Noticed an article on Intestaid in the Sunday Express Magazine, Health Matters section. The case study was on Jyotika Dave a 50 year old sales co-ordinator who has had stomach cramps, constipation and bouts of diarrhoea for 2 years. After about  a year of tests her consultant diagnosed IBS and prescribed antispasmodics and pain killers. The usual repsonse by GPs who don't know much about IBS. Last Autumn she saw an article on Intestaid the nucleotide based supplement which is aimed at replacing and restoring healthy cells on the gut lining. After a few weeks of taking the capsules she noticed that her flare-ups were becoming less frequent and then she realised she hadn't had an attack in over a week. It stayed that way and the bloating was gone and her spasms calmed down and her bowel habits were regular again. Interestingly, wondered if this was everyone experience of Intestaid, she tried not taking the Intestaid to see if the symptoms would come back. They did and she is back on Intestaid.  As ever not sure that Intestaid will work for everyone but if you have similar of contradictory stories please reply to this blog?

The recent article in the Daily Telegraph with comment from leading dietician Nigel Denby grabbed a lot of attention. Intestaid has been given a revamp with new packaging as the manufacturers hope to get the message of the benefit of nucleotide supplementation to a wider audience. Gratefully www.ibshealthcare.co.uk was listed as online supplier which brought a lot of traffic to our site.

We were delighted to feature in April's addition of SHE Magazine having tried their suggested diet for reducing the symptoms of IBS. The basics of the diet encourage a healthy balanced diet, and incorporate foods that are less likely to cause bloating. I am sure the same results can be achieved if our customers follow our diet tips....in our experience one of the benefits of following a prescribed plan is that gets you to focus on what you are eating rather than leaving it to chance.  We would be interested to know if you have the same experience or have suggestions for diet modifications that have really helped reduce your symptoms   

A message for current or former user of Bimuno. We would like to invite volunteers between the ages 18-65 who suffer from bloating to take part in a nationwide consumer study being carried out by the University of Reading. The study will last 8 weeks and requires participants to consume daily the provided food supplement. No changes to diet or lifestyle are required, just a daily diary answering some questions during the study period. The study will be carried out by The University of Reading who have been commissioned by the manufacturers of Bimuno to carry out the study, and they have asked us at www.ibshealthcare.com to help them find suitable participants.

If you are happy to take part in the study or would like more information before committing to the study please send an email to info@ibshealthcare.couk and we will be in contact.

Message for anyone who is a current or former user of IntestAid®IB. We would like to invite you to take part in a study being carried out by Liverpool Hope University that is looking at the dietary knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of individuals living with IBS. Liverpool Hope University have been commissioned by the manufacturers of IntestAid®IB to carry out the study, and have asked us at www.ibshealthcare.com to help them find suitable participants. The University’s Dieticians have compiled a short questionnaire (approx 10 minutes to complete) which has the purpose of assessing the dietary knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of individuals living with IBS.
