Symprove - A life changer
I have a nervous stomach. The sheer thought of meeting up
with someone even close friends is enough to make it feel gurgly and up to 6
months ago cancelling my plans and rushing to the bathroom. Nice hey! I can’t
honestly count the number of times I cancelled play dates or meeting up trying
to make new friends because I’d get shy and I knew my tummy would play up at
the last minute. I ended up going to my doctor at the time after putting up
with for 5 years having been earlier fobbed off with oh its nerves, its
pregnancy, its being a new mum. Only have the doctor tell me Its IBS and
there’s nothing you can do, maybe stop being stressed. Helpful. Then about a
year ago I had the most excruciating stomach pains and have had a operation a
year previous to that over suspected appendicitis I started to get worried. Rip
roaring pains shot across my tummy and I honestly thought I’d be in hospital by
the end of the night. My husband called up the paramedics who shot round with
an out of hours doctor. A lovely truly wonderful man who immediately said “it
was one of the worse side effects of IBS and why wasn’t I controlling it” I
could control it? He gave me about 5 different pills and instructed me that’s
what I should be taking every day and if my stomach started to flare up to take
Imodium. Great! Problem solved. Only of course it wasn’t. Imodium causes me
severe constipation and trapped wind. Which needless to say causes more
problems and back we are in a full circle. The problem also was my stomach was
never 100% settled silly I know but I’d stress about not taking my tablets or
missing them or what they were doing to me. Then I was offered to review
Symprove. It had got to the state where quite frankly I would try anything just
to get out the house and enjoy being out not worrying when crippling stomach
pains hit. I know this all sounds dramatic but quite frankly it was. I would
just spend my days at home playing with the boys and make trips on our own
guaranteed not to cause stress, I could plan to make friends and go out in the
evening as I know I’d probably have to cancel with stomach pains. My husband
was fantastic I have to say and always encouraging but honestly it was soul
destroying so I jumped at the chance to try something new and something
natural.
Symprove sent me 3 weeks’ worth of mixture at a time try
but with the understanding to only try a week first and see how I went. Now
previously I was taking tablets with gluten in and a tablet to counter the
effect of gluten. Symprove is natural, gluten and dairy free so it had to be
better surely then 5 tablets morning and night?
My first reaction was gosh the taste! Hmm not the nicest as
you’re supposed to drink it before eating or drinking anything else and it
tainted my first cup of tea but I swapped to coffee and persevered. I braved coming off all the tablets as I
wasn’t too sure they actually helped and decided to do a proper test of
Symprove. After all the tests done by Kings College in London are quite
convincing and the best results were tackling the symptoms I suffered from. By the end of the first week I had noticed a
difference. By the end of three months I was up and out and making friends. It
was an incredibly difference. I’m (excuse the toilet language) regular now with
no extra horrible symptoms and while I still occasionally get a nervous stomach
its NOTHING at all to what it was. It’s given me a social life back and I have
to say I tested this when I was at my most stressed (the summer before my
youngest started school)
Symprove is a 12 week program (although I have kept it up
slightly longer) and you can but a one week bottle (just to see if it suits
you) or you can buy 4 or 8 week’s worth at a time. It might seem expensive but
when you’re paying for 5 different prescriptions’ every month it looks
incredibly cheap! Now with using a
lowfod map diet and having Symprove in the cupboard for stressful time or just
in case I basically have my life back. I have four coffee mornings this week
with all being held at my place. Something which a year ago could not have been
contemplated without a stomach cramp!
