to highlight that all IBS cases are different, and what might work as a remedy for one person, will only make someone else feel worse or, at best, no different.Having said all that, I have had very good results from using this product (currently on day 4) and my severe condition has been greatly improved. I have suffered severe and acute IBS-D with very sharp and unpleasant stomach pains, sudden and desperate need for the toilet and all the accompanying misery that goes with that, for several years. In just four days my symptoms have rapidly declined. I am comfortable after eating, I have had only minimal stomach discomfort and there has (so far) been no 'emergencies'. I have found that two doses per day are probably best for me as I was in danger of developing IBS-C instead!I would certainly recommended anyone with IBS-D to give this gel a try. It's a first class product, if a little pricey, and has improved my condition immensely. If you are a fellow sufferer, I wish you well and every success in your search for a remedy and source of relief. Silicolgel is a very good place to start that search. Good luck.

Took it for 3 days and it works!
