'Irritable Bowel Syndrome' Symptoms Relief: My Recommended Probiotics

People's quality of life improves when their gut is healthy.

These days, it seems like everyone takes probiotics to maintain gut health as a matter of course.

However, not all probiotics are good for the gut.

I've tried various popular products in Korea, but in many cases, my symptoms worsened, and I couldn't finish them, having to give them away to acquaintances.

There are specific probiotics for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)is classified into diarrhea-predominant IBS, constipation-predominant IBS, and alternating IBS, depending on the symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea.

In reality, probiotics can help improve some of the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The important thing is that many probiotics on the market are not tailored for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Trying to improve your gut health can actually trigger Irritable Bowel Syndrome. 🙄

Many products contain "prebiotics" ingredients such as fructooligosaccharides and xylooligosaccharides, which are food sources for beneficial bacteria, but these are all sugars that are poorly absorbed by the intestines.

If you have a sensitive gut and experience indigestion, you should choose probiotics with low amounts of poorly absorbed sugars.

3 Probiotics I've Tried and Found Effective 👍

1. Jarro-Dophilus EPS 100 Billion Vegetarian Capsules by Jarrow Formulas

Although it's an overseas product, it's readily available in Korea.

A 60-tablet bottle (2-month supply) can be purchased for around 30,000 won.

2. Jang E Rock Cap.

This is a medication that requires a prescription from a doctor.

When my symptoms were severe, I got a recommendation from my doctor and took it, and the effects were immediate.

The doctor told me that if I'm really struggling, I shouldn't hesitate to come in and they'd prescribe it for me.

I've kept a note of the medicine name for future reference.

3. NBL Gynobiotic

I received this as a gift and it worked so well for me that I looked it up, and it turns out that

it's manufactured by a Korean pharmaceutical company (Cell Biotech) but only sold overseas. 😭

Turkish Amazon is where I found the product, and a 10-capsule bottle costs about 10,350 won.

I'm not sure if it will be sold in Korea in the future.
