as a physician with IBS, this is one of the best products i have ever take and i recommend it to all of my patients. as i read some of the negative reviews, i notice that those individuals are not following the directions as they should. also, many of the problems these individuals are having, have nothing to do with the medication. this stuff is great and there is proven data to show for it.

IBgard has a very good promotional add, "but" it does not deliver what it promises. The ad's on tv and the description on the label of the box, sounds like a very promising product, but for a person who has a mild case of IBS, who I would think it should have worked according to it's promise.....it does not "work". I am a very dissatisfied customer for two reasons: I called the company for a refu...

Having had extreme pain off and on over more than 20 years this pill was a miracle. My pain went away (not completely but 90% better) and my bowel movements normalized—it is hard to swallow and I was extremely skeptical but this thing really works.

As so many others have written, I suffered for decades with periodic IBS and horrible gas at the end of many days. IBGard and Linzess combined have eliminated my symptoms completely. I am still incredibly relieved on a daily basis. I take one pill in the morning with plenty of water and I am good to go. I also began eating a bowl of Shredded Wheat daily and I now believe I was never getting a sufficient amount of fiber. This combination has been a life-changer!!!!!

Currently taking 2x times per day (2x doses)(4x total pill) before each larger meal- noticed immediate relief from abdominal discomfort and nervous feelings in gut - easier to use the bathroom and if paired with a probiotic/prebiotics most notable symptoms subside if not completely go away - I recommend taking as needed as everyone is different but so far it’s worked amazing and helped give me my life back w/o feeling like I have stomach issues daily.

IBGard changed my life! After suffering with severe IBS for over 20 years I am now symptom free after taking IBGard!! IBGard was recommended by a new physicians assistant at my GI doctor’s office about 5 years ago. I was very skeptical as nothing had given me any real relief over the years. IBGard began helping immediately and within a few days years worth of symptoms were finally gone!! After seeing the great results I had my husband, who is a physician and who also had IBS, began taking it too and his symptoms have also resolved! Thank you IBGard!! Read More Read Less

Started taking the IB Gard for IBS (Mixed, Diarrhea & Constipation) flares. Stress always creates this chronic condition. I found this IB Gard several years ago when diagnosed with the IBS. Sometimes I will have Diarrhea and other times I shall have Constipation. Tried this product after reading reviews from various internet sites. I started with taking 1 capsule 30 mins prior to a meal and it gave me horrible heartburn. So, the next day I started taking 1 capsule late morning with a meal AFTER 20 minutes of eating and I did not have any heartburn. I then took 1 capsule later that afternoon when I ate a meal, taking the 1 capsule 20 minutes after eating without any heartburn. Within 2 days my Diarrhea (going 6-12 times a day) was down to only 2 trips to the bathroom. And my stool was starting to form a comfortable stool. Amazing! My lower abdominal "gurgling and rumbling" sounds were not heard. Also as a result of the "chronic diarrhea" I would often times develop a hemorrhoid and go through all of that "over the counter treatments." This has brought relief to the "hemorrhoid and the "urgent and frequent" visits to the bathroom. If I do start leaning into the chronic Constipation, I also will take a very small amount of Mira Lax, very small at night prior to bed and I can maintain a fairly reasonable "functionable" bowel lifestyle. It is a "trial and error" for each individual I believe. Making the adjustments that seems to work for you. This has worked for me for several years, when those "flares" occur. Take this product as needed to get my IBS (M) back for my ability to function as normal of a life as possible.Read More Read Less

I constantly had awful stomach pain/cramping above my belly button. Had all the testing with no answers. Finally saw a doc who said IBS and recommended IBgard. I immediately purchased it and started taking it. I have only had 2 stomach aches in the past two weeks whereas I was getting them daily. This medication has changed my life. AMAZING stuff. Try it. And it’s all natural.

I just started taking this today... I will report my results after 2 /3 weeks. I would never base my opinion on only using something for only a few hours or a couple of days LOL!!! I'll report back as I have severe Diverticulosis, previously had severe Diverticulitus. I don't see much mention of that even though the IBS is closely related ...Good Luck all! I hope this isn't some more over-priced Snake Oil!

I suffer with IBS-D & this natural supplement works great and has made my quality of life so much better. I have never felt this good with probiotics or other natural remedies maybe a little bit of relief but nothing comes close to how good IBGard works for me. I take 2 capsules and chug a medium size glass of water with it as stated in the instructions and it works within 10 minutes and the relief lasts for hours. Yeah it's a little pricey but totally worth every penny as I don't have to worry about running to the washroom anymore or have a stressed gut when I go out and worry about not being able to find a washroom, I have improved 9.5/10 and that is not an exaggeration! Please give this a shot if you suffer like I did with loose stools, diarrhea or urgency to always have to "go". Everyone deserves to have a nice feeling tummy, thank you IBGard for giving me that and creating this product I feel blessed finding it.Read More Read Less

I was sick for 8 months, it was a tough one to diagnose, too. Dr. Sabbagh recommended IBGuard and I like it because it is just peppermint, so natural. I take right now 6 a day 2 capsules before each meal with lots of water (more than a cup) and I have my life back.

As a person that suffers with IBS D this is an amazing supplement. Wish my doctor recommended this way sooner. You have to take it as instructed, after two weeks I am ok by taking 2 at morning and 2 at night. No more urgent diarrhea with painful bowel spasms. I get mine from Amazon in a 3 pack. It is expensive but worth every penny.

I have had bloating & diahrrea for years followed by constipation & abdominal pain. I went to a new gastro doc..he recommended IBGARD for my symptoms. I was skeptical but it really works well for me...can feel a release of bloat pressure within 30-45 minutes followed by relaxation of bowel. I have learned to take 2 capsules with 1-2 tsp of yogurt or applesauce..no aftertaste or burping peppermint! My bowels move well as the peppermint oil moves quickly to small intestine....no bouts of diahrrea! Yay! You need to take on regular basis for best results....it may change your life like it did for me!! Also I did the FODMAP to determine foods that trigger my symptoms..I eliminated some things like broccoli, artificial sweeteners, boxed wheat cereals! Read More Read Less

This works! I’ve had IBS-D for years. I was becoming a recluse, not able to be away from the bathroom. I decided to try this, and started treatment with 3 doses/day- as per instructions for a flare. Within a week, I noticed more regular, normal poops, and it’s been almost a month without diarrhea. Miraculous. You do have to follow the instructions: DRINK A LOT OF WATER WITH IT. That will alleviate heartburn or reflux issues. IT WORKS.

Similar to many of the patients in these reviews, I had a chronic case of IBS-D (urgency and diarrhea) that was accompanied by severe gas and the worse pain I have ever felt in my life in my abdomen. My doctor would put me on rounds of Imodium and hyoscyamine to stop the pain and diarrhea and within a couple days I would be suffering from constipation from the anti-diarrheal medications. And then repeat the whole process for over 2 years. It had gotten so bad that I could barely ever live my house because I was either in too much pain, or needed to stay in a bathroom. A few months ago my grandfather saw a commercial for IBguard and suggested I talk to my doctor about it. She approved for me to try it and so I did. Long story short, IBguard SAVED MY life. I take 2 capsules with a glass of water as soon as I wake up and I have no symptoms the rest of the day. Sometimes I will take it in the evening too if I feel I’m in a stressful situation or eating a lot of trigger foods, both of which typically trigger my IBS flare ups. I am so happy to say that I have been taking IBguard and no other IBS medications for over 3 months now and have had NO MORE IBS SYMPTOMS!! I finally have my life back. I personally have no side effects and highly recommend that you try this if you’re like me and no prescriptions have helped you. Totally worth it!Read More Read Less

I have ibsc ans ibguard helps me poop! My stooss are just like they are should be! I don't poop every morning but no more bloating and gas and no need of the many laxatives with syool softners that tear up my stomach and give me diarrhea throughout the day. This stuff is a God send. Just wish it was available through prescription so my insurance would help with the cost. Thank you ibguard!!

Taking this with Fiber Choice made all the difference. i tested FC by itself and IBgard by itself and it didn't work. Tested taking both before and after the individual trials and worked great.
