Accuflora Advanced CD Probiotic Supplement caplets, 60 Count

A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. For years I had been sick with terrible stomach and digestive issues that would literally make it impossible to function on some days. After adjusting my diet I felt much better, but I still had bouts of pain that just didn't seem to go away. I did some research and discovered that the digestive tracts of Celiac patients were often lacking in many of the pro-biotics that flourish in healthy people, so I decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, this was not the first one I used, and believe me, the quality and effectiveness of many pro-biotic brands is questionable. Some of them really had no effect at all, and some seemed to make the problem worse. Add to all of that the problem of finding a good quality product in general, plus one that contained the specific strains needed for my particular disease and the necessity of being gluten free - well, it took some time. Accuflora has really made a difference. It contains 5 strains of pro-biotics (some that were specifically suggested by my doctor) and using them daily has all but eliminated my problems. This is not to say that the results were instantaneous, but over the course of the first month, my health improved significantly. I've been using them now for about 6 months and my quality of life has become so much better. I will use these for as long as they make them. Since I take these daily I do try to keep at least a month ahead, and I do try to find the best price. Amazon usually has that, and the pills I've gotten on here have been the real deal and well within the expiration date. The bottle contains 60 tablets, and the daily dose is 2, so they last a month. I usually take them at bed time and have never had any problems with gas of bloating. They have been life changing for me and I highly recommend them. These really work!

When my gastro doctor told me that I had to take a pro-biotic every day, I was not happy. There are so many pro-biotics on the market and I had no idea how to pick one. Besides that, they aren't cheap. He wasn't any help when I asked which one he recommended either. So I started doing some research and after reading label after label after label I picked Accuflora Pro-biotic Acidophilus. I started seeing a difference in just one week. Most of my gas issues went away and my stomach stopped making all kinds of noise every time I ate or drank anything. I noticed that I had less abdominal pain. It seemed to regulate my digestion so I felt better. I almost never experienced the bloating that had been making me so miserable. As a matter of fact, it made such a difference in the way I felt that I just kept talking about it to my husband. He does not believe in taking any kind of supplements or aides but he seemed very interested in how this pro-biotic was helping me with digestion issues. By the second week of me taking them he told me he was going to try them also. Guess what - now we both take them faithfully every day. For a while we were not able to find Accuflora for a price that we were willing to pay so we decided to switch and try some other pro-biotics. Big Mistake!! Over the course of a month we tried three different pro-biotics; we gave them about 10 days each. We were not happy with the others at all. We both went right back to all the stomach/intestinal noise, bloating, irregularity. We decided to check Amazon again and we still were not able to get them the way we used to, but we decided we would order the smaller bottle that Amazon offers. We have to buy them more often now but we don't want to ever find ourselves out of them. So to make sure that doesn't happen, today I started a subscription so that I will always have them on hand. Give them a try, I believe you will have great results.

This is THE BEST PROBIOTIC on the market! I've had " gut issues" for years and I started these several years ago. Just like magic, all problems ceased!!! It says to take 1 or 2 tablets daily, I take 2 am and pm. I had to get off them when I had my bone marrow transplant and couldn't start them again until several months post transplant per Dr's orders. Boy was I HAPPY when I started them again! Just like before, all my problems went away! I've tried several brands, but this one is the BEST!! MY advice is to find the company with the cheapest price. My grocery store used to carry these, but stopped, so I had to start ordering them online. If 1 tablet twice daily doesn't help you, go up to the 2 tabs twice daily!!

This is the only probiotic that works for me. I've been buying it for almost a year now and it's continued to provide we the comfort I need. I have several triggers that affect my digestive system and cause me discomfort. I have a lot of anxiety induced stomach and digestive issues. I also have some food sensitivities. I went to a Dr about my stomach a few years ago and after paying for expensive testing I was nowhere close to a diagnosis and gave up. I was trying to treat my symptoms with OTC meds. So a combination of fiber, heartburn medicine, Lactaid, Tums, Pepto, and Imodium depending on what the symptom was that day. It was a nightmare trying to guess what my stomach and digestive tract were going to feel like any time I had to leave the house. Which led to more stress induced discomfort. I'm not going to tell you that my stomach and digestive issues are at 100% resolved when I take this probiotic. It's not at all. I still have some flairs and require other OTC meds at times but I don't take any other daily OTC meds. But the flairs are less often and way less pain intensive since I've routinely taken Accuflora. I'd estimate that this has reduced around 75% of my discomfort. My stomach and digest system feels more predictable which helps reduce my anxiety when leaving the house. I will say that taking 2 pills in the AM and having a Greek Yogurt in the PM works best for me after having taken this daily for an extended period of time. I recently tried taking this twice daily and experienced cramping. While taking this once a day I've not experienced any adverse side effects or discomfort, I understand that this might not work for everyone. I'm not a Dr and my testimonial isn't meant to tell you that this will work for you. Simply, that it's been a life-changing addition to my diet and that I would recommend it based on my experience. Edit 1/1/2017: this has finally stopped working for me. IDK What I'm gonna do moving forward but it's not this.

I have been using probiotics for years. Before people really knew what they were. I research a lot of products that makes you feel better and read about how probiotics can help. When I got pregnant I took align and stopped because it was getting to expensive. During my pregnancy I gained like 15lbs while on the probiotic and had no bowel issues. When I stopped taking it suddenly I was gaining tons of weight like 50lbs and having a lot of issues in the bathroom causing me to have to take laxatives. Probiotics were still so new then that I didn't know the reason for my bathroom troubles were because I stopped taking a probiotic. I wish I found this product sooner. So I found this current product because my husband had to go on antibiotics and the dr recommended this brand and I started to take them with him. Wow they clear me out everyday. My husband who always has bathroom issues and takes forever is in and out now and no more emergencies while we're out. I just switched to another brand called floraster I think it was called and it did nothing for me and was so expensive. I went back to this brand. It's only a dollar cheaper on Amazon so I'll probably just keep picking it up at the grocery store when I go. Oh and I took this brand during my second pregnancy every day and only gained 15lbs total and never had a bathroom issue with constipation. After the baby was born I actually weighed less.

I use these probiotics regularly. I don't think they are as strong as some of the other brands but they are the most reasonable priced ones on the market and still work well. The suggested dose is two a day but I only take one to make them last longer. Great for calming the digestive system and I always take them with me when I travel. You never know when you might eat something bad or pick up some virus. I feel like I'm adding a little extra protection to my gut.

I had been looking for a probiotic product with L. rhamnosus in it. I had learned from researching the web that probiotics can help with diseases. And my medical MD, a PCP, introduced me to probiotics and offered me Flora-Q which I take daily. I also learned from Wikipedia on line that since the early 1900's, scientists have been investigating the help of probiotics in fighting disease. My PCP hoped it would help me avoid colds and perhaps in a totally healthy person, it might. On that issue, you should speak to your own PCP. However, for me, Flora-q, though it helps with stomach distress and yeast side effects of antibiotics, does not have L. rhamnosus in it. Accu-flora does have this probiotic. When I have a cold, I add Accu-flora. When I could not find this product anymore at my local supermarket, I went on line and found it at Amazon.com. I have a proclivity to colds due to PIDD- which is Primary Immune Deficiency Disease,(affecting over 300,00 people of all ages in USA alone- often not diagnosed properly) and though I am treated for this with medications, winter is my worst time. I speak only for myself, but have found the Accu-flora product to be beneficial along with my antibiotics. Again, I speak only for myself and the benefits for me from this product. If you have a proclivity to upper respiratory infections, you should always talk to your practitioner first to see if this product is for you.

I was not impressed with this probiotic supplement both in terms of the large, chalky pill and the cost. I was using them for diarrhea, but didn't notice anything in the way of a positive effect after using them for two weeks. What appeared to be a reasonable price lured me to try them. The side panel (pictured above by the manufacturer) said a dose was two pills, but I should have looked at the box cover more closely where there were the words "up to 12 hours of support" - my bad. It turns out that you're supposed to take two pills twice a day. Therefore, a box of 60 at the recommended daily doe only lasts for two weeks, requiring you to buy two boxes for a month's supply, making it much more expensive than I'd originally thought. I've since switched over to a 90-day supply of Enzymatic acidophilus pearls offered on Amazon. They require only one dose a day and the pills are much smaller and easier to swallow. That product is working and also saves me quite a bit of money.
