Metagenics Candibactin-AR 60SG

These helped my intestinal track.

Excellent blend and quality.

I decided to take this product because I know it's a great company and because of the study by Gerald Mullins, MD of Johns Hopkins that I read about on one of the reviews. It's google-able, so can be found online.I did a microbiome test by Thorne and they found that I had an overgrowth of some bad bacteria and yeast.So, I started taking this along w/some other products recommended by Thorne. [Pre-fiber, fiber, probiotics and prebiotics etc.]The thing about killing stuff in your gut is - it dies and then your body has to get rid of it. sometimes the body gets overwhelmed by the bad guys, even when they're dead. its called a HERX reaction. also google-able if you don't know what it is.so, if you feel badly after taking this product, it could be because of a HERX reaction and not because the product is faulty in any way. the opposite. its doing its job, ie killing the bad stuff.I would suggest starting slowly. 1 a day for a few days, then 2 a day if things are going ok.Also, food grade clay and food grade charcoal are also supposed to help get the bad stuff out. I'm not a doctor or medical professional. do your own research.I do detox baths, either clay + seaweed or epsom salts sometimes w/charcoal. that's a great way to detox because the bad stuff comes out your skin too, and it can get alot out in one bath.So, know that getting rid of the bad stuff in your gut takes a while. it's a marathon and not a sprint. start very slowly, work up to the suggested dose gradually.Since I did the test and have been following the recommendations and taking these products, I feel alot better, which means alot. I still think I have several more weeks to go, I'll get another microbiome test and see what that says.Best of luck!!

I have been using this product and ordered it from Full script. They delivered it with an ice pack. I ran out and needed one more bottle to finish my course so I ordered it from Amazon with next day delivery. It was melted together and not usable. Even when I tried them apart some broke open leaving an oil that would burn. The directions say not to use broken capsules because of this.I did not hear back from Metagenics - Amazon refunded my money when I contacted them through chat. Super disappointed. Buy this product elsewhere but I'm questioning if Metagenics actually cares for customers if they allow their products to be delivered this way.

I found that this, in combination with the CandiBactin-BR, was effective in treating methane SIBO that had proven resistant to antibiotics. See Chedid et al., Herbal Therapy Is Equivalent to Rifaximin for the Treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Your doctor (if you can find one knowledgeable about SIBO) may recommend a prokinetic such as prucalopride as a follow up to prevent relapse.
