Alflorex Original – Daily Gut Health Probiotics - Contains Bifidobacterium Longum Bacterial Culture Strain 35624 – No Refrigeration Required - 30 Capsules

Product Information

A new probiotic, called Alflorex, is the result of more than 15 years of clinical research and 75 leading scientific publications. Alflorex contains a probiotic strain called B. infantis3564 which specifically targets and alleviates the symptoms of IBS. Only recently launched in the UK, the strain is known in the US as Align, where it is the number one probiotic recommended by gastroenterologists for the treatment of IBS. ‘The gut bacteria plays an important role in many digestive health issues,’ says Professor Eammon Quigley, one of the world’s leading Gastroenterologists in IBS and Chief of Gastroenterology at Houston Methodist Hospital. ‘ B. infantis 35624, the strain in Alflorex, is one of the few products that has been truly developed on a scientific basis and tested in high quality clinical studies to help the symptoms of IBS.’

Can't comment on the product yet but the customer service from Precision Biotics is poor and I won't be using them again Bought these after suffering with stomach bloating. Took them for just over 4 weeks hoping they would help but they gave me diarrhoea and stomach pain every day. I was patient and hoped it would settle down but it got so uncomfortable I had to stop. Shame it didn’t work for me” – February 15, 2018 shoppingListJS = new ShoppingListJS({storeId: '11352',catalogId: '28501',langId: '-1'}, {id: '1548235', name: 'Alflorex ® Original Daily Gut Health Supplement, 30 Capsules', image: '', type: 'ItemBean', components: {}, skus: []}, {}, "shoppingListJS"); I have done the elimination phase of the diet, ( which I kept to ), now waiting to see my dietitian in a couple of weeks for the reintroduction stage. I have been taking Alflorex for about four months and have found that it has considerably helped with the discomfort I was suffering. My IBS is almost entirely caused by stress and anxiety and is not caused by what I eat or drink and has varied in the past between IBS-C and IBS-D. On the advice of Dr. Read I take one sachet a day of Questran/Colestyramine before my main meal and that, combined with one capsule of Alflorex in the morning, means that IBS seldom gives me problems.Thank you all for replies. Yes sashapet I have done many diets including Fodmaps with no success. I tend to suffer more with IBS-C and very slow stomach emptying. Alflorex seemed to increase the gas and pressure throughout my digestive system, so making the symptoms worse. I have suffered for many years and could write a book of my experiences on the road for a cure or at least relief. For so many years no one knew about IBS, just 'all nerves' or psycological. As I'm sure many could testify, having to deal with others misunderstanding, unsympathetic attitudes and therefore judgements is a very heavy burden to add to a very debilitating condition.Sorry rant over, thanks for your empathy. After 1 week I noticed subtle changes, but not dramatic. The bloating I would usually feel after a larger meal felt less uncomfortable, but I wasn’t sure if this was just a placebo effect and you can’t really tell after 1 week alone anyway.

I now take a probiotic containing acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactic, alongside low FODMAP diet, this works better for me.

Food Supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be substituted for a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. Alflorex was developed in collaboration with the APC Microbiome Institute in Ireland a centre at the cutting edge of global probiotic research. Just last year, I reported on work being done there which showed that men taking another probiotic strain, called Bifidobacterium longum 1714 performed better in stress tests than those taking a placebo. 75 scientific papers have shown the benefits of Alflorex So our focus is on investing to find the best bacterial culture for each specific gut action. We then put each through a rigorous series of tests, culminating in clinical trials in the UK and Europe. Hi Bananadave, I have read these lasts few posts on Alflorex with interest as I have also been taking it for a month with no improvement ( I have IBS-C ). The children’s straws (for ages 3 and older) contain rapeseed oil and the probiotic. They, too, contain 1 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 at time of manufacture. The straws are individually wrapped in foil and extend once pulled upon. The 35624 culture is suspended in the oil droplet in the straw at the blue end of the straw. The blue end should be placed in a cool liquid.

For less than the average cost of ONE month’s supply of Alflorex you can know what the research actually shows and whether or not it may help you. Note that Alflorex contains the same 35624 as the Align supplement sold in the US. Marketing materials say it " is the #1 Gastroenterologist recommended probiotic culture in the U.S.” This claim is based on a survey performed in 2017 among doctors and/or gastroenterologists who recommended a brand of probiotic by a human data service company, AlphaImpactRx. Marketing materials also state that it is the winner of awards from Irish pharmacists and industry experts, who voted it the winner of Best Gastrointestinal Product for 3 years in a row at the Irish Pharmacy News OTC (over-the-counter) Awards.

We spend many years observing and testing them in real people to ensure they deliver the precise effects needed and that they meet our rigorous safety standards. I have been using alflorex for the past year it has been such a help I am a cancer patient and suffer with diverticulitis which makes taking chemo tablets difficult I was very ill when I started my treatment but with the help of alflorex I can manage the side effects so much better now .. I am greatful it works so well ...

As of January, 2019, the capsules contain 1 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 at time of manufacture.My specialist recommended these to me. The first two weeks on these were absolute hell. Unbearable stomach cramps. Needing to run to the toilet at all hours of the day. But by week three a massive change had occurred. I now feel almost cured from the burden that is IBS. I guess the first two weeks were caused by my stomach getting used to the bacteria. Now I am able to stop taking daily dosages of Imodium and not worry.” – October 3, 2017 After 3 weeks I wanted to see if the Yakult drinks I tried and failed with before would work better alongside Alflorex. I’d really not recommend it, it just exhausts your gut and makes digestion even more difficult than before. Very soon after starting taking the Alflorex tablets, I began to feel better. I have had IBS for many years, and although I am still very careful with what I eat, I am sure these tablets are helping. They are expensive but if they continue to work I am willing to pay. I have been taking Alflorex for a week now. Unfortunately, I did experience some unpleasant side effects. Extremely tired and a negative change in my bowel movements. Constipation but also diarrhea at the same time. In addition, I am bloated and I have a lot of pain on the right side of the stomach. @PrecisionBiotics, What are your thoughts on this? Does it sound familiar and should I continue? So far so good. No side effects. Must be working fine since I don't have any discomfort. I haven't noticed anything spectacular, but I've only had it for a little while. I'll have to give it a few more weeks...” – February 2, 2018
