Just a small warning to anyone who uses Digestive Advantage IBS - for some unfathomable reason the manufacturers seem to have changed their formula to a sugar-free version, which means that the product now includes sucralose, an artificial sweetener.
This is a very odd decision because IBS patients are often very sensitive to artificial sweeteners, and lots of people advise against using them in tea and coffee etc. Why a company would start adding them to a product made specifically for IBS sufferers is a bit of a mystery, to say the least...
I have written to the manufacturers, Ganeden Biotech, to see if they can shed any light on the matter. In the meantime, if you do use Digestive Advantage it might be worth checking the ingredients list, and if your pack contains sucralose then just be on the lookout for any changes in symptoms. It may not affect you at all, but it's something to keep in mind.
This is a shame really as Digestive Advantage IBS is probably one of the most highly-rated products on my IBS Treatment site, and I usually hear very good things about it. Maybe if the manufacturers get inundated with "Why oh why" messages from IBS people they'll quickly change it back...
