For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "It took almost two weeks of two packets a day, but so very worth it. I had a daily headache for about the first week. I'd been having severe gut issues for a year. I had just given up on eating during my workday because of unpredictable diarrhea. My life centered around bathroom availability. I have decreased to one packet as per my doctor. I feel more hopeful than I have in a very long time."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "I tried EnteraGam last week for two and a half days, at a much-reduced dose, less than half a packet twice a day. I got a mild headache about 30 min. after taking the first dose. I also felt like my throat was prickly and maybe a bit swollen. After five doses, I discontinued it. But I decided to try it again yesterday, taking 1/2 tsp. in the a.m. and 1 tsp. in the p.m. I awoke today feeling awful. The left upper side of my body hurt, especially my left breast. My gut felt like it was compressed, and I was very nauseous. I am discontinuing it for now. I wish I could tolerate it because I can only eat three things, and I just do not know how to heal my gut, even though I have taken probiotics for over five years and many other su."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "I have ongoing difficulties with reactions to many foods. Constant stomach aches, bloating, constipation, cramps, diarrhea, frequent bowel movements. This med has created more of the above and gives me a headache. I really have no idea if I should stick with it for the 4 - 6 weeks to see if the lining of my gut will heal? I'm desperate and disgusted with my condition, and the lack of response to this 'medicinal food.'"

"I have been taking 2 packs per day for nine days until day 14. It is for diarrhea post-Cdiff. I did have bad headaches for the first 7 days, and then they stopped. Easier to take if I mix in 2 ounces of warm water, and after dissolved, add several ounces of milk. More palatable that way. I seem to be having fewer stools per day. Down to 3-4. Hoping for even more improvement. Had several months of diarrhea, but with the pandemic, held off seeing the doctor. Finally diagnosed with Cdiff. Cleared with meds, but have had continuous urgency and diarrhea for six months. So hoping for good results."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea "It's been 6 days, and unfortunately, EnteraGam has made me feel very sick. Headaches almost constantly that don't go away and are very painful. And nausea that was so bad I got ill. Also, stomach cramps and gas."
