Prolonged adjustment symptoms while taking probiotics

Featured Replies

Hello. I’m new to this site. I was diagnosed with severe, atypical, post-viral IBS-C some 8 years ago, and was fully investigated.

I have had very little relief with the usual Allopathic remedies, including Amitriptyline and SSRI’s, and dietary manipulation, including low FODMAP. I tried several reputable probiotics, including Symprove and VSL3, but found that Alflorex relieved the constipation.

I started taking Ferrocalm about 16 weeks ago  and experienced adjustment symptoms from day 1 which still persist. These include worsening pain , looseness, flatulence, as well as Jarisch-Herxheimar type symptoms of headache, skin rashes and joint pains.

i have no features to suggest IBD or a bowel neoplasm, and feel that my persistent symptoms are the result of a severely dysbiotic gut microbiome.

 

Does anybody have experience of taking Ferrocalm , or has anyone experienced prolonged adjustment symptoms with any other probiotic?

I do believe that Ferrocalm is doing its job, and remain hopeful that I’ll see an eventual improvement.

 

Michael
