Hi,
I went ahead and ordered a 24 dose supply for my wife. She has just completed the first 12 days. Her diet is pretty poor. Too much sugar, processed foods, and a lack of fruits and vegetables. For years she has suffered from severe constipation. In order to have maybe 1 or 2 bowel movements a week, if lucky, she has relied on laxatives, suppositories, enemas and cellulose fiber. A year or so ago, we tried the VSL product in the little packets which mix into water, and the results were not noticeable at the time. (This is not to judge the product, just to explain the difficulty. I have not read bad things about VSL. Seems to work for many.)
Sorry that this is too much information, but I will mention 1 apparant GREAT result. This morning she mentioned that she has started having unassisted bowel movements. Several over the last week. She has not noticed any skin benefits as of yet. We have not decided yet what dosing schedule we will use for the Elixa from here on out. I need to add some prebiotics, and whole food fiber sources into her diet. Hopefully that will keep her operating well. As an aside, due to my yogurt eating, I made a 6 litre batch with 1 of the Elixa capsules, and it made a fine tasting yogurt. I will stick to other cultures for my yogurt though.
