I hope you continue to see the wonderful results with it! I'm a C, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not...but I took it for about 2 months. The first week I was on it, I was more gassy & bloated, then it started working GREAT! I was having 'normal' bms pretty much every day. Then after about 6 weeks or so, it just stopped working. I don't know why. I'm about to try a new probiotic & see if it helps.

I wonder why things work in the beginning, get our hopes up and then stop working. Not fair!

Unfortunately many people on the boards have tried this without success. Or, it works for a month and then nothing.
If you want to try it, you can get it OTC at any drug store, by the laxatives and SFS products.
I hope it works for you! It is worth a shot I guess. I might even be tempted to try it again. First time it did nothing for me though. I'm glad SC has had success with it, and I hope it continues for her.

I've been taking it a while. At first it was working real well and I don't know if my body just got used to it or what but after a while it seemed to have stopped. On the box it states it's good for both "C" and "D" and in the first few days you may experience gas/bloating which is normal. Also, if you're menstruating or sick, they suggest you increase the dosage during that time. Heidi

Hi, to answer your question. It did seem to work the first couple of days I started to take which I was very surprised because on the package it said it may take like 10! I guess it just hit the spot with me. It does not give me "urgency" to have to use the bathroom. I just simply deel the need and I do! I THINK like a normal person might go to the bathroom..but who knows because I have never been normal when it comes to that!lol

Yea, I wouldnt yet call it a "miracle drug" either, even though since I feel so much better I am tempted to. I wish that this worked for everyone the way it has worked for me. Maybe some more people will find success I hope! I hate that some people say it has quit working for them I hate when that happens. That is what happened to me when I was on Zelnorm. It worked at first, it did cramp me up really bad, but at least I would go to the bathroom. Now it doesnt even phase me if I took it twice a day! Weird huh?! But I hope this DA keeps on working..I am on Day 20 or so I think..something like that!

Doesn't the mannitol and aspartime in the DA bother you? They are artificial sweetners that are known to play havoc with IBS tummies.
I want to try this, but I'm scared now that I know it contains these ingredients. But you have had such success with it. I hope it doesn't stop helping you...I hate when something works and you get your hopes up and then the bad times come back.

I've only been on it a little over a week, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps working. It is so nice to eat and not feel so bloated and crampy afterwards.

I am not sure about all that stuff that is in it. I have said on these message boards before..I have tried EVERY diet and every medicine and nothing has worked so I am not so concerned anymore about "trigger foods" and things like that because I have not found "certain" things that seem to bother me. For right now I am eating healthy but eating whatever I want and taking DA and it is working just fine for now! I hope it keeps working!!!...I will give you an update if it stops!
