Digestive health products helped me combat my IBS

For about the last three years I have struggled with persistent Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I have seen my share of doctors, specialists and dieticians to deal with this embarrassing disease and try to find some sort of relief. I have spent a great deal of money on medications, groceries to buy special foods, co-payments for doctors office visits, not to mention time away from work and my family to seek medical treatment for this condition. I have canceled going out with friends, visiting with family members, even attending my children’s recitals and sporting events because I have had such horrible bouts. I have even canceled and rescheduled meetings at work, only to cancel and reschedule them again, as well as worked from home so I would be close to the bathroom at all times. It has been a horrible time and one that, thankfully, I no longer have to endure. Thanks to Christine’s Corner, Beyond Probiotics and the wonderful author Jordan Rubin, I have taken my life back. I cannot tell you, personally, just how much the products through this company have meant to me, or how much the educational materials available through this wonderful resource have helped me.

I used to feel powerless to take control of my life; powerless to take control of my illness. That was before I found Christine’s Corner Inc. and the wonderful products through Beyond Probiotics. I started out by buying the book, Restoring Your Digestive Health by Jordan Rubin. Then I started using Primal Defense from Garden of Life. Primal Defense is a probiotic brand containing Homeostatic® Soil Organisms (HSOs) that are good bacteria that are virtually extinct because of modern-day farming and cultivation practices. HSOs are necessary for balance in the digestive system. I thought I would see how well my body responded to using this product and if my results were favorable, I would consider purchasing some of the other recommended products through the site. Within a couple weeks I noticed a huge difference. I then started taking OmegaZyme Ultra, also by Garden of Life, which is supposed to help your body by providing it with the enzymes that are critical to proper absorption and use of nutrients in the body. About five months after starting this regimen of probiotics and enzymes, I feel great. Finally, I can feel confident when I say that my life is now my own again.
